Born in São Paulo, Rildo played amateur football in his home city until joining Fernandópolis in 2009, helping the club in Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.[1] In the following year, he moved to Ferroviária, but was rarely used.

On 31 January 2014, Rildo joined Santos in a one-year loan deal.[7] He appeared in 22 league matches for the club, scoring one goal, but Peixe opted to not sign him permanently.

On 3 July 2015, Rildo joined fellow top level club Corinthians in a loan deal until December 2016.[8]

On 1 January 2017, Rildo signed with Coritiba.[9] In March 2019, after a period with Vasco da Gama, he moved to Chapecoense.[10]

Rildo subsequently played for Daegu FC, Avaí, Paysandu, São Caetano, and Taubaté, before retiring in 2023.
