About poolside

Poolside is a foundation model company bringing intelligence to everywhere work gets done. Our mission is to drive abundance for humanity by creating artificial general intelligence. Backed by SoftBank VF, Felicis and Redpoint.

About the role

We're looking for an Events Lead to take full ownership of every event poolside touches—the ones we host and the ones we show up to—across the world. From investor moments like Davos to developer activations to revenue-driving conferences we attend, you'll own production end to end: booth, materials, swag, logistics, vendors, and the run-of-show. You'll also be the person who makes sure every poolside team member traveling to an event is organized, briefed, and set up to make an impact.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in event planning and execution, including hands-on experience running conferences, product launches, or activations with large audiences
  • Based in the US, with the operational skill to lead complex, high-stakes events on the ground here like AWS re:Invent or NVIDIA GTC
  • Deeply detail-oriented: run-of-show documents, vendor management, A/V coordination, swag and booth logistics, and traveler prep are where you shine
  • Commercial awareness: you understand how events connect to pipeline, sponsorship value, model adoption, and ROI, and can report on it clearly
  • A strong cross-functional collaborator who can manage external partners and internal stakeholders to a high standard
  • Developer empathy: you ideally know how to design experiences that resonate with technical audiences—engineers, CTOs, and product leaders – and you can partner with marketing and our field engineering team to support their vision

These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research and engineering at scale. They will create powerful economic engines. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this.

poolside exists to be one of these companies - to build a world where AI will drive the majority of economically valuable work and scientific progress.

We believe that software development will be the first major capability in neural networks that reaches human-level intelligence because it's the domain where we can combine Search and Learning approaches the best.

At poolside we believe our applied research needs to culminate in products that are put in the hands of people. Today we focus on...
