Identify and engage exceptional technical candidates globally, build strong candidate pipelines, and partner with hiring leaders on sourcing strategies while maintaining autonomy.
Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us.
We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
We’re hiring multiple Technical Sourcers to focus exclusively on identifying, engaging, and attracting outstanding technical talent globally. This role is intentionally focused on sourcing high-caliber technical candidates and building pipelines that convert into strong hires.
You’ll be supported by a well-developed recruiting operation and experienced hiring partners. That said, sourcing here is treated as a specialist craft - not a coordination role, not a volume game. We value judgment, signal detection, and thoughtful outreach over activity metrics. You’ll have autonomy, context, and high expectations.
This engagement begins as a contract, with the potential to transition to full-time based on results and impact.
What You'll Do:
- Identify and engage exceptional passive technical candidates globally using thoughtful, multi-channel sourcing approaches
- Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines with a clear emphasis on quality over volume
- Partner closely with hiring leaders to understand what strong talent actually looks like in context, not just on paper
- Craft outreach that is specific, credible, and worth responding to
- Use data, candidate feedback, and conversion patterns to refine sourcing approaches over time
- Operate largely independently while maintaining awareness of overlapping sourcing efforts
Who You Are:
- You’ve successfully sourced technical talent for organizations known for strong hiring standards, where candidate quality mattered more than pipeline size
- You know how to identify real technical talent signals beyond resumes, keywords, or brand-name employers
- You understand where strong technical candidates actually spend time - communities, open-source ecosystems, technical forums, events, niche networks - not just traditional platforms
- You’re comfortable owning results without needing close day-to-day direction
- You balance strategy and execution: designing sourcing approaches while also doing the hands-on work
- You’re a strong written communicator who can engage senior technical candidates in a way that feels informed and credible
- You’re results-oriented with strong personal accountability
- You’re comfortable working asynchronously in a globally distributed environment
- You have familiarity with sourcing/recruiting tooling such as Gem, Lever, or similar platforms

Benefits

We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
