About the role

We’re looking for a Recruiter to be a founding force on our Talent team — someone who can:

• Source, engage, and close top talent with a hunter’s mindset and an artist’s creativity.
• Build genuine, long-term relationships with candidates — not just for open roles today, but for the ones we’ll create tomorrow.
• Craft outreach that adapts to every candidate — balancing high-powered persuasion with deep authenticity.
• Be autonomous, proactive, and inventive — developing new sourcing strategies, channels, and systems from scratch.
• Build bonds with candidates that show why Railway is different — valuing them, inspiring them, and elevating us above the noise.
• Champion the candidate experience at every stage — building trust and transparency while moving with high urgency.

This is a high-impact, high-agency role that will directly shape Railway’s next chapters — both who we hire and how we hire.

About you

• A true sourcer at heart — you get energy from finding the people no one else does.
• You think like a sales pro — tailoring your approach to every candidate and constantly iterating to land the best people.
• You have the work ethic, intensity, and self-direction of someone who treats recruiting like a craft, not a checklist.
• You care deeply about candidate experience — building bonds based on honesty, energy, and respect.
• You’re creative and autonomous — you don't just execute playbooks, you write new ones.
• You’re excited to grow with a high-velocity, high-trust team doing the most energizing work of our lives.

For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.

• We're distributed ALL across the globe, and that's only going to be more and more distributed. As a result, stuff is ALWAYS happening.
• We do NOT expect you to work all the time, but you'll have to be diligent about your boundaries because the end of your day may overlap with the start of someone else's.
• We're a small team, with high ownership, who are not only passionate about what we do, but seek to be exceptional as well. At the time of writing we're 21, serving hundreds of thousands of users. There's a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of ambiguity.
• We want you to own it. We believe that ownership is a key to growth, and part of that growth is not only being able to make the choices, but owning the success, or failure, that comes with those choices.

Benefits and perks

At Railway, we provide best in class benefits. Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, strong equity grants, equipment stipend, and much more.

Beyond compensation, there are a few things that we believe that make working at Railway truly unique:

• Autonomy: We have very few meetings. Just a Monday and a Friday to go over the Company Board. We think your time is sacred, whether it's at work, or outside of work.
• Ownership: We're a company with a high ownership, high autonomy culture. We hope that you'll come in, help us, and over the course of many years do the best work of your life. When we bring you onboard, we expect you to change the company.
• Novel problems/solutions: We're a startup that's well funded, with cool problems, which lets us implement novel solutions! We abhor “busywork” and think, whether it's community, engineering, operations, etc there's always opportunity for creative and high leverage solutions.
• Growth: We want you to grow with us, but we know that talent is loaned, so when you figure out what area you want to grow in next, whether it's at Railway or outside, we'll make sure you land there.
