At Apollo, we aim for a culture that emphasizes truth-seeking, being goal-oriented, giving and receiving constructive feedback, and being friendly and helpful.

This is a generalist role with a focus on People Ops and will touch a variety of things: hiring, onboarding, HR systems and overall process improvement. There's also a ambitious AI enablement thread where we think hard about how to use tools well. You'll be expected to use AI to move faster and reduce manual overhead. This role is also relationship-heavy and requires genuine care about candidates and when hired, their experience at work. You'll be supporting a technical workforce of researchers and engineers.
