We build infrastructure that delivers massive amounts of web data to the companies training the world’s most powerful AI models.
We're the team that helps to power and support Grass, a bandwidth-sharing network that lets us operate a massive distributed crawler, giving us unique access to high-quality public web data at global scale. On top of that, we’ve built pipelines for ingesting, segmenting, and annotating billions of videos, transcripts, and audio files, powering dataset creation for frontier labs.
We’re lean, technical, and move fast. No red tape, no slow decision-making; just a team of builders pushing to expand what’s possible for open web data and AI.
As a Technical Sourcer at Wynd Labs, you will be the engine behind our growth. You won’t just be filling seats; you will be identifying the architects of the decentralized web. This role requires a hunter's mentality and a deep understanding of the technical landscapes we operate in—specifically web crawling, large data infrastructures, and AI/ML engineering.
You will partner directly with our Operations and Engineering leadership to map out niche markets and execute aggressive outbound strategies.
High-Volume Sourcing: Execute relentless outbound campaigns to build a robust pipeline of world-class technical talent across multiple engineering and research verticals.
Find the Top 1%: Utilize creative search techniques, open-source communities (GitHub, Discord, X), and technical deep-dives to identify and engage the top 1% talent in technical roles who aren't looking for their next job.
Strategic Mapping: Identify talent hubs in the AI, Data, and infrastructure sectors, staying ahead of market trends to find talent before our competitors do.
Brand Ambassadorship: Act as the first point of contact for Wynd Labs, delivering a high-signal, compelling narrative about our mission that resonates with senior-level, deeply technical candidates.
Data-Driven Iteration: Track your outreach metrics and conversion rates to constantly refine your approach and messaging.
Comfortable in the Unknown: You possess a proven ability to navigate ambiguity to find top talent. In a fast-moving startup environment, you can pivot quickly and find clarity where others see noise.
Technical Fluency: You speak the language of engineers. You understand the difference between a systems engineer and a product engineer, and you can evaluate a GitHub profile with precision.
Growth Mindset: You are energized by the challenge of "high-volume" without sacrificing the "high-bar" for quality.
Relentless Researcher: You don't just rely on LinkedIn; you are an expert in finding talent in the corners of the internet where the best engineers actually hang out.
Opportunity. We are at the forefront of developing a web-scale crawler and knowledge graph that improves access to public web data and extends the value of AI to the people.
Culture. We're a lean team with a high bar. We come to work not to be comfortable, but to find out what we're capable of and to do work that matters. We're not calling for people who keep things moving. We're calling for people who make everyone around them better. We prioritize low ego and high output. This is a fully remote team.
Compensation. You’ll receive a competitive salary, benefits and equity package.
