Niteshift•New York City, NY

About The Position

Niteshift is building a cloud development platform for coding agents, providing isolated cloud environments with the application stack, skills, and context needed for coding tasks. The company was founded by former Datadog engineering leaders and has raised a seed round led by Greylock, Amplify, BoxGroup, and SV Angel. The Chief of Staff is a broad, hands-on role reporting directly to the CEO. The role owns some functions outright and works with the founders on others across go-to-market, operations, finance, legal, and fundraising. The responsibilities will evolve as the company grows, and the Chief of Staff will help hire owners for functions over time. This is an in-person position based in New York City, with work in the office five days a week. The ideal candidate is a high-agency generalist who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from scratch, uses AI tools thoughtfully, communicates clearly, and is comfortable taking ownership of unfamiliar work and executing it directly.
