HR & Business Support
You keep the day-to-day running and the top of the hiring funnel full. You're the one who spots what's about to need doing and does it, chases down the answer nobody else has time to find, and makes sure problems get caught while they're still easy to fix.
Full disclosure
The way we work is not for everyone. Problems don't come broken down into bite-sized pieces: you'll get real ownership early, sometimes before you feel ready, and from there it's yours to run with. The pace is sustained, and with the company growing exponentially, it won't ease up any time soon.
Better to know in five minutes than to find out in month three. If reading this feels like a no, trust that feeling. If it raises flags, bring them up early, and we'll give you straight answers. If autonomy and high stakes are what you're after, you may have just found the right place to grow.
Who we are
- A deeptech startup of 60 people in Bucharest, building the machine that reads the company world.
- Our customers include the giants of the data world, the same companies you'd expect to be our competitors.
- Founded in 2019, VC-backed. The team stays small on purpose, so decisions stay with the person doing the work.
- Most of the team is technical, founders included. The decisions that shape the company are made by people who understand the low-level work behind it.
- What we run in-house (from our crawlers to our own LLMs) is what several entire companies get built around. Here it's only one team.
Who you are
- You own your work like a founder owns a product.
- A growth mindset, able to capitalize on unprecedented contexts through your skills and abilities.
- A strong problem solver, visible in the way you deal with the tension between brief and shipping.
- Resilient, especially in front of failure, the kind that always comes paired with pioneering work.
- An appetite to grapple with a variety of challenges.
What we do
- Crawl the entire internet and decide, page by page, what matters.
- Interpret everything we find with LLMs we train ourselves, in 125 languages.
- Resolve every source under the company it belongs to, in one living graph of 186M+ companies.
- Trace every datapoint back to the source it came from, so every judgment can be defended.
- Keep the history, so we notice when any one of them changes.
What you'll do
- Run office operations and facilities, and coordinate with vendors and service providers.
- Reach the candidates our hiring depends on, and support the process from first contact to offer.
- Support HR admin, from onboarding and offboarding to time off and the day-to-day.
- Manage the backstage of events, and support the leadership team.
- Research topics as they come up, and source new partners along the way.
What you'll find here
- A technical team that knows the backstage is what lets them do their best work, and treats it that way.
- A company scaling fast enough that the role grows as quickly as you can take it on.
- Founders and colleagues solving problems no one has solved before, a desk away.
- Almost no bureaucracy to fight: the whole point of this role is to keep it that way.
- A young startup already working with customers most people would assume are out of reach.
What we look for
- Experience in office administration or a people-facing role, ideally at a startup or tech company.
- Basic knowledge of HR and admin processes: recruiting, on- and off- boarding, time off, payroll, health and safety.
- Proficient with office, productivity, and AI tools, used with judgment and ownership of the result.
- Written and spoken English, and the communication to coordinate across international teams.
- A "construction site manager" mindset: practical, takes charge, rolls up their sleeves and gets things done.
What we offer
- Fair, market-aligned base, ESOP tied to impact (for permanent roles), and a high salary growth rate tied to performance.
- Decisions that would need three approvals elsewhere are yours to make, and yours to answer for.
- Growth at the pace you can take, and responsibility that expands as fast as you prove you can hold it.
- A learning curve fed by the sheer variety of the work.
- A team that holds itself to everything it asks of you.
What we expect in return
- High tolerance for ambiguity, marked by your ambition to push forward with incomplete information.
- High speed and uncompromising quality in your work.
- The ability to quickly and effectively evaluate tradeoffs and translate them into relevant scenarios
- Genuine aversion to any customer, candidate or colleague struggling with something you delivered.
- Ask what would make it ten times better, starting with your own work.
How we hire
A process built to help both of us decide.
We keep it informal because that's how we actually work. And we take it seriously because one hire can change a company this size. The way we communicate throughout is designed so that either of us can openly say it isn't working, even mid-interview.
- 1Home AssignmentA hands-on problem cut from the real work of this role. You'll know what the job is like before you say yes to it, and so will we.
- 2Team interviewsSessions with the people you would actually work beside, one of which is face-to-face and includes live tasks.
- 3DecisionA yes or a no, typically fast. We do not ghost.
