Location: Most roles are based in San Francisco or New York, with some flexibility for remote depending on the company and role.
Don't see your role posted?
We're always looking for exceptional people. If you don't see a role that fits but believe you'd thrive at a high-growth AI or early-stage b2b/enterprise software company, we want to hear from you.
Our portfolio companies are building products that transform industries – from AI-powered legal research to autonomous insurance operations to next-generation developer tools. We look for people who are builders at heart: those who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about craft.
This is not a general application that goes into a black hole. Our talent team actively reviews submissions and matches exceptional candidates with opportunities across the portfolio as they emerge. Many of our best placements have come from people who reached out before a role was posted.
