About Reflection AI

Make intelligence open and accessible to all. Backed by Battery, Lightspeed and Sequoia.

About the role

Data is playing an increasingly crucial role at the frontier of AI innovation. Many of the most meaningful advances in recent years have come not from new architectures, but from better data. In this role, what you build and the partnerships you create will directly shape how our models perform on critical capabilities — agentic tool use, long-horizon reasoning and robust safety alignment. You'll work with world-class researchers advancing the frontier of AI to design our data strategy and deliver it.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience in business operations, strategy, venture capital, private equity or consulting. We will also consider high-trajectory candidates with fewer years of experience and an exceptional track record – often former tech startup founders
  • Have owned large ambiguous problems end-to-end and can break them down into clear actionable plans
  • Are comfortable engaging senior leaders, influencing decisions and driving alignment across teams
  • Thrive in fast-moving, high-pressure environments, bringing resourcefulness, adaptability and ideally a sense of humor to pair with the sense of urgency
  • Are highly analytical with strong intuition for what are the important questions, rigorous in investigating and clear in communicating insights to decision-makers
  • Have experience with data analysis tools such as SQL, Python, Tableau, Excel or similar
