Instawork is on a mission to create meaningful economic opportunities for skilled hourly professionals in communities around the globe. Our AI-powered labor marketplace helps local businesses scale, and enables global technology companies to push the frontiers of robotics and AI. Backed by world-class investors like Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock, Y Combinator, and others, we’re looking for exceptional talent to reimagine the way the world works.
This role sits inside the war room of Instawork’s robotics labs and works directly on robotics development and scale-up—covering field execution, ops, data workflows, and internal tooling. You’ll see how extremely fast-paced startups are built: cross-functional, messy, and execution-first.
What You’ll Do- Travel frequently for on-ground robotics execution, QA, and ops.
- Represent the Founder’s Office with authority and drive outcomes.
- Own Excel / Google Sheets that run real workflows—trackers, models, dashboards.
- Build scrappy internal tools, automations, and scripts (vibe coding > perfection).
- Drive cross-functional follow-ups and close loops end-to-end.
- Have organised a college fest / large campus event (core organising team).
- Extremely strong Excel / Google Sheets skills.
- Comfortable being authoritative in high-pressure environments.
- Willingness to travel and operate at high intensity.
- Bias for action; no dependence on step-by-step instructions.
- Someone who wants to learn how extremely fast-paced startups are built.
- Operators seeking cross-functional exposure (ops × product × data × field).
- Future founders / 0→1 builders who want real responsibility early.
- People who thrive in ambiguity and execution chaos.
- If you’ve never run a large event end-to-end.
- If you need structure before acting.
- If you avoid accountability or tough conversations.
- If you want a calm, predictable role.
- Direct access to founder-level decision making.
- Real authority—not shadowing or note-taking.
- Exposure to live robotics scale-up in production.
- Steep learning curve and accelerated growth.
- PPO / long-term role potential for exceptional performers.
Location: Bangalore (travel required)
