About the role
- I (Eric) am looking for a chief of staff.
- This role is incredibly intensive, and your main goal will be to make me and the leadership team more effective, however you possibly can.
- You will do ridiculously high volumes of unglamorous work (e.g., high volume follow-ups, drafting internal/external comms, recruiting coordination, logistics, and driving projects that don't fit neatly anywhere else).
Responsibilities
- Goodfire is a research company using interpretability to understand, learn from, and design AI systems.
- You don't need to be a researcher, but you should be technically fluent enough to engage deeply with AI/product discussions, learn interpretability concepts quickly, and build real intuition over time.
Requirements
- You'll need excellent judgment and discretion, and the ability to represent me and the company internally and externally.
Nice to have
- Former founder or exec at high performing VC-backed startup (Series A or later)
- Experience working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment
- Experience with interpretability techniques and tooling for AI models
- Strong understanding of the field of AI and mechanistic interpretability
- Put mission and team first
- We trust each other, deeply care about the success of the organization, and choose to put our team above ourselves.
- Improve constantly
- We proactively critique ourselves and others in a kind and thoughtful way that translates to practical improvements in the organization.
Compensation
- The expected salary range for this position is $300,000 - $500,000 USD
Benefits
- This role offers market competitive salary, equity, and competitive benefits.
- Goodfire is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco with a team of the world's top interpretability researchers and engineers from organizations like OpenAI and DeepMind.
Company info

- Improve constantly We are constantly looking to improve every piece of the business.
- Where we work We are hiring for this position in our San Francisco HQ.
