Zagreb, Croatia

Hi! We are Martin and Matija, founders of Wasp - a next-generation web framework for building enterprise-grade web apps in the AI era. We’re making developers 10x more effective while building apps like Airbnb, Asana, or Jira.

We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised funds from top US & European VC funds. We raised over $5M, with our latest round closed at the end of 2024.

We're a team of eight engineers seeking a driven candidate with startup experience to streamline processes across different verticals, depending on the priority - hiring, marketing, team, reporting, investor communication, and more.

TL;DR

• work directly with founders in a global, fast-growing startup backed by top-tier VCs in a unique, high-impact role
• play a key role in making Wasp a success and elevate your career. You will learn a lot and use that to fuel the next stage of your career (within or outside of Wasp). We’ll let you choose your own path, support you, and ultimately let you specialise in what you’re the best at.
• finally, you’ll have fun! We’re a cohesive team that cares a lot about our company culture and a healthy work-life balance. We also do a lot of memes and gifs.
• you are: an independent problem-solver with experience working in a semi-structured, high-agency environment such as a startup. You’re not afraid of getting things done and want the impact and flexibility of working in a startup.

What will you do - Responsibilities

We’re looking for an operations-focused individual to help us execute faster and better across all non-technical areas.

You will work with the two founders and everyone else at the company - engineering, and the devrel/marketing team. Your work will be crucial because you will be the enabler, allowing everyone on the team to focus on what they do best.

As we grow Wasp we expect you to grow with us. We envision a successful candidate who would grow into the Head of Operations or a similar senior position.

Operations - a glue that holds the company together

We see Operations as a key function in the company and are incredibly excited about making this hire.

Although work at an early-stage startup varies from small tasks (e.g., ordering office supplies) to high-level strategic initiatives (e.g., running a Series A fundraise), your role is not to become an ad hoc task rabbit but to become an invaluable advisor and partner to the founders.

We will invest in you and your onboarding to the role. You will see the company from the founder’s perspective and learn how we work and think. We expect you to become an equal partner who will challenge us and be the force that propels the whole company forward.

The work - high-level overview

Some tasks will be recurring (and you're more than welcome to automate them), some will be seasonal (e.g., hiring, fundraising), and some will emerge on a one-off basis.

Here is a high-level overview of your responsibilities:

• Own, build, and improve processes and systems across the company. We use Notion as our internal wiki and knowledge base system.
