About Linero
Linero is building the operational infrastructure that ensures the world's most sensitive technologies reach the right hands, and never the wrong ones.
Our customers include some of the most consequential companies in the world: leading AI labs, aerospace and defense primes, semiconductor giants, quantum computing pioneers, and companies pushing the frontier in chemicals, advanced manufacturing, and robotics.
We are an AI-native, venture-backed company creating a new category of software at the intersection of national security, industrial infrastructure, and enterprise AI.
The Role
The Operations Associate at Linero will work across the company on a constantly evolving set of priorities, helping the team move faster and execute at an exceptionally high level.
This is a highly hands-on role for someone early in their career who is ambitious, resourceful, and energized by getting things done. You will take on projects across recruiting, operations, research, and other areas of the business, often jumping into problems that do not yet have a clear owner or playbook.
The scope of the role will evolve quickly as Linero grows. At different points, you may spend the majority of your time focused on a single company priority, while at others you will work across several initiatives simultaneously. You should be excited by that ambiguity rather than looking for a narrowly defined lane.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to develop an unusually broad understanding of how an early-stage company is built while working closely with Linero's leadership team.

Exceptional work ethic and willingness to do whatever is required to get the job done
Extremely organized, reliable, and detail-oriented

Strong written and verbal communication
Comfortable with rapid context switching, changing priorities, and ambiguity
A bias for action — you would rather take ownership and make progress than wait for perfect instructions
High standards for your own work and strong attention to detail
Low ego and a willingness to take on both large projects and unglamorous tasks
Intellectually curious and eager to learn quickly
Highly comfortable with AI tools and excited to find new ways to use them in day-to-day work
