About the Role
You'll work directly with our founder as leverage for the whole company, owning special projects end to end, carrying work that has no owner yet, and being the stability that keeps decisions moving when the founder is heads-down or on the road. This is an owner role where you will scope market entry, run the home end of a founder travel week, and take partner questions from blank page to recommendation.

About the Company
- Alloy is the AI-native data platform for robotics teams.
- Robot fleets generate enormous volumes of logs, video, telemetry, and mission data, and most of it ends up in silos where nobody can use it.
- Alloy turns it into one queryable layer with AI agents on top: engineers ask questions in natural language, get automated mission reports, and catch failures before they compound.
- The point is simple. Your robot breaks, you find out why, and your best people spend their time building the next robot instead of digging through the last one.
- Raised $16m, backed by Square Peg, Blackbird, and Airtree, with angels including senior leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Tesla, Waymo, and Halter.
- Partners with robotics teams across defence, agriculture, maritime, humanoids, construction, and medical, including Advanced Navigation, DroneForge, Breaker Industries, and Puralink.
- Lean team building from Sydney, adding first US hires.
- Raised seed and expanding in the US, customers on both sides of the Pacific, bigger moments ahead.
- Building the company we always wanted to join: small, fast, and serious about the craft.
- The bar is work you'll be proud of in five years, shipped this week.
- Everyone owns outcomes end to end: the interesting problems don't come with instructions, and nobody will hand you a playbook.
- Question requirements, delete what shouldn't exist, and spend energy where customers feel it.
