Schedule & Expectations

This is a full-time, primarily on-site position in San Francisco with core weekday hours.

The role requires flexibility and a 24/7 mindset — not working around the clock, but being reachable and responsive when an important need arises outside of standard business hours.

Occasional travel with the family will also be required.

This is a dedicated full-time position and is not compatible with concurrent employment, freelance clients, or an ongoing side business.
