Summary Generated by Built In


We’re the makers of Poke.com, a proactive AI agent for everyday life. Interaction is a $300M consumer company backed by $27M from General Catalyst and angels such as Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Scott Wu (Cognition), Patrick and John Collison (Stripe), Fred Ehrsam (Coinbase), Ken Howery (Co-Founder of PayPal and Founders Fund), and many others.

The Context

For the last year, our core engineering team has built this entire agent platform from the ground up. Now, usage is scaling by orders of magnitude and the way we operate has to scale alongside it: the workflows, the systems, the processes a company moving at this pace needs. We are looking for someone with experience at a fast-paced, scaling startup to come in and drive that work.

The Role

You take the operational work currently spread across founders and busy operators and turn it into something coherent. You go deep in at least one of these areas:

  • Operating leverage: Designing workflows, processes, and tooling that let the company run faster without adding headcount.

  • Function building: Taking an operational area that has grown ad hoc and turning it into a real system. The work that runs the company outside of product and growth.

  • Project ownership: Owning the multi-person projects that do not have a clear home and running them end to end.

  • Founder leverage: Pre-thinking, prep, and follow-through for founders on strategic work. The kind of partnership that makes them more effective at their actual job.

What we're looking for

  • Track record. You have run projects end to end and can show what they produced. Founder, early operator at a fast-growing company, CoS, or someone who has shipped real strategic work in the past. Ideally someone with experience in IB or consulting.

  • Bias to action. You ship outcomes, not memos. You do not escalate problems, you solve them.

  • Low ego. The talent bar is high, but no important problem is beneath us.

Something Else

Send us the project you are most proud of running end to end. What did you start with, what did you build, and what did it produce? If you have ever been a founder, tell us what you learned the hard way.

Skills Required

  • Experience in project management at a fast-paced startup
  • History of leading multi-person projects end to end
  • Ability to design efficient workflows and processes
  • Experience working closely with founders or in operational roles
