About Artie

Artie is a fully-managed real-time data streaming platform that replicates production databases into data warehouses and lakes - in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

We’re trusted by teams like Substack, Alloy, and ClickUp, and raised a Series A from top-tier investors including Standard Capital, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.

Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity - and we’re growing fast.

About the Role

This is not a resume-screening role and not a "find profiles and pass them along" job.

You will own pipeline generation across our most critical open roles — engineering, sales, and operations — working directly with our recruiter and founders to identify, engage, and warm up the candidates we actually want to talk to.

If you view sourcing as a mix of research, outbound sales, and creative detective work, this role is for you.

This is a high-output, high-ownership role. The quality of your pipeline directly determines the quality of our hires.

What You'll Do

• Build and own top-of-funnel pipeline
• Proactively source candidates across Engineering and Sales roles using LinkedIn, personal networks, referrals, and non-obvious channels
• Run targeted outbound campaigns — crafting personalized messages that actually get responses, not copy-paste templates
• Maintain a warm pipeline of candidates at all stages — not just active applicants, but future hires we haven't opened a role for yet
• Identify and engage passive candidates who aren't looking but should be
• Partner closely with recruiting and leadership
• Work directly with our recruiter and hiring managers to deeply understand each role — not just the job description, but what "great" actually looks like
• Calibrate continuously on signal vs. noise — what profiles are converting and why
• Flag patterns in the market: where the talent is, where the competition is hiring from, what's moving people
• Run outreach with rigor and creativity
• Write compelling, personalized outreach across LinkedIn, email, and other channels
• A/B test messaging approaches and iterate based on response rates
• Keep candidates warm through thoughtful, timely follow-up
• Own sourcing operations
• Keep our ATS (Ashby) clean and up to date — every candidate tracked, every stage logged
• Track sourcing metrics: outreach volume, response rates, pipeline conversion, time-to-screen
• Identify bottlenecks and bring solutions, not just status updates

What We're Looking For

• Sourcing depth, not just breadth
• 4+ years of sourcing or recruiting experience, ideally at a fast-moving startup or agency
• Proven ability to build pipelines for hard-to-fill technical and GTM roles
• Experience with using AI and sourcing tools. (Cursor, Juicebox, Linkedin Recruiter, etc.)
• Sharp outreach instincts
• You write messages people actually respond to — specific, human, and relevant
• You understand that sourcing is persuasion, and you're good at it
• You know when to follow up and when to move on
• High output, high ownership
• You run multiple searches simultaneously without dropping balls
• You track your own metrics and hold yourself accountable to them
• You surface problems before they become blockers

• Close partnership: Work directly with our recruiter and founding team, not buried in a sourcing queue
• Real ownership: You'll own the pipeline for roles that matter, with full visibility into outcomes
• Path to more: Strong performance opens the door to a full-time role as Artie scales its talent function
