🚀 Company Description:
Halluminate is a data research lab building benchmarks and RL environments to push the frontier of AI in knowledge work.
Our first area of focus is economically valuable workflows in financial services and consulting, but we are rapidly expanding into adjacent verticals.
📋 Role Description:
Halluminate is looking to hire a Chief of Staff to own strategic initiatives, set up operational systems, and drive horizontal priorities amongst the team.
The responsibilities of this role include:
Driving important initiatives across multiple domains and stakeholders in the company. You are an extension of the leadership team working with CEO/CTO to be a force of change when priorities come up. Some examples include important business partnerships, high leverage industry initiatives, selling important hires, running large company events, etc.
Lead the buildout of company internal operations/processes as we scale from 10 to 25+ people in next 6 months. This includes building from scratch HR, Onboarding, Ops, and more.
Switch between managing and detail-oriented IC. We expect our CoS to come in and build automated systems throughout the company using coding agents to accelerate growth and scale.
Impactful culture and energy setter across the company. Build deep relationships with everyone, be an \"always on\" context connector across the company.
IMPORTANT: We fully expect the CoS role to be a temporary 1 to 1.5 year rotation, with great candidates actively seeking a long term role owning a business unit/team within the company after their rotation as Chief of Staff. Huge opportunity to be horizontal across a fast growing company then pick out where you want to grow long term.
Necessary Skills Include:
2+ years in a high-intensity generalist environment — investment banking, consulting, early-stage startup ops/BizOps, founder experience, or a prior chief of staff seat
Builder's instinct with AI tools: you already use coding agents and LLMs to automate your own work, and you're excited to build internal systems (dashboards, workflows, onboarding automations) yourself
Extreme organization and follow-through — nothing you own gets dropped, and people learn to trust that
Demonstrated history of actioning on ambiguous problem spaces and delivering strong outcomes
Exceptional written and verbal communication
⚕️ Benefits
Fully covered healthcare coverage for yourself and subsidized for dependents (Medical, Dental, Vision)
Relocation Stipend ($10k+)
401k (4% match)
Food: Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner while working
Health: Free gym membership
Transportation: Free transportation to and from the office (Ubers, Waymo)

Own our data function from zero. Every RL environment we ship is built on real-world financial data. You are the person who finds it, licenses it, makes it safe to use, and gets it into the hands of the teams building on it. Ideal for data, engineering, or product leaders who want to build a function rather than inherit one.
Stand up the data team from scratch — you are the first hire and the owner.
Source, license, and purchase real-world financial data and artifacts — data rooms, filings, models, decks — from across the industry.
Build the anonymization and compliance pipeline that turns sensitive industry data into training-safe assets.
Build the systems that catalogue, version, and distribute data so project teams can self-serve.
Act as the internal supplier to our SPL project pods, fulfilling requests for data/tokens that are the foundation for our RL environments
Own vendor and data-provider relationships end to end, including negotiation and renewal.
Own data quality, provenance, and licensing terms — and the judgment calls about what we will and will not use.
Experience building a data acquisition, licensing, or ops function — ideally one that did not exist before you arrived.
Strong engineering instincts. You will build pipelines and tooling yourself, not just manage vendors.
Product judgment about what makes data good enough for a given use case, and when to stop.
Comfort operating with no playbook, and startup speed: iterate quick, ask quick, respond quick, make mistakes quick.
Client-facing comfort — you'll work directly with project leads, vendors, and SMEs.
Healthcare — Fully covered medical, dental, and vision for you. Subsidized for dependents.
Relocation — $10k+ relocation stipend to help you get to San Francisco.
401(k) — Up to 4% employer match.

Our FDEs will interface directly with our customers at AI Labs and Enterprises. You will sit in the customer research meetings, understand the intent behind the requests, and create software that drives forward $xMM projects. The work is a mix of client facing, 0 to 1, rapid prototyping, and product scaling with core platform teams. Your engineering will directly support revenue creation and frontier intelligence scaling.
