About the role

We’re hiring a Business Operations Manager to own the operational machinery at Goodfire. This is a hands-on role where you will be expected to own any operational problem from 0 to 1. You’ll need a strong technical background to deeply immerse yourself in our business and the generalist adaptability to pick up anything and turn it into a solved problem. If you don’t have direct expertise in machine learning or interpretability you’ll be expected to develop a working understanding quickly.

What they're looking for

  • An experienced operator who’s been through rapid scaling before. You know what breaks when companies grow fast and how to pre-empt issues
  • Detail-oriented and fast-paced. You can move extremely quickly without letting anything slip
  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills. You can translate between technical and non-technical teams effortlessly
  • 4-6+ years of experience in operations, business operations, or a generalist role at an early-stage startup
  • Technical background strongly preferred. CS degree, engineering experience, or demonstrated fluency from working in technical environments
