Operations Manager senior - Data & AI

About

🌍 Mission, ambition & context

The promise of AI agents is still unmet in complex, real-world business environments. Our mission is to make it possible to evaluate and train AI agents in real business settings, so they can reliably accomplish concrete, useful tasks.

Concretely, we build reinforcement learning environments that evaluate and train agents in realistic, complex contexts. You can think of them like video-game environments: a set of tools, a real-world dataset as a starting point, a list of tasks to accomplish, and evaluation agents deployed to measure how well tasks are performed. A core part of our work is building these real-world datasets (acquisition, anonymization, enrichment).

Our goal: become the data & RL partner of choice for the labs and companies deploying agents.

Our traction speaks for itself: we've signed contracts with the two largest AI labs in the world, alongside recent partnerships with several smaller labs, all while being 100% bootstrapped. This summer, we're joining Y Combinator, which will accelerate everything.

👥 Team: 3 co-founders (Pierre-Louis – CEO; Grégoire – CPO & COO; Thomas – CTO) + 1 ML engineer

🤝 Our values

  • Trust - the foundation of every relationship, internal and external. We extend it by default and value the ownership that comes with it.

  • Ambition - we commit, we move fast, with tenacity and efficiency.

  • Collective - team first, low ego.

  • Kindness - at the heart of every interaction.

We're building a solid, aligned, and motivated team.

Job Description

Reporting directly to Grégoire (CPO/COO & co-founder), you'll play a central role in executing and scaling our operations. You'll have significant freedom to act and real room to bring your own ideas, initiatives, and solutions.

You'll be in charge of:

  • Building and scaling our data sourcing pipeline : managing it end to end, from acquisition to delivery, and tackling the core challenges of scaling and automating it.

  • Driving our data projects : owning timelines, quality, and operational efficiency across client deliverables, and coordinating the people involved.

  • Improving our processes & automating : turning repetitive, manual work into reliable, automated workflows, and proposing concrete optimizations.

  • Contributing to our RL task-creation pipeline : helping design and refine how we build the tasks that power our reinforcement learning environments.

  • Working closely with the founders on strategic and operational topics.

Preferred Experience

👀 What we're looking for

You have 5+ years of experience in operations, project management, consulting, or a fast-paced startup environment and you're looking to take real ownership in an early-stage company.

🧠 Soft skills

  • Curiosity - you want to understand how things really work, in depth.

  • Initiative - you propose, you try, you're not afraid to fail.

  • Tenacity - long or hard tasks don't discourage you; you see them through.

  • Structure & rigor - you bring order to ambiguity and care about quality and detail.

🛠️ Hard skills

None is a strict requirement, but we want someone who works AI-first, using AI as a daily leverage to build, automate, and move faster:

  • Automation mindset - you instinctively spot repetitive work and turn it into reliable, automated pipelines.

  • Building with AI - you use LLMs and AI tools to automate workflows, draft solutions, and solve problems end to end, not just to chat.

  • Coding / scripting - you can write or vibe-code to automate tasks, glue systems together, and ship internal tools; or you're hungry to learn fast.

  • Data fluency - comfortable with SQL, spreadsheets, and manipulating data to drive decisions.

  • AI literacy - genuine interest in and understanding of where the field is going (agents, RL, data).

  • Fluent English - mandatory (working language with our partners and the labs).

🎁 Why join us

  • Entrepreneurial adventure - play a key role and live the early days of an ambitious company, right at the front line of the AI revolution.

  • Backed by Y Combinator - join just as we accelerate.

  • Real ownership - a genuine seat in a team being built: your opinion counts, and so does your work.

  • An exceptional learning curve - work directly with the founders on strategic and operational topics, with massive room to grow.

  • Offices in central Paris + 1–2 days WFH.

  • Package:

    • €50–65k/year depending on profile
    • BSPCE (stock options) depending on profile
    • Alan health insurance (mutuelle)
    • 50% Navigo covered
