Job summary

Rainmaker is seeking a Technical Recruiter to build and run our end-to-end technical hiring engine in El Segundo. You will own sourcing, interviewing, decisioning, and candidate experience, partnering with the Head of People and hiring managers to scale exceptional talent for engineering, hardware, science and operations.

This role emphasizes rigorous, evidence-based processes, calibrated scorecards, and a culture that values humility, integrity, and impact.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Reach the people who clear the bar: You will own sourcing strategy and proactive pipeline-building for every critical role.
• 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.
• Own the candidate experience: You will own how every candidate experiences Rainmaker, from first contact through signed offer.
• Protect Rainmaker's 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.
