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 Workplace & Executive Assistant to keep our leadership team and our Santa Cruz office running smoothly. This is a hybrid role. Part of your time will go to supporting five executives — each with different needs and a different level of support — with calendars, travel, logistics, and organization.

- Expert calendar management and the ability to juggle competing priorities with calm and good judgment
- Exceptional organization and attention to detail, with strong follow-through
- Clear, professional, and friendly communication with executives, team members, vendors, and customers
- Discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential information

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...
