About Us We are a stealth-stage fund and tech startup operating at the intersection of alternative markets and quantitative strategy. Backed by experienced operators and growing quickly, we are building the infrastructure to scale a high-performance, data-driven business. We have found something that works. What we have not yet built is the machine that runs it at ten times the current volume, and the founder is currently the machine. The Role Every department in this company reports to the founder today. That is why this role exists. As COO you own the internal engine end to end: how work enters the business, how it moves through delivery, and whether it comes out the other side at the quality we promised. The founder moves to strategy, capital and external growth. You take everything else. This is not a caretaker role for a machine that already runs. Several of the departments you will own do not have a manual, a metric or in some cases a manager. You are being hired to build those, in order, while the current volume keeps flowing. What You'll Do Take the operating load. Become the person the company runs through, so the founder is not the escalation point for eight departments. Own throughput and the quality that comes with it. We need to multiply the number of people we take through our delivery pipeline each week without the failure rate rising. Both halves of that sentence are the job. Build the operating cadence. A weekly meeting structure with real accountability, quarterly goals with named owners, and a company scorecard of eight to twelve numbers. Most of those numbers do not exist yet. You will define them and then make them true. Write the operating manual. We have almost no documented processes. You will map the core ones, get them written down, and cut how long it takes a new hire to become useful. Make quality measurable. Nothing in the business currently logs mistakes. You will change that across delivery, support and review, and use what it tells you. Consolidate the tooling. Real-time visibility of the whole business in one place, rather than the several disconnected systems people half-trust today. Hire and keep operators. Several senior seats are open and more are coming. The quality of the people underneath you is the ceiling on everything above. Open new markets. Two geographic expansions are in flight. The blocker on both is operational, not technical.

We sell motivated seller leads with no subscriptions and no contracts. Bootstrapped, profitable, $15M+ ARR, ~50 people across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the US. We move fast, we measure everything, and we are building for a much bigger outcome. Why this role exists The CEO is doing two jobs: setting strategy and running day-to-day operations. Your job is to take the second one and run it better than he does. You own execution across the whole company so the CEO can focus on product vision, new verticals, and growth bets. What you will own • The operating system of the company: department goals, KPIs, weekly scoreboards, and accountability across Supply, Demand, and Marketplace teams • Department heads: run their cadence, remove blockers, make sure every leader hits their two core KPIs with hard guardrails against metric gaming • P L discipline: unit economics per department, cost caps, and a clear path to our monthly net profit target • Cross-team execution: when a launch needs Supply, Demand, and Product working together, you make it happen on time • Hiring and org design as we scale into new lead verticals (insurance, loans) What success looks like in 12 months • Every department runs on 2 KPIs with guardrails, reviewed weekly • Net profit target hit and holding • CEO is out of day-to-day operations completely • At least one new vertical launched without breaking the core business Who you are • You have run operations at a proptech or marketplace company doing $10M+ in annual revenue. This is a hard requirement • You know CPL, EPL, funnel math, and refund economics cold • You have managed remote teams across time zones • You are a scoreboard person, not a whitepaper person. You simplify, you do not add process for its own sake • You are direct. You tell the CEO when he is wrong • Bonus: you have taken a company through a major scale-up or exit What this is not • Not a strategy-deck job. You ship outcomes, not documents • Not a caretaker role. If nothing changes in 90 days, it did not work Comp Competitive base plus performance bonus tied to net profit. Details discussed in the process. To apply, send a short note on the hardest operational problem you have solved and what the numbers were before and after.

