Do you desire to become a part of a close-knit pack led by SV startup veterans who can accelerate your growth 10X (compared to the corporate trajectory/culture)?
If you’ve answered with 3 resounding "yes", then we want to meet you!
Tasks

- Learn to help us with recruiting (from sourcing to closing top talent)
- Own and improve some internal operations (scheduling, processes, documentation)
- Learn and support people operations and basic HR workflows
- Manage projects and timelines across different functional areas
- Potentially grow into a type of chief-of-staff role, a strategic right-hand to the CEO - sounding board, thought partner, execution engine
Requirements
- 1-5 years of professional experience, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment
- Hands-on experience in at least one of: recruiting, operations, project management, marketing/sales, or business support
- A digital native - comfortable using AI tools, automations, Notion, and modern workflows
- Highly organized, proactive, and execution-focused
- Based in Berlin, available for in-office/hybrid working model

Nice to Have

- Exposure to tech/startup growth, hiring or business operations
- An experimental mindset - test, learn, iterate
Benefits
- Real Equity & Fair Pay: We believe in true partnership. You will get a competitive salary and meaningful equity so your personal upside is tied directly to the company's success.
- Ownership, Not Just Tasks: You won't be lost in a big machine here. You will take full ownership of your projects and help define the future of our Web3 stack.
- Direct Access to Leadership: You are part of the core conversation. You will work side by side with the CEO and founders every day to solve hard problems and set the strategy.
- Inventing the Future: We are building the infrastructure for autonomous AI agents that doesn't exist yet. This is the place for you if you want to do original work instead of maintaining legacy systems.
- Builders Decide: We hate red tape as much as you do. We stay lean and let the people building the product make the decisions that drive the roadmap.
- Remote with Connection: We are remote first but value real face time. We meet monthly in SF and Europe to build momentum together because we know results matter more than counting hours.
Our Hiring Process
We move fast, stay transparent, and focus on real collaboration. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Intro Call – A quick chat to align on expectations, interests, and team fit.
- Technical Deep Dive – A focused conversation with our COS to explore your technical thinking and past work.
- CEO Interview – A strategic discussion around vision, mindset, and long-term alignment.
- Reference Collection – We’ll speak with a few people you’ve worked closely with.
- Paid Trial (~5 Days) – A short, real-world engagement so we can see how we work together — happening in parallel with offer and terms discussion.
Please note:
- As a startup, you can expect a fast-paced environment where extreme ownership is required.
- If you are seeking a traditional corporate 9-to-5 role, this may not be the right fit.
