About Us
We 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 Role
We’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. Your first few months will be a mix of setting up people policies, growing the team and hiring for key positions, and ensuring that new hires have all the tools they need to thrive.This is not a plug-and-play HR role. We’re looking for someone who loves taking ownership, working directly with founders, and blending structure with experimentation.
What You’ll Do
- Build the foundation of our people practices — from hiring and onboarding to growth, performance, and offboarding
- Work with the founders to shape team structure, define roles, and create meaningful career paths
- Lead hiring across product, tech, and design — using your network in India’s product and tech circles to help us find the right people faster
- Design simple, scalable systems that make remote-first work effortless
- Experiment with AI tools to automate repeat work and improve how we run day to day work
- Co-create culture — build rituals, feedback loops, and learning practices that keep us connected even while working remotely
- Handle HR operations, contracts, and compliance — keeping policies up to date and aligned with local laws and our values
- Shape our employer brand — from onboarding experiences to how we show up on LinkedIn
- Manage relationships with external partners — consultants, legal advisors, and tech platforms that support our team
You’ll Thrive Here If You
- Have 5+ years of experience across HR, operations, or people strategy
- Have helped build HR processes in early stages of a tech/ product-led company
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and love setting up new systems
- Are tech-savvy — comfortable with tools like Slack, Notion, ATS platforms, and AI assistants
- Think in systems but act fast — balancing empathy with operational rigor
- Can manage multiple moving parts without getting flustered
- Think people-first: we are an AI+People company and our emphasis is on building the right people policies for our team from the ground up
Bonus
- Have experience across multiple HR verticals — from recruitment to policy design to culture building
Why Alt
- Work with founders who care deeply about people and product
- Shape a company’s DNA from day one
- Experiment with new-age tools (AI, automation, async culture) to reimagine how teams operate
