ppbAbout HappyRobot /b HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don’t just communicate — they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across voice, email, and enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z and Base10 with over $60M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide. Our platform is battle‑tested in the most demanding environments where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy. Learn more about our vision in our manifesto. /p h3Role Overview /h3 pWe are looking for a Product Operations Engineer to act as the operational backbone of our product organization. You’ll work directly with the CTO and Head of Product. This is a role for a high‑output technical individual contributor who loves discipline, structure, and execution. At HappyRobot, you will sit at the critical intersection of four key functions: Product Engineering, Deployments, Go‑To‑Market, and Operations. You are the connective tissue that ensures these teams are not just co‑existing, but synchronized. You will be a generalist execution machine, deployed to solve the most important problems blocking our velocity—whether that means refining data pipelines, structuring pricing models, or managing complex deployment logistics. /p h3Key Responsibilities /h3 ul liThe Bridge to Deployments: act as the primary link between the Product Engineering team and the Deployment team, ensuring the Deployment team is enabled on new features, overseeing the technical feedback loop from the field back to engineering, and guaranteeing new releases are successfully brought to market. /li liGTM Commercial Enablement: partner with GTM to drive technical enablement, support Product‑Led Sales motions, and refine feature pricing structures. You ensure the commercial side understands the technical reality and value of what we are shipping. /li liMetrics Measurement: work alongside Engineering and Strategy Ops to define and track product and company metrics, getting your hands dirty with raw data to ensure we are optimizing for the right outcomes. /li liData Labeling Operations: manage the human element of our agentic stack across voice, reasoning, and coding agents, owning the coordination of in‑house labelers and external agencies to ensure high‑quality training data throughput. /li /ul h3Who You Are /h3 ul liA Technical Operator: you possess a rare mix of technical literacy (understanding APIs, data structures, and engineering constraints) and operational rigor, identifying broken processes and fixing them. /li liA Cross‑Functional Translator: you can speak the language of engineers, salespeople, and operations managers, aligning distinct teams toward a single objective. /li liDisciplined Systems‑Oriented: you find satisfaction in order, creating documentation, building dashboards, and setting up automation that prevents future fires. /li liDriven by Impact: you are a “fixer,” happy to jump into spreadsheets, code editors, or strategy meetings to solve problems. /li /ul h3Requirements /h3 ul li3+ years of experience in a technical or operations‑heavy role (Product Operations, Solutions Engineering, Technology Strategy Consulting, Technical Program Management, or Forward Deployed Engineering). /li liStrong analytical technical aptitude—able to solve problems with technology. /li liExperience working in a multi‑stakeholder environment, specifically interfacing between Engineering and Commercial/Field teams. /li liAbility to balance big‑picture strategic work (pricing, analysis) with in‑the‑weeds execution (data labeling coordination for RLHF, deployment coordination). /li /ul h3Why join us? /h3 ul liOpportunity to work at a high‑growth AI startup backed by top investors. /li liOwnership Autonomy—take full ownership of projects and ship fast. /li liTop‑Tier Compensation—competitive salary + equity in a high‑growth startup. /li liComprehensive Benefits—healthcare, dental, vision coverage. /li liWork With the Best—join a world‑class team of engineers and builders. /li /ul h3Our Operating Principles /h3 pExtreme Ownership: take full responsibility for our work, outcomes, and team success. No excuses, no blame‑shifting — if something needs fixing, we own it and make it better. /p pCraftsmanship: putting care and intention into every task, striving for excellence, and taking deep ownership of quality. /p pWe are “majos”: be friendly, have fun, be genuine, honest, and kind. We give feedback kindly, challenge each other with respect, and celebrate wins together without ego. /p pUrgency with Focus: create the highest impact in the shortest amount of time, moving fast but with direction—prioritizing ruthlessly, acting decisively, and staying aligned. /p pTalent Density and Meritocracy: hire only people who can raise the average; exceptional performance is the passing grade. Ability trumps seniority. /p pFirst‑Principles Thinking: strip a problem to physics‑level facts, rebuild solutions from scratch, and innovate beyond industry dogma. /p pThe personal data provided in your application and during the selection process will be processed by Happyrobot, Inc., acting as Data Controller.
