At Laelaps AI, we believe robotics is entering a transformative decade, much like the arrival of the internet. Advances in AI, cloud computing, and hardware are reshaping what autonomous systems can do. Our mission is to build the intelligent software that powers physical security in the real world - enabling robots and sensors to handle dangerous and critical tasks that humans shouldn't have to. By engineering the orchestration layer for intelligent security, we aim to create a world that is safer, more secure, and more resilient.
We're a strong founding team based in Zurich, backed by visionary investors and advisors. We are engineering the future of security today!
As our Office & Operations Manager, you will be the person who keeps everything around the building of the product running smoothly. We are a small, fast-moving founding team, and right now the founders handle invoices, travel bookings, HR paperwork, and office logistics between customer visits and product sprints. Every hour they spend on admin is an hour not spent on customers and product. That is where you come in.
This is a part-time role at roughly 20%, one day per week in our Zurich office, with light async availability in between for anything urgent. It suits someone who wants a focused, well-scoped role alongside other commitments: a portfolio of part-time roles, studies, family, or a business of your own. You will have real ownership from day one. There is no ops department above you and no playbook waiting for you; you build the routines, pick the tools, and make the trains run on time.
We are looking for a doer who takes quiet pride in things simply working. You see a stack of unsorted invoices as a problem you can eliminate for good, not a task to survive weekly. You are comfortable being the only ops person in a room of engineers, you ask questions when something is unclear, and you close loops without being reminded. Discretion matters: you will handle contracts, salaries, and paperwork that stay confidential.
