Jobbeschreibung

The companythe company turns company data into training data for AI agents.

Frontier labs can train models to reason. They cannot train them to work: navigating a real company's Slack threads, half-finished Notion docs, contradictory Jira tickets, and permission boundaries. That requires real enterprise data, and you cannot synthesize it. You have to source it.

We plug into enterprise tools, anonymize everything into a structurally identical digital twin, and generate reinforcement-learning environments with expert-level tasks calibrated against frontier models. Three weeks from raw company data to an RL-ready environment, three times faster than at launch.

We are a Y Combinator company with signed contracts with three frontier AI labs, and we are scaling delivery aggressively over the next twelve months. Three founders, full-time since December 2025: Pierre-Louis (CEO, ex-COO in edtech, sold data to frontier labs), Grégoire (CPO, first PM at Epsor through Series B), Thomas (CTO, ex-Head of Data at PayLead, ex-Samsung AI lab).

Why this role exists

The three of us are the bottleneck.

• Run analyses, investigate new opportunities, launch initiatives, or solve temporary problems.
• Often operates as a temporary project owner until a permanent owner is appointed.

Operating cadence

• Build the company's operating rhythm: help orchestrate OKRs, quarterly planning, board preparation, etc.
• Ensure decisions made at the top actually propagate through the organization.

• Track decisions, owners, deadlines, and unresolved issues.
• Surface disagreements or bottlenecks to the CEO.

Special situations

• Fundraising preparation, board materials, M&A or partnerships.
• Hiring key executives, organizational changes, new vertical launches.
