About The Position

Watney is looking for a Technical Sourcer to join our fast-growing talent function and help us build one of the most exceptional teams in robotics. You'll work closely with our founders and recruiting team to identify the very best talent available. This is a hands-on, technical sourcing opportunity to scale Watney from 25 to 60+ by the end of the year. This role will represent Watney’s primary sourcing engine across multiple disciplines simultaneously: technical, GTM, operational, and leadership roles.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience as a sourcer, ideally at a fast-moving startup or tech company
• A sharp eye for talent: you find candidates others miss, and you create pipeline in unique ways
• Obsessively organized and take pride in running a tight, candidate-friendly process
• Communicate clearly and warmly: candidates feel cared for, not processed
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities without losing track of the details
• Learn tools quickly and are comfortable in Ashby or a comparable ATS

Nice To Haves

• Sourced in robotics, deep tech, or hardware (a plus, not required).

Responsibilities

• Implement sourcing strategies for several open searches at once.
• Reach candidates who aren't actively job hunting through direct outreach, referrals, and community engagement.
• Calibrate with founders and hiring managers deeply technical and complex searches.
• Help maintain a standard of operational recruiting excellence as we grow the talent team from the ground up.