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role Anthropic is building AI compute at a scale and pace that outruns what off-the-shelf data center equipment was designed for. Much of the power and cooling equipment behind our next campuses — battery energy storage systems (BESS), grid-forming and grid-following inverters, solid-state transformers (SST), E-STATCOM and other power-quality devices, medium-voltage switchgear, UPS, and liquid-cooling systems — is either new to the market, new to the supplier, or being built at a volume the supplier has never shipped before. The NPI Engineer owns the path from "the supplier has a design" to "the equipment is qualified, manufacturable at rate, and running reliably on site." You sit between our electrical and mechanical design teams, our supply chain and quality teams, and the supplier's engineering and factory organizations, and you make sure every new product or major variant clears the gates — EVT, DVT, PVT, FAT, SAT — before it is trusted with production load. This is a hands-on role: you will spend real time on supplier factory floors, in test labs, and at site commissioning. What you'll do Own the NPI program for each new power or cooling product (BESS, inverters, SST, E-STATCOM, MV switchgear, UPS, CDUs, chillers) from concept selection through ramp, including the gate schedule, exit criteria, and risk register. Drive early supplier design engagement: translate our site requirements (fault current, grid interconnection, harmonic and ride-through requirements, thermal envelopes, footprint, serviceability) into product requirements and specifications the supplier can build to, and negotiate trade-offs with their engineering teams. Lead DFM/DFT/DFx reviews with suppliers so designs are manufacturable at the rate we need, testable in the factory, and serviceable in the field. Plan and run prototype and pilot builds: define EVT/DVT/PVT scope and sample counts, witness builds, own test plans (type testing, HALT/HASS, thermal, EMC, protection coordination, functional and integration tests), and drive root cause and corrective action on every failure. Qualify the product for deployment: define and execute first-article inspection, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and integrated system testing with the rest of the electrical and cooling chain, and sign off on production readiness. Hand off to steady state: transfer qualified products, control plans, test procedures, and known-issue lists to the Manufacturing Quality and Supply Chain Delivery teams, and support them through the first production ramps. Build the reliability picture: run FMEA/DFMEA with suppliers, define reliability targets and burn-in requirements, and feed field failure data back into the next revision. Coordinate cross-functionally with design engineering, construction, commissioning, utilities/interconnection, safety, and sourcing so NPI schedules are integrated with campus delivery schedules. Keep suppliers honest: track readiness and risk with clear metrics, escalate early, and hold technical reviews that resolve issues rather than admire them. You may be a good fit if you have 8+ years of engineering experience in power electronics, electrical equipment, or industrial energy systems, with at least 4 years in an NPI, product development, or product engineering role that owned a product from prototype through production ramp. Direct, hands-on experience with at least two of: BESS, utility- or data-center-scale inverters, medium-voltage transformers or switchgear, UPS, STATCOM/power-quality equipment, or liquid cooling systems (CDUs, chillers, hydronics). Working knowledge of the relevant standards and how they get applied in qualification: UL 9540/9540A, UL 1741 and IEEE 1547, IEEE 2800, IEC 62477 / IEC 62909, IEEE C37 and C57 series, NFPA 70/855, UL 1778, and comparable IEC equivalents. Experience defining and executing structured qualification programs (EVT/DVT/PVT, FAT/SAT, type testing, reliability testing) and closing failures with disciplined root cause analysis and CAPA. Familiarity with supplier factory environments — production lines, test bays, quality systems — and the ability to assess a supplier's real readiness to ship at rate. Fluency in design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test principles and the supplier ECO/change-control process. Strong systems thinking: you can reason about how an inverter, a battery, a transformer, and a cooling loop behave together at a site, not just in isolation. Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort driving decisions across engineering, supply chain, and executive audiences. A bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or power engineering, or equivalent experience. Willingness to travel 30–40% to supplier factories and data center sites, including internationally. Strong candidates may also have Experience with solid-state transformers, grid-forming inverters, E-STATCOM, or other emerging power-conversion equipment being introduced to data center or utility applications for the first time. NPI or product engineering experience at a hyperscaler, a large utility-scale developer, or a Tier-1 power equipment OEM. Background in grid interconnection studies, protection coordination, or power-system modeling (PSCAD, ETAP, PSS/E, or similar). Liquid cooling product introduction experience — CDU, rear-door heat exchanger, direct-to-chip, or immersion systems. Reliability engineering credentials (CRE, Six Sigma) or experience running HALT/HASS programs. Firmware and controls validation experience for power conversion equipment (inverter control loops, BMS, EMS, PLC/SCADA integration). Experience standing up or scaling new supplier manufacturing lines, including contract manufacturing and international sites. The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. Annual Salary: $320,000 — $405,000 USD Logistics Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings. How we're different We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
