Neurophos develops photonic AI processing technology that focuses on hardware solutions for accelerating artificial intelligence inference by replacing traditional electronic compute elements with Optical Processing Units (OPUs). Backed by Purple Arch Ventures.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced People Operations leader to own onboarding, benefits, and HR compliance, partnering with our Chief of Staff as we continue to scale rapidly. We have grown 4x in the past 12 months and expect to do that again next year.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of progressive HR or People Operations experience, including at least two years as the primary operational owner
- Built or substantially rebuilt an onboarding program
- Hands-on administration of a modern HRIS, including configuration and reporting. Rippling experience is strongly preferred
- Direct experience with multi-state employment compliance, including state registrations, exempt/non-exempt classification decisions, and I-9 and E-Verify administration
- Direct experience administering benefits, FMLA, ADA accommodations, and state leave programs, including working with third-party leave vendors
- Track record of writing HR policy and handbook language
More about this role
The demand for new data centers and AI compute is rapidly outpacing the planet's energy capacity. Digital solutions are hitting a power wall as we approach the physical limits of traditional silicon. Conquering this bottleneck means rethinking the fundamental architecture of inference compute. The industry's current path can't meet the need, so we're taking a different approach.
Instead of traditional electronic circuits, we use silicon photonics and an active, programmable metasurface to perform matrix multiplications at the speed of light. Our optical cells are 10,000x smaller than traditional photonic components, enabling unprecedented density. By using photonics instead of electricity, our chips become more efficient as they scale. This architecture will deliver up to 100 times the energy efficiency of existing solutions while significantly improving performance for large-scale AI inference.
We’ve assembled a world-class team of industry veterans and recently raised a $110M Series A led by Gates Frontier. Participants include M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, Space Capital, and others.
