People OperationsHuman Resources

At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale.

With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we’re at a stage where we’re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.

Today, our platform includes LangSmith (Observability, Evaluation, Deployment, Fleet, and Sandboxes), our open source frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents), and the newly launched LangSmith Engine for autonomous agent improvement. We have 100M+ monthly open source downloads, 6,000+ active LangSmith customers, and 5 of the Fortune 10 use LangSmith in production (+ 35% of the Fortune 500 overall), including teams at Klarna, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, LinkedIn, Monday.com, Nvidia, and Bridgewater.

About the Role

~1 min read

LangChain is scaling fast. Our People function is lean by design and high-leverage by necessity. We don't run People Ops the way most companies do. We build operational systems that compound, automate the sludge, and keep the team focused on work that actually moves the company forward.

We're looking for a Head of People Operations to own the People Ops function end-to-end. This is the person who architects and runs the infrastructure every employee relies on: compliance, HRIS, benefits, leave programs, global employment, policy, and the automations that make all of it work without constant manual intervention.

You'll report to the VP of People. You'll have real scope and real authority. As we scale, you'll build a small team of ops coordinators under you. What you won't have is a 20-person HR function to route through. This is a build role.
