People Operations

Job Description:

As the first People Ops team member you will own core HR functions — from onboarding, policies, and compliance to performance, engagement, and scaling best practices. As an early hire, you’ll partner closely with the founders and leadership team to build Reflection into a world-class place to work.

​

What You’ll Do

​

• Design and implement foundational People Ops processes (onboarding, performance reviews, compensation, benefits, compliance).
• Build and own Reflection’s HR infrastructure (systems, tools, documentation, policies).
• Lead employee engagement initiatives, removing friction and making Reflection a top place to work.
• Act as a trusted partner and advisor to the team, balancing designing a workplace that creates a world-class environment for builders. 

​

What We’re Looking For

​

• 7–10 years of progressive experience in People Ops / HR, ideally including time at a high-growth startup (Seed to Series C).
• Proven track record of designing and implementing HR programs and policies at scale.
• Experience building and running core HR processes (onboarding, performance, compensation, engagement).
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills; trusted by employees and leadership alike.
• Bias toward action with an owner mentality you thrive in ambiguity and can balance strategic and tactical work.
• Experience working with technical teams and researchers in AI companies. 

​

Why Join Us?

​

• Take part in building one of the top frontier labs. 
• Be the first People Ops hire and help define our culture, people strategy, and employee experience.
• Partner directly with founders and leadership to shape Reflection’s growth.
• Health, dental, and vision benefits + flexible PTO
