About the role

Member of Technical StaffSan Francisco, CAFull-time In-person For exceptional builders who don't fit in a box Former founder? Research engineer? Generalist who's been the secret weapon on every team you've joined? This is the role. Member of Technical Staff means one thing at Sourcerer: you can take an impossibly ambiguous problem - "underwrite any supplier in China," "make an agent negotiate a purchase order" - and come back with a working system. You'll work across everything: agents, data infrastructure, product, and whatever the mission demands this month. The ceiling on this role is wherever you take it. What you'll own Whatever matters most right now - agent workflows, search and scraping infrastructure across a dozen-plus countries, underwriting models, customer-facing product The full loop - prototype fast, prove it with real customers, then harden it into production Your own trajectory - MTS here has grown into engineering leadership, AI leadership, and staff-level IC paths. The role becomes what your work earns. Who we're looking for Exceptional technical ability - we care about what you've built, not how many years you've existed Serious experience with modern AI tooling (LLMs, agents, evals) and/or hard systems engineering Maximum agency: you find the problem, you solve the problem, you tell us about it after You want the earliest seat possible at a company that already has real revenue and real enterprise customers What you get Competitive salary + early-stage equity calibrated to what you bring Full benefits (health, dental, vision) The most leverage-per-person you will find anywhere: small team, huge market, direct line to founders and customers

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
