Strategy & Operations Lead

About the Role
We're a small group of engineers, designers, and product folks building at the intersection of conversational AI and domain expertise. Making an AI agent sound human-like is hard. Making an AI an expert in a domain is also hard. We're doing both together. Our product is Vaya - an AI-powered Vedic astrology app used by millions.
This role is inspired by Greg (https://blog.samaltman.com/greg), Matt Cohler at the Facebook, Shakil Kahn at Spotify. Every legendary company had an early operator who became mission critical by making problems disappear and getting things done.

How We Work
We care about craft obsessively. Your work gets questioned, pulled apart, and rebuilt - not because we're harsh, but because everyone here holds each other to a standard most places don't bother with. We work out of a hacker house in Vasant Kunj. We strongly encourage everyone to be in office.
