About AIUC

AIUC builds standards and insurance for frontier AI. Our mission is to Underwrite superintelligence. We exist because risk, not capability, is becoming the binding constraint on AI being useful. History offers lessons for how to build confidence in new technology; electricity burned down houses until insurers funded Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to certify products against their standards. Today, the UL mark is a trustmark on every light bulb in America. We’re building that for AI.

AIUC-1, our standard for agent security, serves frontier builders like Cursor, Lovable, ElevenLabs, and Harvey. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic and Nat Friedman to audit frontier AI. Our team comes from METR, Anthropic, McKinsey, and OpenAI. Come join us.

The Role

We're looking for someone who can be the operational backbone of AIUC and own how the business runs from first principles – insourcing the core operations we're currently stitching together,, building the systems and financial controls a fast-scaling company needs, and removing friction and bottlenecks wherever you find it and gear us for growth.

In practice this means, you will:

• Insource and own core operations — bring the operational infrastructure, systems and processes that keep AIUC running in-house (vendors, contractors, legal, HR, etc)

• Centralize spend and financial controls — consolidate vendors and spend, put controls in place, and create visibility into where money goes.

• Support recruiting and people ops — help the team hire and onboard well as we grow headcount across functions.

• Run strategic finance and reporting — own board reporting, financial planning, and the numbers leadership runs the company on.

• Drive efficiency across the org — identify where the company is losing time or money and design the fix; turn unstructured problems into structured, durable systems.

What we're looking for

Someone who wants to deliver real impact and ownership. We think you’ll be successful if you have:

• 6–10 years of experience, ideally having owned operations at a high-growth startup and seen scaling pains firsthand — or a top-tier generalist (consulting, finance, operating) we trust to learn ops fast.

• A killer smart generalist: analytical, detail-obsessed, obsessive about efficiency, with a relentless work ethic.

• Reasons from first principles and is just as comfortable going from a blank page to a concrete plan as executing it.

• Moves with urgency and communicates with structure.

• Finds satisfaction in enabling others and takes pride in operations that run seamlessly.

Our Values

We are in the business of building trust. We take our values seriously and treat them as commitments to each other, held to the same bar as the ones we make to customers.

• Strong back: high standards, keep our promises, work hard.

• Fast feet: experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace.

• Eyes up: wrestle with the mission, and let where AI is heading shape our strategy, our teams and our day-to-day work.

• Open heart: say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions.

Underwriting superintelligence is our life's work. If you want it to be yours, apply now.
