DS creates systems that power the next generation of radio spectrum intelligence. We collect radio data from all over the world, train neural networks to decipher it, and run them on the smallest chips we can. We’re solving a new, technically hard problem where nothing from other fields works out of the box, and along the way, we’ve built our own stack from scratch, including entirely new embedding model architectures, custom GPU kernels, and much more.

This year we’ve done 8-figure revenue, tripled our headcount, and raised a $25M Series A led by Sarah Guo (Conviction), Akhil Iyer (Shield Capital), and Nat Friedman (NFDG). We’re using it to invest in new research and to grow our small, New York-based team across engineering, research, and product.

Joining DS means owning major parts of a fast-growing AI research organization, joining a collaborative, talent-dense team with decades of experience in probabilistic ML, accelerated computing, embedded systems, and signal theory, and growing your career in the areas that interest you. You’ll fit in if you want to come to work for the problem itself and don’t want to choose between technical rigor, business value, and real-world impact. We work with high ownership and trust, and we do it together in the office 5 days/week.

About the Role

As our Office Manager, you’ll own all aspects of our workspace ensuring the office runs smoothly, is a place where people genuinely enjoy spending time, and that the team has everything they need to move fast. You’ll play a key role in keeping operations efficient, reliable, and enjoyable.

This role is perfect for someone who’s detail-oriented, resourceful, and takes pride in running an environment that just works. You’ll collaborate closely with our leadership and serve as the go-to person for office logistics, vendor coordination, and employee experience.

  • Track office vendors (cleaning, deliveries, maintenance) and ensure timely service

  • Support company travel arrangements (flights, cars, hotels) and offsite logistics

  • Manage supplies and tool requests; monitor and replenish essentials proactively

Employee Experience

  • Ownership of outcomes – You optimize your own time, focus on what matters to deliver quickly, and cut out inefficiencies.
