Data Operations Specialist

Constellation is an independent research center that brings together people throughout the AI safety ecosystem to accelerate insight, research, and talent through better cooperation. Unlike a conference or summit, Constellation operates continuously, in the form of a physical workspace as well as conference-style talks, workshops, and training bootcamps. Continuous operation allows for relationships and conversations to develop over time, meaningfully fostering trust, collaboration, and shared insight. It also makes Constellation a natural field-building hub by rapidly inspiring, orienting, and connecting people who are newer to the field.

Based in Berkeley, CA, our shared workspace hosts over 200 people per week across dozens of AI safety organizations in nonprofits, academia, industry, and government. Hundreds of other researchers spend time at Constellation for shorter visits each year. We believe this is the strongest and highest-output network of AI safety researchers in the world; dozens of participants in past Constellation programs have gone on to safety-focused roles at companies such as METR, Redwood Research, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and the US and UK Safety Institutes.

We are seeking an operational and technically-minded Data & Operations Specialist to own day-to-day CRM operations and system integrations at Constellation. You’ll be the person who keeps our data accurate, our automations active, and our integrations running across a variety of systems.

This is a hands-on, technical role with lots of opportunities to collaborate with internal stakeholders across the org. On a typical day, you might debug a broken automation that's generating duplicate records, build a new HubSpot report for a program manager, import a batch of historical event data, or add a new staging model to our data warehouse. You'll report to our data & systems lead and work closely with program managers, operations coordinators, and external contractors.

You might be a good fit if you have:

Nice to have:

You’re motivated to build infrastructure that helps people do important work. You take satisfaction in orderly data and reliable systems. When you see a manual, error-prone process, you want to automate it. You’re comfortable exploring a system you’ve never used before and seeing how it works and what it does. You can translate technical considerations into clear language. You can prioritize across a range of complex problems and stakeholder needs.

The base pay range for this role is $109,000 – $130,000 per year.

Our benefits are hard to beat! They include:

This is a full time, on-site role. Our Berkeley office is a few steps from the nearest BART (metro) and bus stop. On-site parking is also available.

The ideal candidate for this role will have some combination of the skills and experiences described above. If you are not sure if you are qualified, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway. Beyond the qualifications outlined, our priority is building a team that will help humanity safely navigate the development of transformative AI. If you would be excited to do this work, we’d love to consider you.

Submit your resume and answer the application questions. We may use AI to assist in the initial screening of applications, including to detect whether candidates have used AI models in drafting their application. Final hiring decisions are always made by a human in our team.
