Executive Assistant

Hone builds AI that owns outcomes, not tasks: agentic systems that work towards goals over weeks and months, deploy themselves, and improve over time. ABOUT HONE Models keep getting smarter, but outside of coding most organizations can't absorb that intelligence, and the gap between model capability and the value derived from it keeps widening. The reasons are many, from human incentives to org design, but at the core we think it's a technology problem. Hone builds engines: AI systems that you hand a goal, like "keep the recruiting pipeline healthy." An engine builds itself, maintains its own agents and code, pulls in people when it needs judgment, and learns from every correction. Leading AI companies and global enterprises already run engines across funnel optimization, procurement, deal sourcing, asset management, financial risk, and product and customer delivery. We measure ourselves by the real-world economic impact our engines create, not benchmark scores. We're ex-founders and early engineers from Cognition, Mercor, Ramp, Jane Street, Decagon, Brex, and Harvey, backed by Benchmark and Index Ventures. THE ROLE Hone runs its own operations on engines. You'll work directly with the co-founders and own the work that keeps them and the company moving, including deciding what a person should handle and what an engine should: founder support, recruiting coordination, company logistics, events and community, and the systems behind them. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON - Co-founder calendars, inbox triage and travel. - Recruiting coordination: interview scheduling, onsites and candidate logistics. - Company logistics, the office, and operational admin like NDAs and records. - Dinners, events and community, from guest list to follow-up. - Relationship outreach, applications and company presence. - Lightweight systems and AI automations that make recurring work run itself.
