Company Operator / Chief of Staff

Firetiger is on a mission to help our customers build 1-person, $1 billion revenue companies.

We believe that eventually, all companies will be software companies, and the vast majority of coordination will be handled by autonomous agents, not people. To get there, we are helping software companies become "self-driving".

Legacy operations software is built for humans to manually explore data and patch together brittle alerts. Firetiger flips the script. We approach operations from first principles: we help customers define top-down what success looks like for a business, and we deploy agents to ensure those goals are met.

We are founded by Rustam and Achille, former leaders from Cloudflare and Segment, and backed by Sequoia Capital.

We are looking for a Company Operator to work directly with our CEO, Rustam Lalkaka. Your mandate is to prove our thesis by making Firetiger itself a self-driving company.

The Role

You are the prototype for the "1-person, $1 billion" operator. You will help define the high-level goals for the company (financial health, talent density, customer delight) and build and operate the systems that execute against them.

You will not just "run" finance, or recruiting, or anything else; you will define the evergreen outcomes we care about and build the agents and workflows that close the loop when reality is different from the plan.

What You Will Accomplish

• The Self-Driving Finance Stack: You will ensure we can see high-level company goals and how our software is executing against them in real-time. As part of this, you be deeply involved in the flow of capital—managing burn, AP/AR, and runway models—so that financial rigor happens automatically, not manually.

• Agentic Company Operations: Interfaces between companies (vendors, partners, recruits) are where value is delivered or lost. You will build the "API" for our organization: whether it's recruiting pipelines or vendor procurement, you will design processes that allow us to interact with the world at massive scale without massive headcount.

• Customer Loop Closure: You will be the first line of feedback for our "agent-first" data infrastructure. You will help early customers define their own "evergreen" success metrics and ensure Firetiger is delivering on them.

Who You Are

• High Agency: You don't wait for permission. You see a problem—whether it's a broken financial model or a slow hiring process—and you fix it.

• Technical Aptitude: You might not be a software engineer by trade, but you are technically fearless. You understand logic (if/else), have used Claude Code, written a SQL query, or hacked together a Zapier/Notion workflow. If you have the aptitude to code and build agents, we will teach you the skills. We value trajectory over tenure.

• First-Principles Thinker: You don't do things because "that's how they are done." You ask "what is the goal?" and "what do customers want?" and you figure out how to build the system to achieve it.

Qualifications

• Experience: 2-5 years of professional experience in a high-performance environment.

• Aptitude: Demonstrated ability to learn and build systems combining people, process, and software to accomplish a goal.

  • OK: "I defined and tracked our team’s KPIs in Excel."

  • Great!: "I built an automated system that alerted me when our unit economics deviated from the forecast."

• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Compensation and benefits

• Competitive salary + meaningful early-stage equity

• 100% covered health/dental/vision

• Unlimited PTO

• Visa sponsorship available

• In-person in San Francisco
