Staff Technical Sourcer
Ambience Healthcare
About Us:
Ambience is developing the most capable AI systems for healthcare and medicine. As healthcare costs soar to 17.3% of US GDP and a projected shortage of 100,000 physicians within the next decade, the need for AI is critical. Our frontline healthcare workers are overwhelmed, with only 27% of the average clinician's day spent on direct patient care.
Our vision is to advance healthcare by empowering clinicians with safe, intelligent AI agents that improve quality, reduce costs, and enhance both patient and provider experiences.
Headquartered in San Francisco, we have secured $100M in funding from top investors, including Kleiner Perkins, OpenAI Startup Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, Optum Ventures, Human Capital, and Martin Ventures. We collaborate with leading AI experts such as Jeff Dean, Richard Socher, Pieter Abbeel, and AIX Ventures.
Join us in the endeavor of accelerating the path to safe & useful clinical super intelligence by becoming part of our community of problem solvers, technologists, clinicians, and innovators.
The Role:
We’re looking for a mission-driven Staff Technical Sourcer to join a foundational team in Ambience’s technical recruiting efforts. In this high-impact, zero-to-one role, you’ll partner closely with our engineering leaders to design and execute sourcing strategies that identify and engage world-class technical talent. You’ll own the top of the funnel: mapping markets, driving outreach experiments, and delivering high-signal candidates across engineering and machine learning roles. This is a builder's role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, works with urgency, and has a deep appreciation for the art and science of sourcing.
This role is Remote friendly in the Continental U.S.
What You’ll Do:
Own top-of-funnel strategy for a range of highly specialized technical roles—including software engineers (platform, infrastructure, full-stack), machine learning engineers, and others.
Develop scalable sourcing systems and documentation: search strategies, outreach sequences, and talent maps
Partner deeply with hiring managers to calibrate profiles, align on pipelines, and iterate based on feedback
Act as a sourcing SME within the recruiting org—contributing sourcing enablement resources and sharing best practices across the team.
Champion a high-quality, personalized candidate experience that builds lasting brand equity and reputation in competitive technical talent markets.
Who You Are:
You have 7+ years of technical sourcing or recruiting experience, ideally within a high-growth startup where hustle, creativity, and storytelling were essential.
You’re a zero-to-one operator—someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds systems from scratch, and iterates quickly based on feedback and data.
You’re resilient and resourceful, able to make progress even when facing ambiguity or limited direction.
You have a strong understanding of technical domains, with experience sourcing ML talent, backend/front-end/full-stack engineers, and niche AI roles.
You’re an exceptional communicator—equally comfortable pitching hard-to-reach talent and syncing with execs.
You bring a first-principles mindset and are deeply outcome-oriented, always optimizing for impact.
You’ve built inclusive sourcing practices and care about crafting memorable, high-touch candidate experiences.
You’re passionate about helping scale mission-driven companies and can compellingly pitch Ambience’s vision in competitive talent markets.
