Job Description

Rigetti is building the world’s most powerful computers to solve humanity’s most important problems. Our teams bring together expertise across quantum physics, engineering, fabrication, software, and operations, and our ability to grow and develop technical talent is critical to our mission.

We are looking for a Junior Recruiter to support our recruiting operations while developing long-term ownership of University and Early Career hiring. This role is well-suited for a recruiter who thrives in structured execution, enjoys working with deeply technical teams and is motivated to learn and grow in a highly specialized environment.

This role includes periodic travel to support university outreach, career fairs, and early-career recruiting events aligned with Rigetti’s technical hiring needs.

Role Summary

This role focuses on reliable execution, operational excellence, and skill development. The recruiter will work under the guidance of senior recruiters and leadership while independently owning defined recruiting activities and workflows, with increasing scope over time. The role requires strong attention to detail, effective communication, and a growing understanding of Rigetti’s technical domains.

In the near term, this role will provide hands-on support for scheduling, ATS management, and recruiting coordination. Over time, the recruiter will assume increased responsibility for University and Early Career recruiting programs, including intern and new-graduate hiring aligned with Rigetti’s long-term talent strategy.
