Job description

FOUNDING GROWTH

Known is a matchmaker that talks to users and supports them like a friend. Our mission is to empower humanity by applying general intelligence to human connection. Users join Known by telling us their life story.

On average, our new users talk to our AI voice agent for 27 minutes, giving us a uniquely intimate context that enables our matchmaking.

We are a team of engineers who’ve created some of the most widely used AI-driven consumer products including Uber Eats, Uber and Afterpay.

We love to work hard, with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. We work together in-person in Cow Hollow, San Francisco.

ARE YOU A GOOD FIT?

We are looking for the top 0.1% operations talent to work alongside our founders in San Francisco as we sprint from our $10M seed round toward launching across the US.

  • 1-4 years of experience in early-stage startups, consulting, investment banking, or a similar high-performance environment
  • A systems-minded operator who embraces ambiguity
  • Strong communicator (written and verbal)

Strong specialty characteristics
