People Success

bout BiteSpeed- Hey there We are a Sequoia backed SaaS startup on a mission to help e-commerce brands embrace conversational commerce as the future of selling online.- Currently, 2000+ Shopify brands across 50+ countries use BiteSpeed to drive 20%+ revenue doing everything from Whatsapp marketing to chatbots & handling support across channels.- About the role- “A company is not the plan it makes, but the people it hires” - Vinod Khosla, founder of Sun Microsystems summed it up well.- We are obsessed about talent density at BiteSpeed and this role is about enabling the folks we’ve gotten onboard to become the best version of themselves while also being a support backbone for the entire company :).- We want to be extremely intentional about how we build our people function. We don’t want our people function be merely a ‘value protection’ function as it is in most companies. While we will of course take care of the basics, we want our people function to be deeply value additive to helping each individual in the team do the best work of their lives.- What you’ll do- Tl;dr being an invisible support layer for the entire company as we scale from 20 to 50 people within a year, doing everything we can to help people reach their potential- End-to-end hiring from sourcing across channels to doing interviews across functions, funnelling the best folks to functional leads- Managing onboarding for new team members, everything it takes to make the new folks comfortable & kicked to get started from paperwork to onboarding checklists & even sending some cool BiteSpeed swag to welcome them- Managing employee data & compliances for things like health insurances, salary slips so they don't have to worry about this- Assisting in payroll management & reimbursements, basically getting everyone paid on time (we tried the work for free model & didn’t quite work out)- Overseeing all people operations - from picking the right gifts on occasions for the team to planning our quarterly offsites & even managing our inventory (read: Macbooks)- Regular one-on-ones with the team to understand how they’re doing personally & professionally, enabling them to become successful by teaming up with peers & managers- What makes you a good fit- You like the challenge of taking BiteSpeed from total chaos to less chaos as we scale from 20 to 50 employees, with smart processes & diligent execution- You have 2+ years of experience driving the people function at a slightly larger startup (30+ employees)- You’re a people custodian, it’s all about people for you & you get a kick out of creating a workspace with enviable talent density- Salary and Location- Location: Bangalore- Expected CTC: We pay top of market for the right folks and also offer generous equity (ESOP) to everyone in the team- Over time we’ve realised that while we’re super excited about shaping the future of commerce, a big part of why people join us and stick with us is because they resonate with our way of life. You could call it work culture - but it ends up becoming more than just that.- It’s taken us time to discover and articulate what our culture feels like, this evolving document is an attempt to candidly share what it’s like working at BiteSpeed.- Our Purpose- At BiteSpeed, work is personal. You could blame this on us being existential, but most of us are spending the best years of our lives doing this and we want to be purposeful about the kind of workplace we’re trying to create. Our purpose is about why we’re here and what we care about:

- Personal Transformation- Wealth Creation- Winning Together- Our Values- Our values are about how we do what we do. Values define the right thing to do. We hire, reward and sometimes have to let go based on our values. We have 5 core values:
