TechOps Engineer

ABOUT TOWN Town is building the AI coworker for every team. Everyone gets their own Townie, an AI assistant that learns how you work (your voice, judgment, relationships, and priorities) and does real work on your behalf across email, calendar, docs, Slack, and CRM. Townies don't wait to be prompted. They observe, learn, and act. And because every teammate has one, Townies can ask each other questions and hand off work, so the whole team moves faster together. Four months after our public launch, we became a $1B company. We recently raised a $108M Series B, co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, with continued support from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital and angels such as Zach Perret, Soleio Cuervo, Scott Belsky, and more. Our founders, Jean-Denis and Tony, previously led EPD at Plaid and applied AI product at Google.   ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring our first TechOps Engineer to keep the technology our team relies on reliable, secure, and easy to use.

You'll run recurring controls, coordinate audits and security reviews, and turn open requests into completed work.
