The University OS: every student, course, dollar, and donor on one record, Risely's agents drafting in every office, and staff approving every move. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You'll work directly with the founders to support and manage the company behind the scenes. The job is to take the messy operational reality of an early-stage startup and turn it into something that actually functions. Anything that needs an owner becomes yours until someone else picks it up.
What they're looking for
- Master of your own time. You'll have ten things going at once and that feels normal. You prioritize ruthlessly, switch context fast, and protect time for the work that actually matters
- You actually build. Python, SQL, APIs, scripts that run nightly. You've shipped real code before and you use it every day
- AI-native. You've built something real with Claude or Cursor and have opinions on where agents add leverage and where they don't
- Sharp writer. Memos, recaps, internal docs, customer emails. People understand what you mean and act on it
- Naturally organized. You take notes that you can find later. Things you commit to get done

Risely is building the agentic operating system for universities. We're live at some of the largest universities in the country and growing fast.
You'll work directly with the founders to support and manage the company behind the scenes. The job is to take the messy operational reality of an early-stage startup and turn it into something that actually functions. Anything that needs an owner becomes yours until someone else picks it up.
Think of yourself as the operating system of the company. The founders are doing customer calls, hiring, fundraising, and product. You're making sure everything else moves: the internal processes, the data, the tools, the follow-ups, the projects in flight, the things that would otherwise slip.
- Morning: tighten up the financial model
- Midday: build a Claude Code agent that enriches a CRM list
- Afternoon: sit in on a customer call, take notes, own the follow-ups
- Evening: clean up a hiring pipeline with agents
The next day looks completely different. The pace is hours and days. You should be the kind of person who, by 11am, has already finished two things and started a third.
