Strategy & Ops

The Role

You will own the work that turns a great product into a great company: how we sell, how we price, how we hire, how we operate, how we tell our story to investors and customers. The remit is wide on purpose. If it isn't the product itself, it's probably yours to figure out.

• Designing and running our go-to-market motion: ICP, pricing, packaging, and the first repeatable sales playbook for a developer-led product
• Owning the customer lifecycle end-to-end, first touch through expansion, and building the systems that make revenue predictable instead of anecdotal
• Running the financial model, the fundraising narrative, and the metrics that the team and board actually steer by
• Building the operational backbone: hiring pipeline, finance, legal, vendors, internal tooling — whatever needs to exist so the company scales without snapping
• Sitting in customer calls, sales conversations, and engineering reviews because the only way to do this job well is to understand the product as deeply as the people building it

About the role

We're a seven-person team in New York, with $5.1M raised from Y Combinator, Vercel Ventures, Hummingbird, Designer Fund, and others. Interfere is already running in production with design partners, which means the work you ship will immediately help real teams find and fix the failures costing them users today.

What we're looking for

• You've owned commercial or operational work at an early-stage company, run a hard problem in consulting or banking with operator-level rigor, or built something of your own and have evidence of doing it well.
• You can take an ambiguous business problem, define the next useful step, and ship without waiting for someone to tell you the right answer.
• You think in systems and numbers. You can build the model, read the cohort data, and explain what it means in plain English to a room that includes both an engineer and a board member.
• You write clearly. Investor updates, customer narratives, internal docs. Your default is sharp, structured, and short.
• You can hold enough technical depth to talk to engineers without bluffing, understand what Interfere actually does, and help sell something complex, even if you don't write production code yourself.

Nice to have

• Experience at a developer tools, infrastructure, observability, or technical SaaS company
• Have run or materially contributed to a fundraise (seed, Series A, or later)
• Built a go-to-market motion from zero: first customers, first playbook, first hires
• Background in consulting, banking, or investing paired with real operating experience
• Comfort with SQL, light scripting, or whatever it takes to answer your own questions without waiting on someone else
• Exposure to usage-based pricing, bottoms-up adoption, or developer-led growth motions
• Strong signals

How We Work

• We're in person in New York City. The hardest parts of building Interfere, from system design to architecture tradeoffs to taste calls on the product, happen faster and better at a whiteboard with people physically in the same room.
• We measure work, not hours. Time at a desk is a poor proxy for whether work is getting done. But there's a lot to do and genuine urgency to being the category winners. Most people who do well here end up putting in serious hours because the problems are interesting and the upside is real.
• We ship daily, and we ship deliberately. Speed and taste are not in tension here. Every line of code is a choice: we don't let tech debt accumulate because velocity is easier. We write the code we would want to inherit, while still pushing meaningful changes every day.

Compensation and logistics

• Health, dental, and vision
• Visa sponsorship for exceptional international candidates
