About Thinking Machines

The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it.

About the Role

We’re looking for a People Operations Generalist who believes that great people systems create leverage and trust. They let our researchers, engineers, and builders stay in deep focus–without distraction or uncertainty. Compliance happens smoothly instead of creating friction. New hires arrive on day one and integrate quickly with the support they need.

This role is ideal for someone who treats people operations as a craft that spans compliance, program design, and organizational strategy. You'll support the early employee lifecycle, from offer acceptance to onboarding, while also building the programs and infrastructure that preserve what makes our culture distinctive as we grow. You’ll operate with significant autonomy, making judgment calls and building systems from first principles in an early-stage environment.

This role reports to the Head of Operations and will be foundational in shaping how we scale.
