Job description

A role with this title typically asks for deep ownership of global equity programs: plan design and administration, grant and vesting processes, cap table accuracy, and the controls and systems that keep everything audit ready. A strong candidate brings hands on experience running equity end to end at a growing company, works well with finance, legal and people teams, and can build repeatable processes rather than patch them. At a cloud inference platform serving AI developers, that means keeping equity operations steady while headcount and complexity grow.

How it fits the AI era

Equity administration is already tool heavy, and AI is shifting the work from manual reconciliation toward reviewing and improving automated outputs. The judgment stays human: plan design choices, compliance calls, and explaining equity clearly to employees and leaders. The role becomes less about processing and more about designing controls that hold up as the company scales.

How it builds AI experience

This role builds AI experience indirectly, through working with equity and cap table platforms that increasingly use automation and anomaly detection. A candidate can strengthen that by learning how equity systems handle data validation and reporting, and by getting comfortable auditing automated outputs. Understanding how AI companies grow and hire fast also helps, since equity volume and complexity rise with them.

Worth showing

• Global equity administration
• Cap table accuracy
• Grant and vesting controls
• Audit ready processes
• Cross team collaboration
