About Spawn
Spawn is a place where you make multiplayer games. You open it, you're in your world, you build with Savi, our AI collaborator, and you invite your friends. We're an early-stage AI gaming startup in San Francisco: about ten humans, plus a fleet of AI agents that runs much of our operational machinery. Small team, high intensity, unusual leverage.
The role
You'll be the right hand to our founder/CEO. One thing to know up front: our AI agents already handle the mechanics of inbox triage and calendar upkeep. We are not hiring you to move meetings around. We're hiring you to be the judgment layer above the automation. You decide what deserves the CEO's attention, who gets time and who doesn't, and when the machine's defaults are wrong. If working with serious AI leverage sounds like a promotion rather than a threat, keep reading.
What you'll own
- Priorities, not plumbing. Steward the CEO's calendar and inbox outcomes: prioritization, gatekeeping, escalation, and the judgment calls the agents can't make.
- Human scheduling. High-context coordination with investors, candidates, partners, and the team: the negotiations and relationships behind the calendar.
- A founder who runs nights. Defend deep-work time, sequence his days (and nights) sanely, and keep the rest of the world, which runs on daylight, synced to him.
- Travel and personal logistics. End-to-end trips, plus the personal-life logistics that keep a founder operating.
- Meeting prep and follow-through. Briefs before, capture and chase-down after. Things you touch don't drop.
- Vendor and expense support. Light ops: approvals, subscriptions, reimbursements, keeping the books clean with our finance help.
You
- 2–5+ years as an EA, ideally supporting a founder or C-level directly at a startup.
- Discretion by default. You'll see everything: fundraising, hiring, personal.
- Async-fluent: crisp writer, great over Slack and docs, comfortable when your principal's hours don't match yours.
- Genuinely comfortable using AI tools daily. You'll direct our agent stack, not fight it.
- Calm under ambiguity; you build the process where none exists.
Logistics
- Employment type: Full-time
- Location: San Francisco preferred. Remote works for the right person (the team runs night-shifted and async-heavy, so presence is about responsiveness, not a desk)
- Compensation: $135–155k base + equity; health benefits
- Start: ASAP, ideally within 2 weeks
