Technical Sourcer - Part time/Contract

Patreon • New York, NY

3d • $75 - $85 • Hybrid

About The Position

Patreon is seeking a Contract Technical Sourcer to support their mission of funding the creative class. This role will partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and technical leadership to define and execute sourcing strategies for Engineering, Product, and Design roles. The position involves identifying and engaging passive talent, building talent pipelines, and improving sourcing processes. This is a part-time role, requiring 20 hours per week, and can be based in New York or San Francisco with a hybrid work model requiring 3 days per week in the office.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience sourcing for technical roles (Engineering required; Product and/or Design a plus) at high-growth technology companies or startup
• Strong understanding of the technical landscape: you can speak credibly about roles, stacks, and levels (for example, backend vs. frontend vs. mobile vs. infrastructure/ML) and evaluate profiles against a role's core requirements
• Hands-on experience with sourcing tools and channels such as LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, social media, and technical communities and forums
• Experience with an applicant tracking system; Ashby experience strongly preferred
• A track record of crafting creative, data-informed sourcing strategies that build a consistent, diverse pipeline of qualified candidates
• Excellent written communication, with a demonstrated ability to write outreach that gets responses from passive talent
• Comfort partnering with recruiters and senior technical stakeholders, and influencing hiring strategy rather than just taking requests
• Strong organization and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple searches at once
• Demonstrated ability to embrace change, learn quickly, and thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment where processes are still being built
• A genuine passion for the creator economy and the people who make a living doing what they love

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and technical leadership to define and run sourcing strategy for Engineering, Product, and Design roles across a range of levels, from early-career to senior and staff-plus
• Run intake conversations with hiring teams to understand the technical needs of each role, translate them into target profiles, and set clear sourcing goals and timelines
• Proactively identify and engage passive talent through LinkedIn, GitHub, open-source communities, technical forums, portfolios, conferences, and other channels where technical talent spends time
• Write personalized, compelling outreach that earns responses from in-demand engineers, product managers, and designers, and continuously test and refine messaging based on what works
• Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates in the early stages of the process, providing a warm, responsive, high-touch experience that reflects our brand
• Build and maintain talent pipelines and talent pools so we have qualified candidates ready ahead of demand
• Build sourcing strategies that expand our reach and bring in diverse slates of qualified candidates
• Track and report on pipeline health and funnel metrics (response rates, conversion by channel, time to submit), and use that data to improve how we source
• Improve our sourcing and early-stage processes by identifying bottlenecks, testing new approaches, and sharing best practices with the broader talent team
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date candidate data and activity in our applicant tracking system

Benefits

• Patreon operates under a hybrid work model, where employees based in office locations are expected to come into the office three days per week, excluding sick time and paid leave.
• The goal of this policy is to be intentional about the in-person time we spend together to strengthen the feeling of community at Patreon.
• Candidates hired into remote-eligible roles are not expected to meet the same requirements.
• At Patreon, we believe in fair and transparent pay. In compliance with New York and California pay transparency laws, we are sharing the expected salary range for this role.
• The posted salary range is dependent on the location and the level. This range may encompass multiple levels within the role’s job family.
• The final offer will be based on candidate’s experience, skills, competencies, and geographic location, aligning with the appropriate job level within Patreon’s leveling framework.
• For remote employees located outside CA and NY, salary may vary based on location and local market conditions.
• Patreon reserves the right to modify or update compensation and benefits at any time.
