Co-Founder, COO - Amoeba AI
Forum Ventures
Associate director job in San Francisco, CA
Amoeba is building what the industry has been missing for more than a decade: a neuro-symbolic AI engine that transforms raw business data into governed, causal, and explainable intelligence. Built on the founder's MIT PhD thesis, Amoeba is the world's first neuro-symbolic BI engine - redefining how enterprises interpret pipeline, revenue signals, and growth levers.
Surface causal patterns in their pipeline,
Analyze GTM efficiency with precision,
Model scenarios, interventions, and experiments, and
Operationalize decisions with confidence and explainability.
We have strong early validation, lighthouse customers, and a technical architecture that is years ahead of the market. As we enter the next stage of commercialization, we are expanding our founding team with a strategic Co-Founder / COO to lead customer development, customer success, operational rigor, and the transformation of Amoeba's insights engine into a repeatable business.
Role Overview
This is a strategic, company-defining role for a former founder or senior operator who understands how to build a category, not just a product.
You will serve as the chief architect of Amoeba's customer experience and operating model, turning a breakthrough neuro-symbolic technology into a reliable, scalable, high-trust enterprise solution.
Your mandate spans three areas:
Strategic Customer Development: Shape what the market truly needs and validate the foundations of category creation.
Customer Success & Value Realization: Ensure every customer experiences measurable, narrative-ready business impact.
Operational Scale: Build the systems, rhythms, processes, and organizational muscle that turn early PMF into a scalable company.
This role is not about “running operations.” It is about building the OS of a new category.
Why This Role Matters
Amoeba is at a pivotal moment:
The technology is differentiated and defensible.
Customers are engaged and seeing value.
The category is nascent but inevitable.
What We're Looking For
A former founder or senior operator who has built or scaled from early PMF to $10M+ ARR.
A track record in customer development, customer success, and complex technical sales.
Deep understanding of GTM strategy, revenue operations, or business intelligence.
A builder who leads with empathy, transparency, and embraces intellectual curiosity and growth.
Compensation & Ownership
Co-founder-level equity (significant and long-term)
Competitive salary for an early-stage leadership role
Full ownership over Customer Development, Success, and Operations
Meaningful influence over strategy, product, narrative, and culture
Amoeba recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected statuses as required by applicable law. Amoeba's dedication to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, equity, and inclusion is more than a commitment-it is the foundation of what we do. And thus we strongly encourage people from ALL backgrounds to apply for this position. Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the US. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
