Read more https://exa.ai/blog/announcing-series-c Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn’t been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike. We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We’re high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right. ABOUT THE ROLE We're scaling in Singapore and need someone on the ground who owns the people and workplace side of things. You'd be the first dedicated ops person in our Singapore office, which means you'll shape how we grow from 5 people to 10, 20, and beyond.🚀 This role sits between our People lead in San Francisco and your team in Singapore.

We’re looking for someone who will care deeply about making people's experience at Exa feel good, whether that's a smooth first day or knowing exactly who to talk to when they have a question. You'll also be the one keeping the gears turning behind the scenes - the office runs, the visas process smoothly, the vendors get paid on time. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Run onboarding for every new Singapore hire - from offer to first day - and make it feel like a warm welcome - Help people relocating to Singapore get oriented on the ground - housing, neighborhoods, what they need to know about living and working here - Coordinate with our global payroll pro
