Feanix Autopilot combines whole-genome sequencing, DairyComp, EZfeed, milk checks, feed costs, health records, and real farm performance data into one prediction engine that prices every cow on your economics — not the industry average. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We're looking for a Senior Business Operations Manager to build and run the internal operational backbone of Feanix as we scale. This is a broad, high-ownership role that blends People Operations & Talent Acquisition with traditional Business Operations. One week you might be running open enrollment, screening candidates for a new role, and tightening up onboarding; the next you might be managing contractors on a laboratory build-out, negotiating benefits or planning the next office. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of experience in business operations, people operations, or a closely related role
- Experience in an early- or growth-stage startup
- A track record of owning complex, multi-stakeholder projects end to end
- Hands-on experience managing contractors, vendors, and landlords, including negotiating contracts and managing change orders
- Working knowledge of US HR compliance, benefits administration, payroll, and multi-state employment
- Experience supporting recruiting — sourcing, screening, interview coordination, or onboarding — ideally in a high-growth environment
More about this role
Feanix is rebuilding animal breeding from the genome up.
We’re a YC-backed startup using whole-genome sequencing and custom ML models to help dairy farmers make better breeding and herd management decisions. Our technology is genuinely novel: we can sequence a full genome from a single hair at a fraction of traditional industry costs, our models achieve ~90% prediction accuracy on traits where existing approaches sit closer to ~30%, and we’re pioneering farm-specific genomic predictions that turn genetics into practical, actionable decisions.
That technology is translating into real adoption. In a short time, we’ve grown to serve roughly 1% of the U.S. dairy industry, with many customers in the pipeline. We started with dairy because our founders grew up on dairy farms and understand firsthand the problems we’re solving. But genetics is foundational to every agricultural industry, and dairy is only the beginning.
We’re building Feanix with a small, high-caliber team where people have meaningful ownership and work end to end. There are no unnecessary layers and very little room for busywork — just difficult problems at the intersection of biology, data, and software that haven’t...
