People Operations Generalist

Location: Sunnyvale (Onsite)

Compensation: $125,000 – $160,000 base equity


Our client, an innovative Silicon Valley software company in the autonomous systems space, is seeking a People Operations Generalist to join its growing team.


With a strong technical foundation and rapid growth trajectory, this organization is scaling quickly and investing in its People function to support a highly skilled, engineering-driven workforce. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and is excited to help build and refine People Operations at scale.


The Opportunity

This is a hands-on role for a scrappy, detail-oriented operator who enjoys building structure in dynamic environments. You’ll play a key role in developing and optimizing People systems, reporting, and processes—while supporting broader team initiatives as the company continues to grow.


Key Responsibilities

  • Own and enhance people data management, reporting, and analytics to support business decisions
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting frameworks for the People team and leadership
  • Identify opportunities to streamline systems, workflows, and operational processes
  • Ensure compliance with applicable employment laws and internal policies
  • Support the evaluation, implementation, and optimization of People systems
  • Partner cross-functionally to improve data integrity and operational efficiency
  • Provide support across a range of People initiatives and projects on an as-needed basis


Ideal Background

  • 3–4 years of experience in People Operations, HR Operations, or a related function
  • Experience in high-growth environments, ideally spanning both early-stage startups and scaling tech companies
  • Proven ability to build and improve processes in evolving organizations
  • Strong analytical skills with experience in people data, reporting, and dashboards
  • Detail-oriented with a proactive, solutions-driven mindset
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and taking ownership in a fast-paced setting


Culture & Environment

  • High-growth, innovation-driven company (~1,500 employees) with a startup mindset
  • Predominantly engineering and product-focused organization
  • Talent from leading tech companies and disruptive startups
  • Fast-paced, collaborative, and execution-oriented culture
  • Best suited for individuals who are driven, hands-on, and excited to be onsite contributing to rapid growth


This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a scaling organization at the forefront of advanced technology, while helping shape the future of People Operations.
