People Operations Specialist

DensityAI•Mountain View, CA

About The Position

DensityAI builds the AI accelerator silicon powering the next generation of compute. We're roughly doubling headcount over the next 18 months and need a People Operations Specialist to be the operational backbone that growth depends on: onboarding every new hire cleanly, keeping our systems and records accurate, and running benefits and compliance on time. Our processes are young, so this is a build role, not a maintenance one.

Requirements

3+ years in People Operations, HR operations, or HRIS administration at a scaling company
Hands-on HRIS ownership (Rippling, Workday, or similar), including reporting and configuration
Experience running onboarding and administering benefits, ideally in a PEO / co-employment model
Working knowledge of US employment-compliance basics, and strong accuracy instincts
Comfort creating process where none exists, and discretion with confidential data

Responsibilities

Run end-to-end onboarding at volume: offer logistics, background checks, I-9/E-Verify, IT provisioning handoffs, and a consistent day one
Own the HRIS (Rippling) as the system of record: data accuracy, org and reporting structure, lifecycle changes, workflows, and permissions
Produce trustworthy people reporting on a predictable cadence, primarily headcount vs. plan, plus hiring, attrition, and cost
Administer benefits through our Rippling PEO: enrollments, life events, and open enrollment, coordinating with our PEO account team
Manage the Rippling PEO relationship and handle the compliance that stays in-house (I-9, postings, state pay-transparency and leave), keeping data clean for the filings the PEO owns (payroll tax, workers' comp, ACA)
Track work-authorization and immigration status with legal support
Build the repeatable processes that let People Ops scale, and be a first point of contact for routine employee questions
Provide payroll inputs (processed via the PEO) and data support to comp and headcount planning
