Chief of Staff to the CTO
Imbue CTO and co-founder Josh Albrecht is hiring a Chief of Staff to help him scale. This is a high-trust, demanding, execution-focused role with huge growth potential. The focus is on business operations building entirely new functions (ex : marketing), hiring, taking on special projects, and generally doing whatever it takes to make Imbue successful.
This position is meant to become a long-term partnership someone Josh can work with, learn from, and invest in for years to come. As one example, Josh still collaborates with his first Chief of Staff (Ali) from his previous company (Sourceress). Ali applied to that role cold, and now Josh, Kanjun, and Ali are co-GPs at Outset Capital, the small venture fund Ali leads full-time. Ali even helped write this job description!
This is an opportunity to get deeply involved in the world of AI, helping to build a top product and team at one of the world's most exciting early-stage startups. Imbue is just getting started, so building a strong foundation for company operations is critical. You will help grow a culture of operational excellence and passion for doing the right thing in the world into a company that becomes a household name.
Imbue's mission is to make "open" AI agents win over closed agents. To do that, we build AI systems that reason and code, enabling AI agents to accomplish larger goals and safely work in the real world.
Our first product, Sculptor, gives engineers the power to run and coordinate multiple coding agents in parallel, helping them move faster, and stay in flow. We intend to make the source code available to both serve as an example of how to create open agents, and provide a tool that makes it easier for others to create open software.
We aim to rekindle the dream of the
- personal
- computer, where computers become truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to pursue the things we love.
