AI Summary

About this role
Introducing Moonlake, AI for creating world simulations.
About Moonlake
Moonlake is building the frontier of interactive world models: systems that generate, simulate, and reason over 3D environments for robotics, embodied AI, simulation, gaming, and multimodal agents. We are developing AI-native tooling for creating dynamic worlds where geometry, physics, visuals, audio, and interaction remain coherent in real time.
Our team sits at the intersection of:
Embodied AI
Robotics simulation
Interactive 3D worlds
World models
Real-time generation
AI infrastructure
Moonlake is building the next generation of AI infrastructure for interactive digital worlds. Our mission is to enable anyone to create, simulate, and interact with rich environments using natural language and multimodal inputs, turning simple ideas into worlds with structure, logic, and agents that can perceive and act.
Our team has raised $28M in seed funding from NVIDIA Ventures, Threshold Ventures, AIX ventures and notable angels including Naval Ravikant and Jeff Dean to build the foundational layer for the future of AI - powering everything from creative tools and games to robotics training, simulations, and digital twins. Our goal is to make building and experimenting with these environments as accessible and scalable as publishing video on the internet.
The Role
We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to operate as a high-leverage organizational partner to leadership and help keep the company running efficiently at scale.
This is not a traditional calendar-management-only EA role.
The ideal candidate is:
highly operational,
deeply organized,
proactive,
detail-oriented,
calm under pressure,
and capable of operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
The right person will become deeply embedded in the operating rhythm of the company and help leadership stay focused on execution, hiring, product development, and strategic priorities.
What You’ll Do
Manage complex calendars, scheduling, and meeting coordination
Support leadership with operational execution and prioritization
Coordinate recruiting, candidate, and interview logistics
Organize internal workflows, documentation, and communication
Help drive follow-through across teams and external stakeholders
Manage travel, onsite coordination, and company logistics
Support recruiting and hiring operations where needed
Help improve organizational systems and process efficiency
Ensure leadership teams stay highly organized and responsive
Operate as a trusted execution partner across the organization
What We’re Looking For
Exceptional organizational ability
Extremely high attention to detail
Strong written and verbal communication skills
High responsiveness and reliability
Ability to handle ambiguity and rapid context switching
Strong operational instincts
Calm, professional presence under pressure
Ability to prioritize effectively across competing demands
Comfort working closely with highly technical teams and leadership
Bonus Points
Experience supporting technical founders or AI companies
Startup or hyper-growth company experience
Recruiting coordination experience
Strong systems/process thinking
Ability to improve operational workflows independently
Experience coordinating across engineering or research organizations
Why This Role Matters
Moonlake operates at an extremely fast execution cadence where coordination, organization, and operational reliability are critical.
This role helps leadership:
stay focused,
move faster,
communicate more effectively,
and scale the organization without operational breakdown.
You’ll become part of the operational backbone supporting one of the most ambitious frontier AI companies being built today.
We are committed to being an on-site, in-person team currently based in San Mateo
