Roles to start with in San Francisco.
San Francisco and the Bay Area are built around software, AI, venture-funded start-ups and biotech. Teams are lean, move fast and compete for scarce engineers, so the routine work around the product is often what slips. Companies here raise money, hire fast and change direction often, so the work that supports them has to flex too.

Questions from San Francisco
San Francisco is a city in California. It keeps Pacific Time (PST or PDT), which is UTC−8 or UTC−7. San Francisco changes its clocks for daylight saving, so the overlap with some of our hubs moves by an hour for part of the year.
Outbound prospecting, support tickets, testing and reporting. A Sales Development Representative or QA Tester works in your tools and reports to whoever runs the team.
Yes. AI Automation Specialist, AI Engineer and Data Annotation roles are available, tested and leveled. Tell us the stack on your demo.
A Research Assistant gathers papers and tidies notes, and a Data Analyst prepares tables and charts from the data you provide. Your scientists keep the interpretation.
Seats are month to month with 30 days' notice and no setup fee, so you can add one person now and more after a raise. Part-time Seats start from the minimum weekly hours.
You set the hours. The Colombia hub shares 5-6 hours of a San Francisco 9-to-5, and we match people who can work earlier or later.
Product vision, architecture decisions and customer calls that need a founder. A Seat takes the repeatable work around them.
An AI Automation Specialist wires up workflows in the tools you already use and documents each one. Your team owns the logic and any access keys.
A local admin in the US costs US$16 an hour at entry level, up to US$45.38 for a senior executive assistant, before benefits and payroll taxes. A local mid-level admin costs US$22.86 an hour; an Intermediate admin Seat is US$9 an hour, all-in. (BLS OEWS pay for admin assistants and executive assistants, May 2025. National figures for the US, not San Francisco wages.)
A Financial Analyst or Bookkeeper can keep books and metrics current and prepare the monthly pack. Your finance lead reviews before it goes out.
Fundraising rounds, product launches and the autumn conference season all stretch small teams. A Seat can take support, prospecting and testing so founders stay on the product and the investors.
Week one is tool access and one clearly bounded task, such as a prospect list or a test plan. By week three the person owns a recurring piece of work and reports on it every week.
List your repository host, ticketing tool, CRM, data warehouse and automation tools, for example GitHub, Linear, HubSpot or Zapier. We match people who already work in them, and you decide the permissions each person gets.
A Sales Development Representative is often followed by a Customer Success Manager, then a Data Analyst. Engineering teams add a QA Tester before a second developer.

No. We're a remote team that works on your hours, and every call and demo is on Teams. Our head office is in Melbourne.
We do. We hire your person and supply them to you under our services agreement, so you are not their employer and there is no payroll on your side. You direct the work and you own what they make.
