Talent Acquisition Manager
About The Position
Rune connects wasted power to the compute that needs it. Solar plants generate electricity the grid can't take: clipped by inverters, curtailed by operators, gone before it ever reaches a meter. Meanwhile, AI needs more power than new construction can deliver in time. Rune deploys hardware, software, and financial solutions to put this power to work. We build modular micro data centers that install directly at solar sites, bypassing the traditional grid entirely and turning stranded power into compute. We're backed by Spark Capital, Union Square Ventures, and Lowercarbon Capital. You will run full-cycle hiring across all functions, including manufacturing, supply chain, field operations, engineering, and commercial roles. Our ideal candidate brings a clear point of view on how fast-growing startups attract and close exceptional, in-demand talent.
Requirements
- You have personally filled engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, field technician, and/or energy-side roles.
- Experience at a hardware, energy, or manufacturing startup that scaled from a small team to 150+ employees.
- Hands-on ownership of an ATS, including configuration, pipeline hygiene, and reporting.
Nice To Haves
- Direct experience with Polymer ATS is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, site operations, deployment, supply chain and manufacturing, compute sales, power and project finance, and corporate.
- Identify and build strong sourcing channels for each function - this may include outreach to trade schools, apprenticeship programs, contract manufacturers, utilities, EPCs, IPPs, OEMs, and adjacent sectors including traditional data centers, EV, aerospace, and semiconductor fab.
- Define the screening and interview process for each role we hire, to ensure a process where every candidate is evaluated against consistent criteria and each decision reflects a fair, well-rounded view of the candidate.
- Own recruiting operations across the ATS, pipeline reporting, interviewing, and a weekly hiring review.
