VectorShift

VectorShift is the AI operating system for private market investors. We give private equity firms intelligence that compounds across every deal: VDR analysis, IC memos, portfolio monitoring, and LP reporting, with every figure and finding traced back to the exact document and page. Diligence findings, IC decisions, and realized outcomes become the firm's living record, so cross-deal patterns surface at underwriting and associates learn faster because the firm's playbook is alongside them on every deal. We're trusted by enterprises and portfolio companies managing billions in AUM. About the role We're looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with the founders and drive the company's highest-priority initiatives. What you'll do You'll partner with the CEO to own whatever matters most in a given week: Prospect key accounts and build relationships with partners and decision-makers at private equity firms Drive enterprise pilots through to adoption and conversion Run day-to-day operations and admin Stand up cross-functional initiatives to drive growth and tighten internal operations Support hiring, from sourcing through closing candidates This is a rare chance to see every part of a startup up close, spanning enterprise sales, customer success, hiring, marketing, and operations, while working with some of the most sophisticated investors in private markets. What we're looking for Comfortable in a technical and financial environment. We build AI infrastructure for investment teams. You don't need an engineering or finance background, but you do need to hold your own in conversations with both engineers and PE professionals and quickly understand the problems they're solving. Highly organized and independent. You might be reviewing an enterprise contract one hour and building a marketing process the next. We want someone who can build whatever structure they need to keep things moving and make sure nothing slips. A true generalist. You'll take on whatever needs to get done for the company to grow. If you're only interested in one kind of work, this role isn't for you. Proactive and solution-focused. There's no shortage of ways to grow. We want someone who seeks those opportunities out and drives them to real impact without being asked. Interview process Intro call (30 min). A quick conversation to get to know each other. Case study (60 min). We'll work through a hypothetical scenario together.

VectorShift (YC S23) is building the AI enterprise workflow automation. We convert complex, manual processes into fully automated AI systems that scale across global teams. ABOUT THE ROLE As an AI Engineer, you will work across our core AI infrastructure — from multi-agent systems and RAG pipelines to evaluation frameworks and production deployment. You'll ship AI-powered features that clients rely on daily, ensuring they're performant, reliable, and secure. This is a high-ownership role where you'll contribute across the full stack: backend APIs, data pipelines, frontend interfaces, and cloud infrastructure. You'll report directly to the founders and collaborate closely with a tight-knit engineering team building product with real urgency and craft.

The work is hard, the pace is fast, and priorities will shift as we learn from the market and our clients. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building something that hasn't been built before. We're assembling a small team of exceptionally talented, tenacious people who care deeply about the craft of building great software. If that's you — and you're at the point in your career where you want to make a defining contribution — we'd love to hear from you.
