A1 is building a proactive AI chat app for everyday usersâbringing intelligence into conversations, errands, organization, and workflows. Unlike traditional chat-based tools, we focus on high reliability in long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task execution.
This is a hands-on, execution-driven role working directly with the CEO and early leadership team. You will keep critical workstreams moving across hiring, office setup, and early operations. The scope is intentionally broad. You will operate across functionsâsetting up the first office, coordinating hiring, building local networks, and ensuring execution stays on track.
This is not a support role. Expect to take ownership, solve problems independently, and drive outcomes in an unstructured environment.

High reliability - consistently follows through and delivers
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment
