About this role

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

Bonus points:

You have familiarity with sourcing/recruiting tooling such as Gem, Lever, or similar platforms
