About This Opportunity
About Ethos
Ethos matches people to economic opportunity in the age of AI. We serve foundational AI labs, institutional investors, consulting firms, and Fortune 500 companies — connecting them with domain experts through autonomous research agents that deliver validated insights in minutes, not weeks. Backed by General Catalyst, 8VC, Conviction, Common Magic, and Interface, alongside world-leading AI researchers and finance leaders.
Small team. Flat hierarchy. High ownership. We build first, experiment rapidly, and automate every process after mastering it once. We lead with taste, clarity, and empathy. We are looking for winners with a heart of gold.
The Role
You will run the end-to-end pipeline that delivers expert talent to our foundational AI lab clients — from recruiting and screening through matching and data production. These clients are building the most advanced AI systems in the world, and they need precisely the right people with precisely the right domain knowledge.
You will own the quality, speed, and scale of expert delivery. You will identify bottlenecks, design better processes, and work closely with our AI engineering team to automate everything that can be automated. You master a process by hand, then you never do it by hand again.
