Staff Technical Recruiter

Staff Technical Recruiter

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is an AI-native ERP that can drive a zero-day close. We are different because of our unified source-of-truth data model, hundreds of best-in-class native integrations (Stripe, Ramp, Salesforce, etc), automated & auditable workflows, multi-entity consolidation, and quickly expanding army of specialized AI agents (e.g., accrual, audit, P&L flux, board decks, etc). These earn us a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. High-growth AI customers like Mercor, and Function Health love our ship velocity, because their financial stack needs to scale as quickly as they do.

This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M from leading investors (including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round) to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Rillet's pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren't in the original plan.

In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customers can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rilleteers love powering the financial core of the world's fastest-growing companies.

We're looking for a Staff Technical Recruiter to help build one of the highest-performing engineering teams in software. Reporting directly to the Head of Recruiting, you'll partner closely with Engineering leadership to identify, attract, and hire the engineers who will shape Rillet's future.

This is a true full-cycle recruiting role. You'll help define what exceptional talent looks like, source and engage candidates, guide hiring teams toward better decisions, and close engineers who raise the talent bar.

Success in this role isn't just about filling roles, it's about consistently hiring engineers who raise the talent bar while helping us become a better recruiting organization.

We're looking for someone with exceptional talent judgment who can consistently source, engage, and close exceptional engineering talent. You're equally comfortable scaling hiring for a growing team, running a highly personalized search for a Staff Engineer, influencing senior stakeholders, or improving the recruiting systems that help us hire better over time.

We're looking for teammates within commutable distance of our NYC or SF offices (or willing to relocate). The team works in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across Software Engineering, AI/ML, Infrastructure, and Engineering Leadershipfrom sourcing and engaging exceptional talent to negotiating offers and closing hires.
• Partner with engineering leaders to define hiring strategy, calibrate what exceptional talent looks like, and influence hiring decisions through market insights, recruiting data, and thoughtful talent judgment.
• Adapt your recruiting approach to the search at hand, balancing high-volume hiring with high-touch searches for Staff Engineers, engineering leaders, and other business-critical hires.
• Build strong relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and executives while navigating complex stakeholder environments.
• Improve how we recruit by strengthening recruiting operations, maintaining data integrity, mentoring teammates, and building processes that scale with the company.

Who We're Looking For

• 7+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, including hiring software engineers, AI/ML talent, and engineering leaders in high-growth technology companies.
• A track record of recruiting across every engineering level, from early-career engineers to Staff Engineers and Engineering Managers.
• Exceptional talent judgment. You know what great engineering talent looks like and can clearly articulate the signals that distinguish exceptional candidates.
• Proven ability to source, engage, and close exceptional engineering talent in competitive markets.
• The ability to adapt your recruiting style to the search in front of you, whether that's scaling hiring for a growing team or running a highly personalized search for a critical hire.
• Strong executive presence, stakeholder management skills, and the ability to influence through data, market insights, and sound judgment.
• A commitment to operational excellence, data integrity, continuous improvement, and helping raise the bar for the recruiting team.
