Technical Recruiter

Who We Need

We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to help us build an exceptional engineering team at Rillet.You’ll own full-cycle recruiting across Software Engineering, AI/ML, Infrastructure, and Engineering Leadership. You’ll partner closely with engineering leaders to define the bar, build search strategy, hunt for exceptional talent, and close candidates with plenty of options.

We’re looking for someone with exceptional taste in technical talent—someone who can recognize great engineers beyond titles, logos, or resumes and understand what makes them exceptional. You’re also intellectually curious. You’ll learn how Rillet’s product works, the problems our customers face, and what our engineering teams are building so you can recruit with real context rather than simply against a job description. Above all, you’re self-driven and make decisions based on what’s right for the business. You take ownership of searches, challenge assumptions when needed, and don’t lower the bar just to fill a role.

We’re looking for teammates who are based near our New York City or San Francisco offices, or open to relocating. Our hybrid schedule brings the team together in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day each week. Some roles may spend more time in the office depending on the needs of the team.

What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across Engineering, AI/ML, Infrastructure, and Engineering Leadership.

• Partner with engineering leaders to define what exceptional looks like for each search.

• Hunt: map talent markets, identify unusually strong people, and create interest with candidates who aren’t looking.

• Develop a deep understanding of Rillet’s product, customers, and technical challenges.

• Evaluate candidates with context—not just credentials—and help teams make better hiring decisions.

• Build conviction with exceptional candidates and close them in competitive situations.

• Diagnose searches that aren’t working and change the strategy quickly.

• Protect and continuously raise Rillet’s talent bar.

Who We’re Looking For

• Exceptional taste in talent. You know what great technical talent looks like and can articulate why someone is meaningfully better than the alternatives.

• You know how to hunt. You’re resourceful, creative, and persistent in finding people other recruiters miss.

• Intellectual curiosity. You want to understand the technology, product, customer, and business behind the roles you recruit for.

• Self-drive. You take a search from problem to outcome without waiting to be told what to do next.

• Business judgment. You optimize for what Rillet needs, even when that means pushing back, changing direction, or keeping a role open longer to get the right person.

• You know how to engage and close highly sought-after technical candidates.

• You can earn credibility with engineers and executives through strong judgment and direct communication.

The expected base salary range for this role is $160,000–$210,000 in New York City and San Francisco. Final compensation within this range will depend on factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and the scope of the role. This role is also eligible for equity and benefits.
