🚀 Founding Operations

Spur is transforming the software testing landscape—powered by AI and driven by a relentless commitment to delighting customers. Founded by Yale alums with backgrounds from Figma and DeepMind, and backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, First Round Capital, Neo, Pear VC, and Conviction, Spur is reimagining QA from first principles. We’re already enabling some of the fastest-growing engineering teams in the world to accelerate their pace and enhance their user experience.

As our first Operations hire, you'll work directly with our CEO and co-founders, taking ownership of high-impact projects across marketing, sales, and go-to-market (GTM) strategy. This is a high-visibility, high-growth opportunity to get in early and shape how Spur operates day-to-day—while learning what it takes to build a fast-growing startup from scratch.

Staying safe while you apply

Never pay to apply, interview or accept an offer. ROLIVA never asks you for payment to apply to a job.
Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
