The template

Subject: Your {{tech_stack}} work caught my eye

Hi {{first_name}},

I saw your contributions to {{open_source_project_or_github}} — the way you handled {{specific_technical_decision}} was impressive.

We're building {{what_you_are_building}} at {{your_company}} with a similar stack. We have a {{role}} opening that involves {{technical_challenge}}.

The team is small ({{team_size}}) so there's a lot of ownership. {{relevant_perk}} is part of the package.
