Technical Sourcer

Working at Uber means solving hard problems in a high-stakes, fast-moving environment. You’ll need to take ownership, stay adaptable, and build with both urgency and care. If you’re energized by challenge and motivated by real-world impact — this is where you’ll grow.

As a Technical Sourcer, you will act as a market intelligence and talent discovery partner to Engineering. Your primary focus will be proactively identifying, engaging, and building high-quality pipelines of technical talent — particularly passive candidates — ahead of hiring demand.

You will partner closely with recruiters and Engineering leaders across the Netherlands, Denmark, and Turkey to shape hiring strategies, refine target profiles, and identify exceptional technical talent who can thrive at Uber’s scale and complexity. Rather than focusing on full-cycle recruiting or offer management, you will specialize in talent mapping, advanced search strategy, and long-term pipeline development across critical technical domains.

Leveraging data, predictive analytics, and emerging AI tools, you will design innovative sourcing approaches to identify, nurture, and activate top talent for repeatable, hard-to-fill roles. You will play a key role in influencing hiring strategy by delivering market insights, competitor intelligence, and data-driven sourcing recommendations that elevate both quality and speed.
