Our ambition is bold but we pursue it with humility. We take on difficult problems in the real world with technical rigor grit integrity and an openness to learning and course-correcting. We are hiring individuals with evidence of exceptional ability. If you want to build systems that endure restore and deliver the future we were promised we want to hear from you.

We are hiring a Technical Recruiter to help build Rainmakers technical recruiting engine: the system that hires exceptional technical scientific and operational talent with an extraordinary bar of excellence.

You will own recruiting end to end: how we source how we run interviews how we make decisions and how candidates experience Rainmaker from first contact to signed offer. You will partner closely with the Head of People leadership and hiring managers but recruiting execution is yours.

What Youll Do

• Build the recruiting engine: You will build the system that enables Rainmaker to hire exceptional people consistently from sourcing and structured interview loops to closing playbooks and the weekly operating review that keeps every search tied to company priorities. The goal is to make hiring fast predictable and disciplined as the company grows so that quality is the reliable output of a system rather than the product of heroics.

• Reach the people who clear the bar: You will own sourcing strategy and proactive pipeline-building for every critical role because the people who meet Rainmakers standard arent always the ones applying. Reaching them takes structured target mapping sharp outreach and the judgment to tell who is genuinely exceptional.

• Run a rigorous evidence-based hiring process: You will design interview loops in which every interviewer owns a clear signal require approved scorecards before sourcing begins and run calibrated debriefs and disciplined closes that win the candidates who matter. Decisions at Rainmaker rest on evidence rather than impressions.

• Own the candidate experience: You will own how every candidate experiences Rainmaker from first contact through signed offer because that experience is one of the clearest expressions of who we are. Even the people we choose not to hire should leave with respect for the company and the seriousness of its work.

• Protect Rainmakers bar and culture: You will be the steward of hiring quality across every search defining what great looks like for each role and holding that line against pressure for speed convenience or headcount. Hiring is where Rainmakers culture is reinforced or eroded and your most important job is to grow the company without ever lowering the standard that makes it exceptional.

What Were Looking For

• 5 years of experience recruiting in a high-growth company with a track record of building exceptional recruiting operations including its process systems and standards.

• Demonstrated ability to hire hard-to-find talent in competitive markets across multiple domains including engineering and hardware science and research operations and senior leadership.

• Deep fluency in structured evidence-based hiring including scorecards signal-owned interview loops and calibrated debriefs with the conviction to hold the standard under pressure for speed or convenience.

• Strong sourcing and closing instincts including proactive pipeline-building for roles where the best candidates are not actively looking and a real feel for reading and managing offer risk.

• Exceptional communication judgment and follow-through with the ability to operate from data and earn trust across technical scientific operational and executive teams while building structure without unnecessary bureaucracy.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience recruiting for technical scientific aerospace robotics aviation or similarly complex multidisciplinary organizations.

• Experience in an early-stage or founder-led environment moving into a more structured operating company.

• Experience designing and running interview systems and interviewer calibration at scale not just managing individual searches.

• Working knowledge of recruiting analytics and tooling including ATS sourcing platforms funnel and source-quality reporting and quality-of-hire measurement.

• Experience partnering with People Finance and hiring managers to connect hiring plans to workforce planning compensation onboarding and manager readiness.
