About the role
DS creates systems that power the next generation of radio spectrum intelligence. We collect radio data from all over the world, train neural networks to decipher it, and run them on the smallest chips we can. We’re solving a new, technically hard problem where nothing from other fields works out of the box, and along the way, we’ve built our own stack from scratch, including entirely new embedding model architectures, custom GPU kernels, and much more.
Responsibilities
- Make success explicit. Help founders and project owners agree on concrete, written success criteria. Check that everyone means the same thing by progress and readiness.
- Get to the substance. Read plans and results, talk to the people doing the work, and assess progress for yourself.
- Stay ahead of dependencies and drift. Track owners, handoffs, and work needed now for milestones months away. When plans shift, make sure everyone understands what happens next.
- Turn uncertainty into decisions. Resolve routine coordination gaps. Bring leaders the evidence, tradeoffs, and decisions that need their judgment, while keeping technical and growth decisions with their owners.
- Keep the shared picture accurate. Keep project records current, conversations focused, and decisions documented. Follow through on commitments and keep coordination overhead low.
- Close the loop on evidence. Get test results and field observations to the right people. Check their implications for upcoming milestones and agreed success criteria.
Qualifications
- Your background could be engineering, consulting, investing, program management, military leadership, or operations at another startup.
- You may be only a year or two into your career. What matters is a pattern of taking on hard problems, doing unusually good work, and earning responsibility quickly.
