About Dust We're creating a new AI operating system that has the potential to change the way companies operate . Our mission at Dust is to transform how work gets done by letting any team and employee shape the exact agents they need to accelerate their work. With 70%+ weekly active users, people stick with Dust as much as they do with Slack and Notion. We already are a core part of their jobs. We're at an exciting stage of our journey and growing fast. We're serving great customers like Cursor, Clay, Whatnot, and Persona, and aim to 5x our growth by the end of 2026. Dust is a Sequoia-backed company with an experienced and determined team of optimists (coming from companies like Stripe and OpenAI) that likes to focus on users, getting great things done by shipping fast, and doesn’t take itself too seriously while doing so. Summary You'll be the operational backbone of our People Ops function, building our People Ops systems, owning the day-to-day execution of HR processes, ensuring pragmatic compliance across France, and supporting our US operations. But this isn't traditional People Ops. You'll reimagine what's possible when you have AI agents at your fingertips. Use Dust daily to automate manual work, surface insights faster, and free up time for what truly matters: building systems that scale and solve complex problems. You'll establish best practices, be the go-to expert for everything from contracts to benefits to compliance, and deliver exceptional experiences for employees from day one through every career milestone at Dust. If you love bringing systems to complexity, obsess over creating a great people experience backed with data, and are genuinely excited about using AI to reimagine how People Ops works, this role is for you. What you'll do Employee Lifecycle & HR Administration Build pragmatic and data-driven systems.

Location We're prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris and San Francisco, because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together. Why Dust We're not building yet another enterprise SaaS tool. We’re creating an AI OS that will fundamentally change how companies operate. We believe existing AI models are powerful enough to have a tremendous impact on the world (and will keep getting better). The key is building the infrastructure so they have the right context, and building the best interfaces for humans to interact with them. We have the unique opportunity to explore and shape the way humans interact with machines while building a product we use ourselves every day. If you're excited about crafting products that reinvent B2B software and want to join a team that combines the best of startup culture with the backing of top-tier investors, we'd love to talk. ???? Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist. ___ Learn how we think and work.
