Interview process
If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 3, but no more than 4 interviews.
Applications are evaluated by our founding team members. Interviews will be conducted via virtual meetings and/or onsite.
Additional Information
Company
A1 is building a proactive AI smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.
Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.
Role
You will operate as an extension of the Founder, turning ideas into execution across hiring, partnerships, fundraising, and market entry. This role tackles the highest-priority initiatives - from shaping China expansion to closing key hires and building the company's first operating systems. The scope is intentionally broad.
We're looking for someone fast, dependable, and able to operate independently in ambiguity.
