Founding Recruiter

Raindrop

Raindrop Monitoring Platform

Raindrop is the monitoring platform for AI agents. Engineering teams at Fortune 100s and the fastest-growing AI companies use it to catch silent failures in production. When an agent misbehaves, Raindrop alerts the team, links to the trace, and surfaces the root cause so they can fix it fast. With Raindrop 2.0 (Self-Healing Agents), the loop closes itself: your coding agent fixes it, and the fix becomes an eval to prevent regressions.

Why It Matters

AI agents fail constantly in ways both hilarious and terrifying. Regular software throws exceptions. But AI agents fail silently, leaving engineers with almost no visibility into how their agents are actually performing.

The current status quo is sifting through millions of logs and trying to debug flaky evals that just aren't matching real world results. Evals are like unit tests, they confirm your model got specific test cases right. But in the real world agents call thousands of tools, run for hours, and encounter millions of unpredictable actions.

That's where Raindrop comes in. It learns the unique shape of each AI agent's issues. Starting from presets like Laziness, Forgetting, or Task Failure, to automatically tuning itself to each agent and discovering unknown unknowns.

With one click of a button, AI engineers start tracking issues or topics across 100% of their production data. They can see frequency over time, how many users are affected, relevant properties and more.

In order to process hundreds of millions of events, we gradually train small, custom models, private to each company, that learn to uniquely understand how their product is used.

As part of the early team, you'll play a fundamental role in shaping the company - from making strategy and product decisions, to helping scale the team, to shaping the future of AI agents.

Your Focus
  • Own the end-to-end recruiting function: sourcing, outreach, interviewing, coordination, closing.
  • Build a world-class top-of-funnel engine through relentless outbound sourcing, referrals, content, and other creative recruiting tactics
  • Help make the company a magnet for top talent by building a reputation for talent density
  • Track and analyze recruiting metrics (pipeline, offer acceptance rates, time-to-hire) to inform hiring strategies
Ideal Candidate
  • Has recruited strong engineering teams, ideally at high-growth startups or AI / dev tool companies.
  • Proven ability to source, engage, and close standout engineering candidates in competitive markets.
  • Understands technical talent deeply and has strong instincts for evaluating engineering profiles.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Aggressive user of AI tools and automation; always looking for ways to make work more efficient and scalable.
  • Growth mindset
  • Highly organized and reliable.
  • Willing to do whatever it takes to solve a problem.
  • Excited to work closely with leadership and own high-impact work from day one.
  • Must be in person in San Francisco (or willing to move)
