Job location San Francisco, CA, US
Type Full Time

Responsibilities:

  • Work in a high-velocity environment, where the outcome of your work will inform deployment decisions

Requirements & Skills:

  • You thrive in dynamic environments. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, managing shifting priorities, and adapting to fast-paced changes without missing a beat.
  • You’re curious about policy, political science, or government. While not required, an interest or background in these areas will help you connect the dots in our broader mission.
  • You have a can-do attitude. You don’t shy away from rolling up your sleeves and tackling the “grunt work” with the same enthusiasm as high-visibility tasks.
  • You are resilient and flexible. Setbacks don’t rattle you. You bounce back quickly, adjust strategies as needed, and maintain a positive, solution-oriented mindset.
  • You’re super organized amidst chaos. Even when things are moving quickly, you keep track of details, manage competing demands, and bring structure to complexity.
  • You enjoy operational work. While you might have an interest in broader topics like safety, you find satisfaction in executing operational tasks efficiently and effectively.
  • You have a knack for data. You’ve gone beyond basic data annotation and have hands-on experience with data analytics, using insights to inform decisions and improve processes.
  • You’re energized by start-up environments. If you enjoy the hustle, resourcefulness, and rapid iteration typical of start-ups, you’ll feel right at home.
  • You have some relevant experience. Ideally, you have at least 1-2 years of relevant experience and are eager to grow within a role that challenges and develops your skills.
