Make Snow. Make Earth Habitable.\nRainmaker builds and deploys audacious technologies that work with nature to create an abundant, habitable planet. We are modernizing proven cloud-seeding science with weather-resistant UAS, radar and satellite observations, numerical weather prediction, novel sensing and validation systems, and sustainable seeding technologies. We are building an integrated system to make more freshwater available to farms, ecosystems, and communities.\nOur 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.\nWe are hiring a Technical Recruiter to help build Rainmaker's technical recruiting engine: the system that hires exceptional technical, scientific, and operational talent with an extraordinary bar of excellence.\nYou 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.\nWhat You'll Do\n\nBuild 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.\n\nReach the people who clear the bar: You will own sourcing strategy and proactive pipeline-building for every critical role, because the people who meet Rainmaker's standard aren’t always the ones applying. Reaching them takes structured target mapping, sharp outreach, and the judgment to tell who is genuinely exceptional.\n\nRun 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.\n\nOwn 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.\n\nProtect 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. Hiring is where Rainmaker's culture is reinforced or eroded, and your most important job is to grow the company without ever lowering the standard that makes it exceptional.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n\n5+ years of experience recruiting in a high-growth company with a track record of building exceptional recruiting operations including its process, systems and standards.\n\nDemonstrated ability to hire hard-to-find talent in competitive markets across multiple domains, including engineering and hardware, science and research, operations, and senior leadership.\n\nDeep 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.\n\nStrong 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.\n\nExceptional 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.\n\nWhat Will Set You Apart\n\nExperience recruiting for technical, scientific, aerospace, robotics, aviation, or similarly complex multidisciplinary organizations.\n\nExperience in an early-stage or founder-led environment moving into a more structured operating company.\n\nExperience designing and running interview systems and interviewer calibration at scale, not just managing individual searches.\n\nWorking knowledge of recruiting analytics and tooling, including ATS, sourcing platforms, funnel and source-quality reporting, and quality-of-hire measurement.\n\nExperience partnering with People, Finance, and hiring managers to connect hiring plans to workforce planning, compensation, onboarding, and manager readiness.\n\nSupporting the Rainmakers behind the mission\nMaking earth more habitable is ambitious work and we want the people doing it to feel supported:\nA stake in what we build: Meaningful stock options and the opportunity to help shape Rainmaker as an early member of the team.\n\nSupport for your health: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family.\n\nAn investment in your future: A 401(k) with employer matching to help you build long-term savings.\n\nTime to recharge: Unlimited PTO for rest, exploration, and the people and pursuits that matter to you plus a generous paid holiday schedule.\n\nTime for a growing family: Paid parental leave for both parents to welcome a child and spend time together.\n\nLunch together: Daily lunch provided at our El Segundo headquarters, giving Rainmakers a chance to share a meal and connect with teammates.\n\nHelp making the move: Relocation assistance for eligible roles to support your transition to Rainmaker.\n\nRainmaker Is An Equal Opportunity Employer\nEmployment decisions are made without regard to any characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local law.\nRainmaker provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities and for other protected reasons as required by law.
