Palo Alto, United States Playground Global Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Playground Global is a leading early-stage venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, with $1.2B+ under management. We specialize in investing in revolutionary companies whose cutting-edge products are poised to drive the next wave of economic and human development. Areas of active investment include: next-gen compute, engineered biology, decarbonization (energy, materials science, agriculture), aerospace, robotics, and related frontier technologies.

The appetite for computing grows exponentially while the technology to deliver it lags. We focus on finding new kinds of classical computing to fill the gap, as Moore's Law concludes. Playground's Next-Gen Compute portfolio includes PsiQuantum, NextSilicon, Ayar Labs, Mosaic, d-Matrix, and more.  

We seek an investor who wants to work at the forefront of computing with unparalleled learning and professional development opportunities. Our ideal candidate is not only someone who is highly technical but also a deep thinker, an enthusiastic self-starter, and a risk taker.

Responsibilities

  • Your primary responsibilities will be to source and evaluate new investments.

  • Invest in and contribute to building portfolio companies shaping the future of sustainability and innovation. 

  • As part of your role, you will be exposed to various facets of venture capital, including developing investment theses, conducting financial analysis, providing support to portfolio companies, participating in investment decision-making, and contributing to fundraising efforts. 

  • As a member of the investment team, you will gain broad exposure to and the ability to learn from GPs, other investment professionals, and Venture and Operating partners with deep domain expertise. 

Qualifications

  • You hold a degree in computer science, electrical or computer engineering, math, or physics.

  • You have experience shipping a technical product as an engineer or a product manager.

  • You have at least one year of investing experience, preferably at a Venture Capital firm.

  • You have excellent written and verbal communication.

  • You identify with Playground Values:

    • Intellectually curious and practical

    • Collaborative and ambitious

    • Thrive on building something worthwhile regardless of the challenge

  • Able to work 3+ days a week @ Playground’s Palo Alto HQ

The annual base salary range is $150,000 to $200,000. The base salary will depend on numerous factors such as experience, knowledge, and skills. We offer a competitive performance bonus plan based on individual performance and company success.
