About Terac

Terac is building the infrastructure for accessing human capability on demand. We are working toward a future where Terac deeply understands:

1. What every person is capable of, what they want, and where they can thrive

2. What work our customers need completed and what success requires

3. What creates a great match between the two

With this understanding, Terac can intelligently allocate human capability to the work where it creates the most value for both our experts and customers. Today, our initial wedge is providing specialized experts for AI training, evaluation, market research, and other expert-driven research.

We place 1,000s of experts per month and pay our experts, on average, over $90/hr. We're a team of 15 based in San Francisco, and we work with leading AI labs and research companies. We've raised $16M from Emergence, SV Angel, SignalFire, and more.

About the role

We're looking for a founding operator to partner directly with the CEO to shape and scale the company's core functions. You will work on the highest-priority problems in the company, including managing key customer relationships, building out the founding team, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

You're someone who thrives in ambiguity, has exceptional judgment, and can context-switch between strategic planning, tactical execution, and people operations.

You will:

• Coordinate the delivery of our highest-value projects

• Work with the CEO to drive important business decisions

• Oversee and orchestrate the work of 10,000s of experts on our platform

• Ensure execution under demanding timelines

• Diagnose bottlenecks, restructure workflows, and implement solutions that improve quality, throughput, and cost-efficiency

• Work with every single member of the team

You have:

• A background in consulting, finance, startups, or other operationally intense environments

• Strong analytical and communication abilities, and a proven track record of managing complex projects

• Comfort working directly with high-profile clients

• Excitement for "gritty" process optimization and large-scale execution

How we work

• In person. We work together in our San Francisco office, Monday through Friday during reasonable hours, and remotely on weekends.

• AI everywhere. We use AI throughout our work and expect you to as well.

• Learn out loud. We share what we're learning in weekly presentations and company hackathons.

Compensation and benefits

• Salary: $120K to $160K.

• Equity: meaningful equity, vesting over four years.

• Moving here: a $10K relocation bonus to move to the Bay Area, and $5K more if you live within half a mile of the office.

• Benefits: health, dental and vision insurance, and a 401(k) with company match.

• Meals: we cover all meals in the office.

• Growth: you're joining Terac at one of the earliest stages and will have the opportunity to shape and grow with the company as a founding member.
