AI product specialists for equipment manufacturers. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
This role sits on top of all of it. You keep the operating layer clean enough that the founders can trust the system instead of reconstructing reality from memory. You cannot do the same thing twice without immediately wanting to eliminate the second time it happens. Not from laziness -- because repetition feels like a design failure.
What they're looking for
- ⊹ comfortable with tools -- Google Workspace, Slack, Ashby, Attio, Linear, spreadsheets, calendar systems, HR tools, and AI tools
- ⊹ fast learner -- productive in a new system within days
- ⊹ strong writer -- natural voice, clean formatting, drafts that don't need editing
- ⊹ taste -- output that looks rough or reads like a bot bothers you
- ⊹ systems thinker -- sees a recurring task as a design flaw, not a to-do item
- ⊹ operationally obsessive -- calendars, inboxes, docs, vendors, candidate flows, event plans, and reminders stay current
More about this role
Executive Assistant & Operations at a YC-backed AI startup. $100K-$120K. In-person SF.
Prox is the AI product assistant for manufacturers. We turn a manufacturer's manuals, service docs, parts catalogs, fitment tables, training videos, support history, and senior-tech tribal knowledge into one product expert that can answer questions, cite the exact source page, and generate the right artifact when text is not enough.
The assistant helps customers, dealers, sales teams, support reps, field techs, and internal teams choose the right product, install it correctly, troubleshoot it, service it, compare variants, build quotes, and understand what the manufacturer already knows.
We work with manufacturers whose products are too specific for generic chatbots: pro AV and live-production systems, camera and lighting equipment, construction products and formwork, material-handling equipment, HVAC and heat exchangers, commercial foodservice equipment, industrial cleaning machines, powersports, marine, and outdoor power.
Backed by Y Combinator, Bloomberg Beta, Paul Graham, SV Angel, Burst Capital, and more. Two founders now, hiring toward five.
We run the company through a very high-context...
