Beam is an ultrafast AI inference platform. We built a serverless runtime that launches GPU-backed containers in under a second and scales out to thousands of GPUs. Developers use Beam to serve apps to millions of users around the globe. We're backed by Y Combinator, Tiger Global, and prominent developer-tool founders, including the founder of Snyk and the former CTO of GitHub. About the Role We're hiring a Chief of Staff to be the right hand to our founding team. You'll take over a lot of what the CEO does today and own it end to end. You'll see every part of a fast-growing infrastructure company, and the role will grow as fast as you do. What You'll Do • Run data center operations. Bring new capacity online, track SLAs, and chase issues down until they're resolved. • Support customers.
