We develop and incorporate radar and satellite validation, weather-resistant UAS, weather modeling, and novel sensors and dispersions into an effective precipitation enhancement solution.\nRainmaker is a high-performance research, engineering, and operations company. Our work requires scientific rigor, technical excellence, disciplined execution, and strong cross-functional communication across the cross-functional teams.\nWe are hiring a Senior Recruiter to help build Rainmaker's 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\nBuild the recruiting engine\nYou 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.\nReach the people who clear the bar\nYou 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.\nRun a rigorous, evidence-based hiring process\nYou 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.\nOwn the candidate experience\nYou 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.\nProtect Rainmaker's bar and culture\nYou 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.\nRequired Qualifications\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.\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.\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.\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.\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.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience recruiting for technical, scientific, aerospace, robotics, aviation, or similarly complex multidisciplinary organizations.\nExperience in an early-stage or founder-led environment moving into a more structured operating company.\nExperience designing and running interview systems and interviewer calibration at scale, not just managing individual searches.\nWorking knowledge of recruiting analytics and tooling, including ATS, sourcing platforms, funnel and source-quality reporting, and quality-of-hire measurement.\nExperience partnering with People, Finance, and hiring managers to connect hiring plans to workforce planning, compensation, onboarding, and manager readiness.\nBenefits:\nStock options with high potential upside as an early-stage company\n401(k) with employer matching\nFull health coverage (medical, dental, and vision insurance)\nRelocation assistance provided (if applicable)\nUnlimited PTO\nPaid parental leave for both parents\nLunch provided when working in-office and a fully stocked kitchenette\nFree EV charging at the HQ","company":"Rainmaker Technology","rawCompany":"rainmaker technology","city":"El Segundo","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-06T10:23:17.951Z","occupations":[{"code":"13-1071.00","title":"Human Resources Specialists","slug":"human-resources-specialists"},{"code":"27-2012.04","title":"Talent Directors","slug":"talent-directors"},{"code":"11-3121.00","title":"Human Resources Managers","slug":"human-resources-managers"}],"industries":[{"code":"541715","title":"Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)","slug":"research-and-development-in-the-physical-engineering-and-life-sciences-except-nanotechnology-and-biotechnology"},{"code":"561312","title":"Executive Search Services","slug":"executive-search-services"},{"code":"561311","title":"Employment Placement Agencies","slug":"employment-placement-agencies"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Recruiter","description":"Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to mitigate water scarcity and inclement weather.
