About the role

We’re an audio AI data company serving the best AI research labs in the world. We raised a $5M seed round from Tier 1 investors, and our founding team is ex-Scale AI.

We’re hiring a Founding Operations Lead to help us fuel our next stage of growth. Here’s what you’ll do:

  • Spearhead complex, high-value audio data collection projects
  • Partner with engineering to build breakthrough products and operations infrastructure
  • Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, who are the best researchers at the best AI labs

Does this sound like you

  • Have 2-6 years of experience in startups or similar high-octane roles (e.g., consulting), and an academic degree in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Industrial Engineering)
  • Experience in or passion for AI/ML or audio
  • Extreme ownership mentality – you care about the success of the business as much as you do your work product
  • Perfectionist – you set a higher bar for your own execution than anyone around you would
  • Collaborative team-player, with a ‘yes’-first mentality, willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in on other functions
  • Operational ‘6th sense’ – have an innate intuition for where the bottlenecks are in a process
  • Technical acumen – demonstrated product sense, and proficiency in SQL or Python
  • Ready to grind with us late nights and weekends

We are excited to see

  • Ex-founder
  • Experience with building growth machines that scale (i.e., online ads, funnel optimization)
  • Some experience with software development
  • Fluency in a language other than English

What you’ll work on

  • Lead complex, unprecedented audio data collection projects, for which playbooks don’t exist
  • Bootstrap 0-to-1 problems with operational grit and creativity
  • Scale 1-to-n problems by designing scalable systems and infrastructure
  • Implement AI automations at every level of our operations stack 
  • Own relationships with senior clients
  • Partner with engineering to scope out breakthrough products and solutions
  • Conduct data analysis to inform your and the team’s key decisions
  • Work directly with our CEO and COO every day
