Senior Sourcer - Tech

At Arena Club, we’re igniting a collectibles revolution. Backed by legendary 5× World Series Champion Derek Jeter and trailblazer Brian Lee, we’ve launched the first-ever digital card show—a dynamic marketplace where innovation, transparency, and pure excitement drive everything we do. Our cutting-edge platform offers unparalleled grading, authentication, secure vaulting, and digital pack openings (Slab Packs ®), giving collectors the power to curate unique online showrooms and redefine their collecting experience.

We are seeking a Senior Sourcer - Tech to be the engine behind our technical talent pipeline. You'll report to the Head of Talent Acquisition and partner closely with our Technical Talent Partner and engineering leaders. We have an extraordinarily high bar, and your job is to fill the funnel with candidates who actually meet it. 

• Source and engage passive engineering talent across engineering and product in the US and internationally.
• Develop deep technical fluency in our stack and engineering disciplines to craft credible, compelling outreach that resonates with Junior to Principal level talent.
• Leverage diverse sourcing channels, open source communities, AI tools, and contact tools. 
• Build and maintain talent maps and org charts for target companies to inform proactive pipeline development.
• Design and execute outreach experiments, including A/B testing messaging, video outreach, and nurture sequences to optimize response rates.
• Manage candidate pipelines with a CRM mindset, tracking all touchpoints and mining referrals from the engineering team.
• Take a data-driven approach, tracking response rates, conversions, and talent quality to continuously refine your sourcing strategy.
• Partner with recruiting leadership and hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements, calibrate on candidate profiles, and refine targeting based on feedback.

You're a hunter with deep technical curiosity. You understand engineering disciplines—not just keywords—and use that knowledge to craft outreach that earns responses from elite engineers. You're obsessive about your craft, always learning new tools and techniques. You take pride in pipeline quality, not volume.
