Founder's Office — Growth & AI

About the role

Vertexcover Labs is a compact AI engineering studio of six people, and this position is for someone who can operate with a founder’s mindset. The team builds production-grade AI systems such as multi-agent workflows, AI video pipelines, and RAG solutions for clients including Dunzo, Arintra, usemadmen.ai, Springworks, invideo.ai, and rephrase.ai (now part of Adobe).

This is an operations and growth role, not a software engineering position. You will not be expected to write production code or train AI models. Instead, you will create the business systems that keep the engineering bench filled and the client pipeline moving, using AI tools as a multiplier. Since the role is being shaped from scratch, you will help define it as you go.

What you will build

• Talent engine: Create AI-assisted sourcing systems to identify strong engineers early, maintain a structured CRM, and run outreach workflows that convert. Your work should keep the engineering pipeline consistently supplied.
• Sales engine: Build AI-driven workflows to find, research, and qualify companies that are facing technical bottlenecks. Prepare detailed research briefs before outreach, maintain pipeline discipline, and track conversions to support revenue growth.
• Content engine: Convert internal execution into public content that attracts inbound interest. Turn operational workflows into reusable frameworks and document the team’s AI tools and playbooks so the work itself becomes visible externally.

You may use Claude, GPT-based agents, n8n, custom scripts, or any other tools that help you move faster. The goal is not to build an AI product, but to use AI to create operational leverage.

Who this is for

• Professionals with roughly 1 to 3 years of experience in high-ownership roles such as operations, growth, sourcing, business development, or a founder’s office, and who already use AI tools regularly.
• People who naturally think in systems and processes rather than isolated tasks, and who have created automations, outreach sequences, or pipelines that can operate with minimal supervision.
• Candidates who can write clearly and confidently enough to handle communication with candidates and clients from the start.
• Individuals who are energized by building things from scratch and are comfortable working in an undefined, fast-moving environment.
• People who move quickly and prefer execution over over-analysis.

What strong performance looks like

• Within 30 days: the first versions of the talent and sales systems are live, the tools are connected, and the CRM is operational.
• Within 90 days: the process becomes repeatable and generates at least 5 engineering candidates and 10 qualified sales prospects every month, along with the first published content.
• Within 6 months: you have helped bring in 2+ hires and 3+ new client conversations, the internal tools begin driving inbound interest, and you are effectively leading the growth function.

Why this opportunity stands out

You will work directly with the founder and have no management layers between you and decision-making. The role gives full ownership of hiring and revenue pipelines, plus direct exposure to how a high-performing AI studio operates. As the company scales, this role is expected to grow into Head of Ops / Growth.

Compensation

The salary can go up to ₹75,000 per month depending on experience, and there is room for negotiation for candidates with stronger seniority.

Location

Surat, Gujarat, India. This is an on-site role.

Important note

This position is not suited for someone looking to spend their time writing code, building machine learning models, or working only on technical development. The engineering team already covers those responsibilities.