Work directly with frontier AI labs and enterprise customers to understand requirements and what they need from an RL environment
Translate customer requirements into concrete technical specs our platform and project pods can build against.
Build 0→1 — prototype, ship, and iterate on customer-specific environments and tooling before any of it becomes a platform feature.
Use and extend our internal platforms and dev tooling rather than rebuilding them.
Embed with SPL project pods to unblock delivery: integration, technical debugging, and the last-mile problems that decide whether a project lands.
Feed patterns back to the platform team so one-off solutions become reusable capability.
Own technical credibility in customer conversations, from scoping through delivery.
2+ years of experience in consulting or forward-deployed engineering roles for large enterprises with custom software, systems, and requirements
Strong engineering ability paired with genuine comfort interacting directly in front of customers
A track record of 0→1 work: shipping something that did not exist, under ambiguity, without waiting for a spec.
The ability to translate fuzzy customer language into technical requirements, and technical constraints back into plain terms.
Startup speed: iterate quick, ask quick, respond quick, make mistakes quick.
Experience building evals, environments, and benchmarks for AI Agents
Financial services domain exposure (investment banking, private equity, hedge funds).
Former founders or experience at early-stage startups.
Healthcare — Fully covered medical, dental, and vision for you. Subsidized for dependents.
Relocation — $10k+ relocation stipend to help you get to San Francisco.
401(k) — Up to 4% employer match.
Food — Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner while working.
Health — Free gym membership.
Transportation — Free Ubers and Waymo rides to and from the office.
Visa sponsorship — We sponsor visas, including H-1B.
🚀 Company Description:
Halluminate is a data research lab building benchmarks and RL environments to push the frontier of AI in knowledge work.
Our first area of focus is economically valuable workflows in financial services and consulting, but we are rapidly expanding into adjacent verticals.
📋 Role Description:
Halluminate is looking to hire a Senior Recruiter to build our finance expert network. Halluminate's experts are an exclusive well-trained group of the best RL building specialists in finance knowledge work. Your job will be to market, source, identify, and bring in the best in the world at this work into our network. This will directly tie to growth and revenue generation across the company.
You will work alongside our People Platform Lead (who owns the product of onboarding, training, and community once someone is in) and our strategic project leads (whose projects drive the demand for specific domain expert categories).
The responsibilities of this role include:
Own the expert pipeline end-to-end: source and engage candidates, manage qualification and vetting handoff, drive conversion through activation, and partner with the People Platform team on retention. You will be accountable for the full funnel from sourced → qualified → activated.
Data Driven Outbound: LinkedIn Recruiter / Sales Navigator, alumni and professional networks (CFA societies, MBA programs, banking alumni groups), referrals, and cold outreach to key profiles. A/B test paid acquisition, partnerships with expert networks and boutique firms, university and training-program relationships, and creator or community channels.
Inbound Marketing: Own the creation of brand collatoral, marketing, host community events, and more amongst our key expert groups to drive inbound interest in joining our program.
Strategic Planning: Work closely with our project teams to translate upcoming customer work into a sourcing plan by domain and seniority, weeks ahead of when the work lands.
Design incentives and referral programs that attract and keep high-quality experts, and feed what you learn about expert motivation back to the People Platform and product teams.
Product Work: Drive the creation of products, systems, and tools that help automate sourcing/growth at scale as we grow the company.
Necessary Skills Include:
2 to 5 years in growth, outbound sales / lead generation, recruiting / sourcing, or marketplace supply roles
Channel curiosity and scrappiness: you have found non-obvious sourcing channels before and are comfortable testing five things to find the one that works
Data fluency: own funnel metrics, conversion rates, CAC, and retention, and can pull your own numbers (SQL or comfort with spreadsheets and coding agents)
Marketing/Brand Skills: be comfortable creating and designing content that pulls people into the funnel
Be a builder ready for ambiguity of early stage startup operations.
Exceptional written communication.
Nice to have: direct, high-volume experience recruiting or sourcing finance professionals — investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or similar — via campus/on-cycle recruiting, finance-vertical staffing/RPO, in-house bank or PE recruiting, or finance-focused search.
