HR and Operations Generalist

Salary Range: 115000 to 145000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

What We Value:

• Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your work. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
• Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work.
• Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual automation.
• Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
• Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
• Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
• Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work.

What You'll Do:

• Onboarding & Offboarding: Own the end-to-end onboarding experience for new hires in the US and international team members (EOR). You’ll ensure every "Mashgin-er" feels welcomed, equipped, and ready to contribute from Day 1.
• The Compliance Guardian: Maintain and update the Employee Handbook and company policies. You’ll keep a pulse on labor laws and compliance tracking to ensure we are protected as we scale.
• Employee Support: Act as the first point of contact for employee inquiries regarding benefits, payroll, and general company policies. You’ll be the friendly face of HR that people turn to for help.
• Manager Enablement: Partner with managers to navigate employee lifecycle events, including leaves of absence, promotions, and internal transfers, providing the administrative and tactical support they need to lead effectively.
• Process Optimization: Constantly look for ways to automate or improve our internal People processes. Whether it’s streamlining our HRIS data or improving our benefits enrollment flow, you’re always looking for a better way.
