About Ebube Chinda

I’m Ebube (Johnny) Chinda — an Independent Technical Sourcing Partner & Software Engineer specializing in helping early-stage and YC-backed startups hire senior technical talent fast. Before partnering with founders, I built and shipped software as an engineer — so I understand what excellence looks like in product, code, and team. That background lets me speak tech fluently and accurately assess candidates on both ability and impact. What I do: I run structured Technical Sourcing Sprints that deliver outbound pipelines of high-signal candidates, handle deep screening, and only surface interviews worth your time — so founders can stay focused on building. I partner with European, Canadian, and USA remote-first startups to close critical early hires without agency markups or chaotic inbound queues. What sets me apart: Engineering mindset — not just recruiter talkProactive outbound sourcing for passive talentRelationship-driven candidate engagementEmbedded with founders, not selling resumes Let’s build teams that build world-class products — not just fill roles.
