Full Job Description
ABOUT WARP Warp is building self-driving employee management. Payroll, tax compliance across thousands of jurisdictions, benefits, IT, and HRIS that runs autonomously so companies never have to think about back-office operations again. We process hundreds of millions in payments across 1,000+ companies. Revenue has grown 5x+ YoY for two years. We're a team of ~40 in NYC in Flatiron, scaling fast, and expecting to be 100 people by end of year. The incumbents (ADP, Paylocity, Paychex) built their businesses by profiting from complexity. Even the modern players are bolting chatbots onto legacy systems. Warp is built from day one for AI to be the primary operator, not a feature. Every advance in LLM capability widens our lead. We hire people who ship constantly, own outcomes, and care about craft. We're in the office five days a week because speed and proximity are a competitive advantage at this stage. If you want to build something that automates an entire category of core work, not just another point solution, this is the place. Backed by $25M+ from Ashton Kutcher/Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, founders of Dropbox, Replit, SV Angel, and Homebrew Capital. Built by an obsessive team from MIT, Ramp, Brex, Google, Dropbox, Apple, and more. ABOUT WARP Warp is building self-driving employee management.
