Mirendil
Mirendil is a tech-first company focused on solving core bottlenecks that unlock step-change acceleration across science and technology. Our first goal is to democratize frontier AI R&D across scientific disciplines. We are building a frontier AI research company and training our own models end-to-end, with a team drawn from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, xAI, OpenAI, Microsoft, Apple, and MIT.
The Role
We're hiring a Technical Chief of Staff who operates as a force multiplier for the founders - someone who turns frontier research into market momentum and keeps a fast-moving company running at full speed. You will own outcomes across go-to-market, operations, and strategy, often being the first (and only) person on a problem until it's solved or scaled.
You'll work directly with the CEO and cofounders on the highest-leverage problems in the company, shifting between strategic and deeply tactical work within the same day.
What You'll Own
Founder leverage. Drive the founders' highest-priority initiatives while providing the day-to-day operational support that keeps them focused on what matters most; preparing for critical partner and investor conversations, coordinating priorities, turning decisions into execution, and handling the details that keep the company moving.
Go-to-market from zero to one. Shape positioning, identify and land early design partners and customers, run pilots end-to-end, and build commercial motion.
Company operating rhythm. Build and run the systems that keep a research-driven company aligned and fast: planning cycles, goal tracking and internal KPIs, internal communications, and cross-team execution.
Special projects. Jump on whatever is most important and least owned - a partnership negotiation, a launch, a market analysis, an operational fire - and drive it to completion.
Who You Are
6-10 years in high-growth tech: Chief of Staff, founder, early startup operator, GTM/BizOps leadership, management consultant, or top-tier strategy roles with an operating track record.
Fluent in the AI landscape: you understand models, the frontier lab ecosystem, and how AI products are built and sold. You can hold your own in technical conversations with researchers.
Proven at zero-to-one GTM: you've taken something new to market and closed early customers or partners, not just supported those who did.
Exceptional written and verbal communicator who can distill ambiguity into crisp decisions and narratives.
Extremely high energy and endurance. This is an intense, all-in role with long hours at a company moving at frontier-lab pace. You thrive on that, and you're at your best when the stakes and tempo are high.
Bias toward action. You default to doing, you're relentlessly resourceful, and nothing is beneath you or above you.
We offer a base salary of $250,000–$400,000 USD and a meaningful equity grant, depending on experience and background, along with competitive benefits.
