About Rune

Rune Technologies builds mission-critical software for military logistics and sustainment. Our flagship product is TyrOS, an AI-enabled logistics command and control platform that gives commanders a single, real-time operating picture of their sustainment fight, from inventory and distribution to medical and operational planning, even in degraded and contested environments.

We're not a traditional defense contractor. We're a small, fast-moving team that combines deep operational experience in and with the DoD with the software discipline of the best product companies, and we apply that combination to a customer set that desperately needs it. We stay close to our users by embedding directly with military units during exercises and rotations, and we ship constantly based on what we learn.

The U.S. military and its allies face a real logistics modernization problem. We're building the software to solve it.

The Role
We are hiring a Technical Recruiter (Talent Partner) to help build the core team that powers Rune's next stage of growth. This is a high-impact, execution-focused role. You will own full-cycle recruiting across technical and mission-critical roles, partnering closely with leadership to bring in exceptional talent. You will not be responsible for sourcing-we have dedicated support for that-so your focus will be on qualification, candidate experience, closing, and driving hiring decisions forward. This is not a sourcing-heavy role-we are looking for someone who excels at assessing, influencing, and closing top talent. This role reports directly to the Head of Talent and is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and takes pride in delivering results.

What You'll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting for 5-6 active roles across engineering, product, and mission-facing functions
- Lead candidate evaluation, interview orchestration, and hiring manager alignment
- Drive candidates from first conversation through offer acceptance with a high bar for quality and speed
- Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers, helping refine role requirements and calibrate talent expectations
- Ensure a high-quality, high-touch candidate experience
- Manage offer processes, including closing and negotiation support
- Track pipeline health using Ashby (or similar ATS)
- Contribute to improving recruiting processes (~20% of role)
- Support onboarding coordination

What We're Looking For
- 2-5+ years of technical recruiting experience
- Proven ability to close high-quality candidates in competitive markets
- Experience recruiting for software engineering or technical roles
- Strong judgment in candidate evaluation
- Ability to manage multiple roles without sacrificing quality
- Excellent communication and influence skills
- High ownership mindset

Nice to Have
- Experience in defense, national security, or clearance environments
- Startup or high-growth company experience
- Familiarity with security-cleared recruiting
What Success Looks Like
- First 90 days: Close 5-6 roles with high-quality hires
- 6-12 months: Sustain ~2 hires per month while maintaining a high bar
- Contribute to improved hiring efficiency and best practices

Why Join Rune
- Work on high-impact, mission-critical problems
- Partner directly with leadership
- Focus on closing great talent-not sourcing volume
- Be part of a high-performing, fast-moving team
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity

Benefits

Rune offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees to include a full suite of insurance options at no cost for employees and low-cost to spouses and dependents. Highly competitive equity grants are also included in the majority of full time offers and are considered part of Rune's total compensation package. Benefits include:
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans; premiums 100% covered by Rune for all employees; exceptionally low premiums for spouses and dependents
  • Basic life insurance and disability 100% covered for all employees by Rune; option to purchase additional life insurance available
  • 'Take the time off that you need, when you need it' paid time off, not accrual based
  • Generous company holiday calendar including a holiday shutdown in December
  • Supportive leave of absence program including time off for military service, medical events, and parental leave
  • Full 401(k) retirement plan for all full-time eligible employees
  • Company-funded commuter benefits
  • Free access to on-site gym at office
