Descrizione del lavoro

Beam is an ultrafast AI inference platform. We built a serverless runtime that launches GPU-backed containers in under a second and scales out to thousands of GPUs. Developers use Beam to serve apps to millions of users around the globe. We’re backed by Y Combinator, Tiger Global, and prominent developer-tool founders, including the founder of Snyk and the former CTO of GitHub.

About The Role

We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to be the right hand to our founding team. You’ll take over a lot of what the CEO does today and own it end to end. You’ll see every part of a fast-growing infrastructure company, and the role will grow as fast as you do.

What You’ll Do

• Run data center operations. Bring new capacity online, track SLAs, and chase issues down until they’re resolved.
• Support customers. Be a point of contact for key accounts, coordinate onboarding, and handle escalations.
• Manage contracts and partners. Do first-pass review of NDAs, MSAs and partner agreements, work through redlines with counsel, and get them signed.
• Secure hardware supply. Source hardware, negotiate with data centers and capacity partners, and move deals from first call to signed contract.
• Drive company-wide projects. This includes compliance, pricing, launches, and the internal processes that keep us moving fast.
• Support fundraising and investor relations. Draft investor updates, maintain data rooms, and prep for board meetings.
• Give the CEO leverage. Prep for meetings, follow up after them, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Skills & Experience

• Extreme attention to detail
• You take ownership of mission-critical projects end to end without needing to be managed
• 3–5 years in a high-ownership role, such as an early-stage startup, operations, BizOps, consulting, banking, or a technical role you’ve outgrown
• Strong writer and confident negotiator with partners and vendors
• Technical enough to talk credibly about GPUs, cloud infrastructure, and developer tools (an engineering background is a plus but not required)
• Thrive with ambiguity and fast-shifting priorities
• Excited to work closely with customers and partners

Nice to have

• Experience with data centers, hardware procurement, or cloud infrastructure
• Comfort reading contracts and structuring deals
• Previous experience at a YC or venture-backed startup

Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Join a fast-growing pre-Series A company on the ground floor
• Health, dental, and vision benefits with 90% coverage for you and 50% for dependents
• Opportunities to represent Beam at events across the AI and cloud infrastructure community
• Fitness stipend, learning budget, and much, much more
