About Artie

Artie is a real-time streaming platform that moves production data across systems in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI workloads. Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity — and we’re growing fast.‍

We’re trusted by teams like ClickUp, Substack, and Alloy, and backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight Ventures, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.

About the Role

We're hiring a Head of Operations to build the operational foundation that lets Artie scale.

This is not an inheritor role. You'll build the ops function from scratch.

You'll work directly with the founders of Artie. You'll own decisions that don't need to come back to us. You'll surface the ones that do — with options, rationale, and a recommendation already attached. You'll build systems that keep running when you're not in the room.

We're looking for leaders who are excited to own operations as a whole, while still being hands on.

What You'll Do

Own operations as a whole

• Act as connective tissue across teams, ensuring strategy → execution → iteration happens quickly and collaboratively — with a bias toward velocity and excellence

• Define and drive high-impact strategic initiatives across GTM operations that directly influence how we scale

• Identify what needs fixing— come in, get a view of the team and current state, and proactively propose adjustments

Build systems that outlive you

• Design processes that scale with the company and don't require you to be in the room to keep running

• Build in monitoring and checks so you know when something breaks before anyone else does

• Hand off ownership cleanly — the sign of success is that nothing falls apart when you're not looking

Own the GTM motion

• Understand the revenue motion deeply enough that sales and marketing never have to explain the basics to you

• Support and improve the revenue operation — pipeline hygiene, forecasting, CRM discipline, outbound infrastructure

• Work alongside AEs and founders to identify where deals slow down and build systems to speed them up

What We're Looking For

• 5–7+ years running ops, ideally at a Series A–C company — you've been there at the messy stage and stayed long enough to see it scale

• You've built an ops function from scratch and you can walk us through exactly what you owned, what you decided without asking, and what you built that still runs today

• Meaningful GTM ops experience — you understand the revenue motion, not just internal or people ops

• Systems-level thinker. You build leverage, not dependency. Every system you build has a clear owner and a way to know when it's broken

• Direct communicator. You've pushed back on a founder or executive, navigated it constructively and driven a better outcome

• Self-aware. You know your strengths, your blind spots, and what you'd hire around.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• $200k - $300k base salary

• Competitive equity package

• Healthcare, 401(k), unlimited PTO

• Lunch & dinner provided daily

• Fully in-person, San Francisco

• Visa sponsorship available
