Cameras watch the pack line, software figures out where things are slow or wrong, and operators get real-time feedback that actually changes how they work. Customers stick around because it measurably improves their output.\nWe're venture-backed with distribution partnerships with major industry players. The product works. Now we need someone to run operations as we scale.\nThe role\nYou'd be the CEO's right hand. The person who makes sure the business actually runs while everyone else builds product and closes deals. Finance, logistics, vendor management, field ops, internal systems. If it keeps the company functioning, it's yours.\nWe automate heavily. Our internal ops run on AI agents, custom tooling, and code. We don't throw people at problems we can automate. You should think the same way.\nYou'll report directly to the CEO and co-founder. This is not a back-office role. You'll be in the warehouse, on the road, in the numbers, and in the room when decisions get made.\nIn-person in Arlington, TX. Not remote. Regular domestic travel.\nWhat you'll do\nRun day-to-day operations across the company. Distributed teams, warehouse deployments, vendor relationships, partner logistics.\n\nAutomate everything you can. Your first instinct when you see a manual process should be to eliminate it. You'll have AI tools, internal software, and engineering support to do this.\n\nOwn the numbers. Budgets, operational KPIs, reporting. Build the dashboards yourself or work with engineering to get them built.\n\nManage vendor and partner relationships. Hardware suppliers, contract manufacturers, service providers.\n\nGrow into the finance side. Budgeting, forecasting, working with our fractional CFO. You don't need to be a controller on day one, but you should be headed there.\n\nTravel to customer sites and partner facilities. This job has a field component.\n\nBuild systems and teams together. When we need people, hire them. When we don't, build software instead.\n\nWho you are\nYou've worked in operations, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, or field ops. You know what it's like to manage things that move in the physical world.\n\nYou're technical. Maybe you write scripts, maybe you build automations, maybe you're just fluent enough to work directly with engineers. You see code and AI as tools you use, not things other people handle.\n\nYou use AI tools every day. Not as an experiment. As how you work.\n\nPeople follow you. You have presence and you can rally a team around a goal without needing a title to do it.\n\nYou don't wait for permission. You see a problem, you fix it. You see a gap, you fill it.\n\nYou're smart and adaptable. No specific degree required. We care about how you think.\n\nYou're fine with ambiguity. Startups don't come with instruction manuals.\n\nNice to have\nYou've written code to solve operational problems. Python, SQL, Apps Script, anything.\n\nYou've been a right hand to a CEO or founder before.\n\nBackground in tech-driven operations: Amazon, Flexport, or similar environments where automation is the default.\n\nFinancial literacy. Budgeting, forecasting, P&L basics.\n\nEarly-stage startup experience. You know what building from scratch actually means.\n\nMilitary or logistics background with a technical lean.\n\nWhat we offer\nBase salary plus equity. A real stake, not a token grant.\n\nYou'd run operations at a company with paying customers, a clear market, and a team that ships fast.\n\nDirect line to the CEO. Your input shapes company decisions.\n\nAI tools and a culture that actually uses them. We automate our own ops before we tell customers to automate theirs.\n\nComp\nWe want someone who bets on themselves. If you're optimizing purely for guaranteed base, this probably isn't the right fit. If you want equity in a company you can directly make more valuable, this structure works.\nHow to apply\nSend us two things:\nOne example of an operational problem you solved. Not a resume bullet. What was broken, what did you do, and what changed?\n\nYou inherit a process where three people spend 10 hours a week each on manual data entry and reporting. Walk us through how you'd fix it. Keep it under a page.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4200,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Computer Vision","Supply Chain & Logistics Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T21:43:01Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.228,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":237,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rabot-operations-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rabot-operations-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T21:07:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31357,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":684660},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=684660"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frabot-operations-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frabot-operations-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frabot-operations-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rabot-operations-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frabot-operations-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":662773}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rabot.us","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":662773},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
