About Aeqium
Aeqium is on a mission to build the HCM software for the agentic era. Businesses spend millions on legacy systems to manage their employee data, only to spend millions more on consultants to implement and maintain them, often giving up and using spreadsheets for critical business workflows. Aeqium is the first HCM platform that is directly responsive to its users by providing AI agents that do the implementation work, so that HR leaders can focus on the strategy. We've built our foothold in enterprise compensation planning and have our sights set on expanding across the enterprise HCM ecosystem. We're trusted by enterprises across industries including PwC, IFS, Klaviyo, and Chime.

Our team has significant experience building products and scaling companies, from product-market fit through acquisition/IPO. We're backed by strong VCs and experienced angels. Most importantly, we've experienced the problem that we're solving firsthand and understand it inside and out.

This role is in San Francisco and currently requires at least two days per week in office.
