## About the role

We're growing fast and bringing in world-class talent from around the globe, and we're doing it differently than most. That kind of momentum doesn't run itself. We're hiring someone to build the engine behind it: the HR processes, playbooks, and systems that can scale as fast as we do. This is a rare chance to own real scope early. You'll help build and run our core HR functions from the ground up, including onboarding, benefits, compensation, compliance, and employee relations.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years in people operations or HR at a fast-growing startup or tech company
- Solid generalist foundation across core HR: onboarding, benefits administration, compliance, employee relations, and policy
- Practical experience managing US immigration cases (H-1B, O-1, PERM, green cards), including direct coordination with outside counsel
