Lead – People & Culture

Title: Lead – People & CultureLocation: Magrath Road, Bengaluru, IndiaType: Full-timeWork Mode: Hybrid (minimum three days a week in office)About UsWe are working on a platform for users to build their AI mirror called Alt (https://alt.inc/).An Alt understands users’ personality, tonality, decision-making, and knowledge, so it can represent the user in places they can't be or meet people they can’t meet. We envision it as users’ first AI profile on the internet, so they can scale their ability to connect, mentor, and share with others.We’re still early, figuring things out one prototype at a time. But our mission is clear: to make AI deeply personal, human through AI, not human replaced by it.If you’re someone who is curious and excited about AI and wants to build with good people, you’ll probably find your place here.We are funded 🚀 and have offices in Bangalore and Goa 🌴🌞 🌊.About The RoleWe’re hiring our first People & Culture lead — a hands-on builder who can shape how people join, grow, and thrive at Alt, while also running the day-to-day systems that keep things moving.
