The posting, as Ambient.ai wrote it

Build a safer world with us, one incident at a time.

Ambient.ai is the category creator and leader in Agentic Physical Security. Powered by Ambient Pulsar, the first reasoning Vision-Language Model purpose-built for physical security, our platform seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and physical access control systems to unify monitoring, access control, threat assessment, response, and investigations through an always-on reasoning layer that augments security operators with superhuman capabilities. The results: 95% fewer false alarms, investigations 20x faster, and 10x faster response.

The momentum speaks for itself: we doubled new ARR in FY26, and have delivered results for world-class customers including Cisco, ServiceNow, SentinelOne, TikTok, Bayer, and MoMA. That kind of momentum creates an environment where great people thrive, and it shows: we recently ranked #71 out of 500 on the Forbes best startup employers list https://www.forbes.com/lists/americas-best-startup-employers/.

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is on a fast-paced journey to fulfill our mission: prevent every security incident possible.

WORKPLACE & TALENT SPECIALIST

As our Workplace & Talent Specialist, you’ll be a key operator behind the scenes at Ambient—helping run our Redwood City office and creating an environment where employees can do their best work, candidates have exceptional experiences, and our leadership team can move quickly.

This role is ideal for an experienced operator who’s ready to bring their skills to a fast-growing tech company. You’ve run an office, supported executives, and coordinated candidate interviews. This is for someone who wants a role where they can own all three and shape how we scale.

You'll work closely with People, Recruiting, Finance, IT, and company leadership, while serving as a trusted point of contact for employees, candidates, customers, and visitors. It's a role where you'll have real ownership and room to grow the scope of the role as Ambient scales.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Workplace & Office Operations

• Own the workplace experience: Keep our Redwood City office organized, welcoming, and always client-ready. Greet candidates, customers, and guests with warmth and professionalism. Provide remote support for our India office and team members.
• Create an exceptional Day 1: Own new hire onboarding from start to finish, including equipment, desk setup, access, and swag, so every new employee feels welcome and ready to contribute.
• Build culture through experiences: Plan company events and celebrations, manage company swag, and lead the Anniversary Recognition Program.
• Manage vendors, budgets, and safety: Oversee office vendors and expenses with Finance to find savings.

learning and growing as a company.

This pace and level of ownership energize people motivated by a mission with real-world stakes. It also means the role isn't for everyone — we'd rather you pressure-test fit in the interview process than discover it six months in.

AI FLUENCY AT AMBIENT

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at Ambient, not a specialty. In practice, that means every team member is expected to use AI to accelerate and rethink their own craft — not just automate small tasks around the edges.

At Ambient, AI fluency means you operate among the top performers in your function in how you apply AI to:

• Accelerate repeatable workflows
• Structure and work through ambiguous problems
• Improve the quality of your output, not just its speed
• Increase your personal leverage and your team's

Applied AI fluency is evaluated as part of the interview process.

JOIN OUR MISSION

At Ambient, we're on a mission to prevent every security incident possible. We're looking for people who want their work to matter, who bring an owner's mindset, and who take pride in helping build the best security company in the world.

If you're excited by Ambient's mission but don't check every box on this posting, we encourage you to apply anyway — we're looking for culture add, not just culture fit: people who share our values and also bring something new to the team.
