We are the creators behind AdalFlow, the PyTorch-like library to build and auto-optimize any LM workflows, from Chatbots, RAG, to Agents.

SylphAI’s mission is to create agentic systems that can upskill software engineers into skilled AI/ML engineers in the ai-first engineering area.

Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity.

We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important.

About the Role:

We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff who is not only operationally proficient but also a natural motivator and connector within a high-performance engineering-driven environment. This individual will play a pivotal role in streamlining operations, reinforcing team cohesion, driving sales initiatives, and managing strategic events.

Responsibilities:

  • Operationalize and establish scalable processes and systems to enhance team productivity and alignment.
  • Serve as a critical "connector" internally, ensuring effective communication and alignment across diverse teams.
  • Foster a motivating, engaging culture by identifying team dynamics and supporting individuals to maximize their potential.
  • Drive strategic sales initiatives, partnering with leadership to enhance revenue streams and market positioning.
  • Plan, manage, and execute impactful internal and external events designed to build community, partnerships, and brand recognition.

Who You Are:

  • Highly Organized Operator: You excel in creating clarity from ambiguity, establishing effective systems, and streamlining complex processes.
  • Engineering-minded: With an engineering background, you deeply understand technical teams, workflows, and the demands of an AI-focused environment.
  • Empathetic Motivator: You have a natural ability to inspire and unify diverse teams, building strong internal relationships through genuine empathy and clear communication.
  • Business Savvy: Comfortable in sales environments, you proactively identify and capitalize on opportunities that contribute to the organization's growth.
  • Events Strategist: You understand the power of strategic events in building strong professional communities and relationships.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field preferred.
  • Proven experience in operational roles within fast-paced startups or technology companies.
  • Demonstrated success in team leadership, sales support, and event management.
  • Excellent organizational and project management skills.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • High adaptability, resilience, and proactive problem-solving mindset.

Location:

We work out of SylphAI’s San Francisco office and prefer that candidates are able to relocate to the Bay Area if necessary.

Salary and Equity:

  • Salary: $100k - $150k USD (dependent on location and experience)
  • Equity: 0.3% - 1.0%

Perks and Benefits:

  • Generous equity package to align your success with company growth.
  • Competitive health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • Regular startup community activities, and networking opportunities.
  • Office conveniently located in San Francisco, close to vibrant tech hubs.
  • Flexible working environment with the option to be remote for the right candidate.
