- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-10-30
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-11-03

## Job description

## About Factory

Our mission is to create a world where software builds and improves itself.

We build the platform for self-improving software development, helping the world's largest enterprise engineering teams turn their organizations into autonomous software factories. Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.

In 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).

## About the role

We are seeking a highly organized and execution-oriented professional to join our Executive Operations Team. In this role, you will be the right hand to our COO and will work closely with the CEO’s Executive Operations Partner. This is a dynamic role in a high agency environment that requires swift and pragmatic decision making, an ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships, and a hunger to build as Factory scales rapidly. As an early member of the ExecOps team, you will help define what operational excellence looks like and become a deeply embedded partner with your respective teams. This role will initially provide dedicated support to the COO. As the business grows and additional senior leaders join, the role may expand to support one additional executive, with the COO remaining your primary executive.

What you will do and achieve:

- Act as a strategic force multiplier for the leadership team, building deep business context and applying sound judgment to keep priorities moving.
- Approach problems with an ownership mindset, coming with a recommendation and seeking alignment rather than answers when issues arise.
- Stand up and continuously improve new processes as Factory scales, raising the bar on how the company operates day to day.
- Build strong cross-functional relationships, staying informed on what's happening on the ground and serving as a trusted point of contact for peers and leaders.
- Operate as a gate opener rather than a gatekeeper, ensuring teams know they can come to you and leaders stay accessible rather than walled off.
- Own end-to-end interactions with candidates, customers, investors, and board members, ensuring communications are prompt and polished.
- Plan and coordinate logistics for high-stakes meetings, trips, and events, ensuring they are well-prepared and run smoothly.
- Own the core operational competencies for each of your leaders including calendars, travel, meeting prep, expenses, and logistics.

## Qualifications

- Extremely organized and accountable; skilled at managing multiple competing priorities.
- Proactive; you identify gaps, conflicts, and risks before they become issues.
- Highly responsive; comfortable with regular text communication and quick decision-making.
- Detail-oriented with exceptional accuracy and follow-through.
- A confident communicator who represents leadership with professionalism and discretion.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, autonomy, and scaling systems in a startup environment.
- Tech-savvy with proficiency in Slack, Notion, CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce), Ramp, and other productivity tools.

## Nice to have

- Prior experience supporting C-level executives or founders.
- Startup, tech, or AI industry exposure.
- Experience at Series B, Series C, or growth-stage companies.

## About Factory

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Factory is an AI research lab building autonomous software development agents ("Droids") to automate and optimize the entire software development lifecycle.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Matan Grinberg (CEO & Co-Founder), Eno Reyes (CTO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Artificial Intelligence, Software Development, Autonomous Agents
- Target customers: Enterprise engineering organizations (B2B)
- Mission or purpose statement: "Bring Autonomy to Software Engineering"

## Products & Services
- **[Droid]**: An autonomous software development agent that performs real engineering work across IDEs, CLI, and CI/CD environments. Handles refactors, migrations, debugging, incident response, and feature development in large codebases. Operates through a model-agnostic architecture and supports long-running processes, structured planning, and verified outputs such as PRs and deployments.
- **[Factory Router]**: A product that automatically selects the right AI model for each coding task, cutting costs 20-25% while maintaining frontier model performance.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: $1.5 billion (as of early 2026, per Series C announcement) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/factory-2)
- **Total Funding**: $220M [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/factory-2)
- **Latest Funding Round**: $150M Series C (raised ~2 months ago as of July 2026) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/factory-2)
- **Notable Investors**: Sequoia Capital, Lux Capital, NEA, Abstract, MANTIS Venture Capital, 20VC [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/factory-2). Board members include AI veteran Lila Tretikov (NEA Partner) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/factory-2).
- **Notable Customers**: NVIDIA, Morgan Stanley, EY, Palo Alto Networks, RBC, Revolut, Adobe, MongoDB [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/factory-2)
- **Notable Advisors**: Ali Ghodsi (CEO & Co-founder, Databricks), Aaron Levie (CEO, Box), Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Nikesh Arora (CEO, Palo Alto Networks), Frank Slootman (Former CEO, Snowflake), Michael Ovitz (Co-founder, CAA) [factory.ai](https://factory.ai/company)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Model-Agnostic Architecture**: Factory's Droids are not tied to a single AI model, allowing them to use the best model for each task and switch as the landscape evolves. The Factory Router product further optimizes cost and performance by intelligently routing tasks.
- **Deep Integration**: Agents work natively within existing developer tools (IDEs, CLI, CI/CD), meaning teams don't need to change their workflows to adopt Factory.
- **Enterprise-First Focus**: The company is building for large-scale engineering operations with production-grade reliability, security, and control, as evidenced by their customer list (NVIDIA, Morgan Stanley, etc.).
- **Top-Tier Talent & Advisory**: The team hails from companies like Nuro, Glean, Applied Intuition, Scale AI, MongoDB, and Sourcegraph, and is advised by some of the most prominent leaders in enterprise software.
- **Strong Backing**: Backed by top-tier venture capital firms (Sequoia, Lux, NEA) with a $1.5B valuation, providing significant resources and credibility.

## Strategic Focus
- **Enterprise Hyper-Growth**: Scaling go-to-market with the appointment of a seasoned CRO to drive adoption among large enterprises.
- **Agent-Native Development**: Championing the shift from AI-assisted coding to fully autonomous agents that own and execute complex engineering tasks.
- **Cost Optimization**: Products like Factory Router demonstrate a focus on making AI-powered development cost-effective at scale.
- **Platform Ownership**: Enabling enterprises to own their "software factory" with a flexible, model-agnostic platform.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: The opportunity to "Build the tool you've always dreamed of using" and shape the next era of software engineering [factory.ai](https://factory.ai/).
- **Talent Density**: The company emphasizes being a "lean and talent-dense team" that values ownership and autonomy [factory.ai](https://factory.ai/).
- **On-Site Culture**: Employees work from physical offices five days a week, fostering deep collaboration. Offices are in San Francisco, CA; New York, NY; and London, England [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/factory-factoryai).
