We are feeding the world’s curiosity!

About the Role

We’re not trying to “support R&D.” We’re trying to redefine how R&D works.

Technology is moving fast. AI is reshaping how teams build, think, and deliver. Most companies are reacting. We want to be ahead of it.

We’re looking for a Strategic People Partner who sees People as a system design problem, not a HR checklist. Someone who is deeply curious about AI, how work is evolving, and what high-performance looks like in modern engineering environments.

You’ll operate where technology, behavior, and organizational design collide, helping us build R&D teams that are fast, adaptive, and genuinely great to work in.

What You’ll Do

• Design the next version of R&D: Work with engineering and product leaders to rethink org structures, team topology, and ways of working in an AI-accelerated world.

• Cut through the AI noise: Translate “AI will change everything” into actual decisions: roles, skills, productivity, team composition. No fluff, just impact.

• Rebuild People products for speed: Performance, hiring, onboarding, merit, talent… take what exists and make it work for builders. Less bureaucracy, more signal. If it slows teams down, it’s broken.

• Bridge strategy and reality:Zoom out to define where we’re going. Zoom in to make sure it actually happens. No patience for strategies that live in slides.

• Build teams for what’s next: Identify future capabilities early and make sure we have the talent to match. Not when it’s obvious, but before.

• Upgrade leadership: Help leaders operate in ambiguity, make better decisions faster, and build teams that don’t burn out or slow down.

• Protect what makes us human: As AI scales, double down on judgment, creativity, trust, and collaboration. The stuff that actually differentiates teams.

• Use data, but think: Bring strong insights into decisions, but don’t hide behind dashboards when judgment is required.

What you'll bring to the role:

• You’ve worked closely with R&D / engineering teams and get how things really happen

• You’ve been part of meaningful transformation (not just polishing existing processes)

• You’re comfortable tearing down and rebuilding core HR systems when they don’t fit

• You’re genuinely curious about AI and the future of work (not just repeating headlines)

• You’re proactive, sharp, and opinionated—you don’t wait to be asked

• You’re comfortable in messy, fast-moving environments where clarity comes late

• You believe People is a core driver of business performance, not a support layer
