Why this role is remarkable

​

• Founding-team impact: Shape the strategic direction and culture of a frontier AI lab from day one alongside a founder with deep expertise in Apple Intelligence and Berkeley AI research.
• Elite Technical Ecosystem: Work at the cutting edge of multimodal RL and post-training infrastructure, moving beyond simple dashboards to build the core systems that define AI agent behavior.
• Career Acceleration: Join with a clear, defined trajectory to transition into the COO role as the company scales its operations and technical team within the SF AI community.

​

What You Will Do

​

• Collaborate with the CEO on high-level research and product strategy, translating complex multimodal RL concepts into actionable business roadmaps and organizational milestones.
• Lead the build-out of the company’s operational foundation, including scaling the hiring pipeline for top-tier researchers and organizing exclusive community events to establish industry presence.
• Manage mission-critical business functions, from coordinating strategic partnerships to overseeing day-to-day operations, ensuring the research team remains focused on hyper-alignment breakthroughs.

​

The ideal candidate

​

• Holds an elite technical degree in Computer Science or Research from a top-tier institution like Stanford, Berkeley, or MIT, with the fluency to engage in deep alignment research discussions.
• Possesses a high-signal network within the San Francisco AI/ML ecosystem and a natural instinct for community building, organizing elite dinners, and attracting world-class talent to the lab.
• Demonstrates exceptional operational judgment and "pull," ideally combining a strong technical background with an MBA or prior experience in a high-growth startup leadership environment.

​

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

​

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

​

How does this work?

​

• Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
• Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
• If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

​

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

​

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

​

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

​

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
