The Role Lucid is a small team building verifiable compute infrastructure. We're looking for someone to help with all things operations. It's a job for someone who wants to see how a company actually gets built, and who's willing to do the unglamorous parts of that well. What You'll Do
- Own calendars, scheduling, and travel for the founding team, including complex multi-party and international coordination
- Coordinate with finance team on expenses, invoices, receipts, and bookkeeping hygiene
- Own the office and the in-person experience: space, supplies, equipment, and making sure new hires have what they need on day one
- Plan offsites, team events, and the occasional customer or investor visit
- Take on standalone projects as they come up — research, vendor comparisons, process build-out, first drafts of documents and correspondence What You'll Bring
- Judgment and discretion. You'll have visibility into fundraising, compensation, candidate pipelines, and customer terms. That has to be safe with you without anyone needing to say so.
- Follow-through. Things you take on get done, on time, without reminders. Nothing sits in your queue silently.
- Strong writing. You'll draft emails, documents, and candidate communications that go out under our name.
- Comfort with ambiguity. A lot of what you'll do doesn't have a process yet. You'll be expected to build one, not wait for one.
- Fluency with modern tooling — Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, e-signature and expense platforms — and the instinct to automate something the third time you do it by hand. Bonus
- Experience at an early-stage startup, especially sub-50 people
- Exposure to legal, paralegal, or contract administration work
- Bookkeeping or finance operations experience
- Recruiting coordination at volume
- Genuine interest in AI, infrastructure, or technology policy Where This Goes This is a role with room to grow. The person who does it well will end up owning larger pieces of how the company runs — finance operations, recruiting, legal administration, or people ops, depending on where their strengths land. If you're looking for a seat that stays exactly as scoped, this isn't it.
