Technical Sourcer, Engineering

The DoorDash Technical Recruiting team supports the Engineering, Design, Analytics, and Product Management organizations, and is made up of recruiters, sourcers, and coordinators who partner with our technical leaders to hire the best talent at DoorDash.

Our Technical Sourcing team owns the earliest, highest-leverage part of the hiring funnel for Engineering. We build market maps, identify talent, and drive outreach for some of DoorDash's most senior and hardest-to-fill technical roles — with real influence over how DoorDash builds its engineering bench.

This is a remote role that can be located in a US central or east coast time zone.

As a Technical Sourcer, you will be a strategic sourcing partner to global Engineering hiring managers and Technical Recruiters, responsible for building and executing sourcing strategies for senior and staff+ software engineering and infrastructure roles. You'll own market mapping, competitive intelligence, and outreach for a portfolio of some of our most critical and hardest-to-fill technical reqs.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives with a high degree of autonomy, has deep fluency in technical talent markets, and can build trusted partnerships with engineering leaders.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Partner directly with Technical Recruiters and Engineering Hiring Managers to build and execute sourcing strategies for engineering roles across all levels.

• Own market mapping and competitive intelligence to identify where the best technical talent lives and how to reach it.

• Drive outreach and initial candidate engagement for a portfolio of concurrent, hard-to-fill technical reqs.

• Consult with hiring managers on role scoping, leveling, and sourcing strategy.

• Present sourcing strategy and market insights to cross-functional recruiting and engineering partners.

• Calibrate candidate profiles with recruiters and hiring managers using funnel data — submittals, conversion, and time-to-fill.

• Deliver an exceptional, high-touch candidate experience from first outreach through handoff to the interview process.

• Contribute to sourcing process improvements, tooling, and market-intel sharing across the Technical Sourcing team.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 3+ years of technical sourcing/recruiting experience, ideally sourcing for senior/staff+ software engineering or infrastructure roles.

• You have expert-level boolean/x-ray search skills, and fluency with sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, GitHub, etc.), plus strong market-mapping and competitive-intelligence ability.

• You have a proven track record of consulting with hiring managers on role scoping, leveling, and sourcing strategy.

• You have excellent written outreach and candidate engagement skills, with a track record of delivering a great candidate experience.

• You are self-motivated and intellectually curious, and comfortable owning a portfolio of concurrent reqs with a high degree of autonomy.

• You are comfortable leveraging AI tools and emerging sourcing techniques from AI-assisted search and market research to LLM-based outreach drafting to source faster and more effectively.
