About our client
Our client is a San Francisco AI research lab building novel datasets and running experiments to map the limits and capabilities of today's leading models. Every frontier foundation model lab is a customer. The company recently closed a $30M Series A at a ~$300M valuation . Earlier backers include Y Combinator and BoxGroup, alongside ex-partners from Lightspeed and Index Ventures and senior leaders at Google DeepMind and Meta GenAI. The founding team is a mix of quant, banking, big tech, and AI research operators, with prior stops at Jane Street, Citadel Securities, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Silver Lake, Meta, Google, BAIR, and SAIL.
Role overview
The Strategic Projects Lead will work directly with the founding team on high-priority projects spanning product development, research, and operations. This is an early-hire role with broad scope across the company, suited to a high-ownership operator who wants to be in the room on the most consequential decisions. Annual target compensation is $300K (Base, bonus, equity) . This is not a role to work fewer hours than your current demanding job; it is an opportunity to work hard on meaningful AI problems.
