About The Position

Eventual is a startup founded in 2022 that is building infrastructure for Physical AI, which is trained on petabytes of video, lidar, radar, and sensor data. Their open-source engine, Daft, is designed for multimodal AI. Eventual aims to make it cheaper to index and understand video data compared to manual annotation.

They are looking for individuals to join their small, powerful team, working 4 days a week in their SF Mission District office.

Requirements

2-5 years of high-ownership work — Chief of Staff, business operations, strategy and operations, or early go-to-market at a startup, or consulting, banking, or VC followed by an operating role.
A degree in a quantitative, technical, or business field is common on this path.
Broad operating range across planning, metrics, contracts, vendors, and hiring, and comfort moving between them in a single day.
Comfortable with commercial and legal detail — you can read an MSA, work with outside counsel, and hold your own on a customer or partner call.
Clear writing and clear thinking — your memos and decks are good enough to send as-is, and a vague problem comes back from you as a recommendation.
Technically literate enough to follow what our engineers are building and explain it to a customer. You don’t need to write code.

Nice To Haves

Time at a data infrastructure, developer tools, or AI infrastructure company, or familiarity with the GPU cloud ecosystem.
Exposure to Physical AI — autonomous vehicles, robotics, or ADAS — and a sense of what those teams work on day to day.
Experience taking open source to a commercial business, or developer marketing, launches, and events you ran yourself.
Enterprise procurement and security reviews, or a Series A or B raise you helped run from the inside.
A bachelor's degree, or higher, in business administration, management, or a related field

Responsibilities

Own the operating cadence end-to-end: planning, company goals and metrics, board and investor materials, and the written decisions that keep a small team pointed in the same direction.
Sit in on customer, partner, and GPU cloud conversations with the CEO — and run them yourself when the CEO can’t — carrying each to an outcome rather than a summary.
Step into the functional seat we haven’t hired yet, whether that’s sales or marketing in a given quarter, then build the motion behind it so the eventual hire inherits a system instead of anecdotes.
Own contracts and the legal path: act as the internal counterpart to outside counsel and carry deals through procurement and security review so engineers stay on product.
Pick up the ambiguous cross-functional problem — pricing, a partner program, the first go-to-market hires — drive it to a decision, and hand it off or hire against it, complementing our business operations function rather than duplicating it.
