From the PyTorch Lightning creators. Own your AI, don. Backed by Index.
About the role
In one sentence: build, ship and administer People workflows, systems and solutions that make Lightning run better. This is the core of the role. Own day-to-day People Operations administration across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, employee changes, HRIS updates, documentation, and employee data management.
What they're looking for
- A demonstrated People Operations specialist with strong product instincts and real experience building secure automated solutions for historically manual tasks:
- Experience with people data, business systems, analytics platforms, or enterprise data infrastructure (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, SQL, Excel)
- Deep familiarity with HRIS and / or ATS platforms (Rippling, Greenhouse, Ashby, or similar), as a builder or through close partnership with People teams
- Experience designing secure systems with role-based access control and data permissioning
- Strong product instincts. You think end to end, ask why, and care whether the thing actually gets used
- Excellent stakeholder management and demonstrated cross functional partnership with Finance, Legal, and IT. You can turn a multi-team operational mess into a technical solution without needing a roadmap handed to you
More about this role
Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.
Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.
We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.
The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.
- Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company...
