Job description

One of the most underrated roles in ambitious early-stage companies is the utility player. Matt Cohler at theFacebook, Shakil Kahn at Spotify, Akshay Kothari at Notion. Every legendary company had an early operator who became mission critical by making problems disappear and getting things done. We are looking for that person at Eigen.

Think of the smartest, most resourceful, high-energy person you have ever met. Someone who routinely runs through walls. Someone who takes impossible as an invitation to prove everyone wrong. Over the next 12 months this operator will set the cultural, operational, and administrative foundations of a generational product and institution owning mission critical projects and getting exposure to our board, shareholders, and incredible partners. Those profiles are particularly characterized by:

  • Managing dozens of priorities simultaneously without dropping any of them
  • Closing the loop on everything - nothing falls through the cracks, no one has to follow up twice
  • Learning new domains rapidly and operating in them without needing to be taught
  • Holding an unreasonably high bar for the quality of everything they touch
  • Being someone people genuinely want to be around - personable, interesting, magnetic

Why work at Eigen

  • Culture highlights: Early-stage startup with a mission to reduce social isolation – a deeply human-centric purpose. The team is small (4 people) and values technical excellence.
  • Remote / hybrid policy: Hybrid workspace. Employees are expected to work on-site in San Francisco (typically in-office, but some remote flexibility is implied).
  • Notable perks: Opportunity to work directly with the founder and shape the product from day one. High-impact role in a well-funded seed-stage company with top-tier investors.
