Small team, huge impact: We recently passed 50 employees and raised a $45 million Series B led by A16Z and Salesforce Ventures. Each new hire has a huge impact on shaping the company's trajectory. Culture of slope over y-intercept: We value learning velocity, grit, and unapologetically unique personalities. We grew in value faster than headcount and we’re looking to align the two quickly.

You'll be responsible for a broad set of functions that today sit with our COO, so the ability to independently prioritize, identify issues early, and drive execution without heavy direction is critical.

Rather than inheriting a large team and established playbook, you’ll help design the processes, controls, and operating rhythms that support the next phase of growth. If you enjoy solving complex operational challenges, building systems from first principles, and taking ownership of outcomes that matter across the entire organization, you’ll have an outsized impact here.
