Technical Sourcer

Summary

Swarm Aero is building autonomous aircraft and Legion, software that coordinates aircraft into swarms. The Technical Sourcer will own top-of-funnel sourcing for software engineering roles and later expand into sourcing aircraft engineering talent across propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, and production.

Responsibilities

• You own top of funnel for our software engineering roles: backend, frontend, autonomy, forward deployed. You will be reading GitHub profiles, writing outreach that engineers answer, and building searches that keep producing after the obvious names are gone
• Inside your first year you move onto the aircraft side: propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, production

Skills

• 1+ years of sourcing or recruiting, most of it in software engineering
• A hire you are proud of, one nobody else was going to find, and the ability to walk us through exactly how you found them
• A high tolerance for silence, because most of your outreach will go unanswered and the job is making the next message better anyway
• Real curiosity about how aircraft get built, or at least the honesty to say you find it interesting and want in
• Writing that sounds like a person, since your entire work product is text a stranger decides to open or delete
• Clean data habits, because our reporting goes to the CEO and it needs to be right
• To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
