Category-defining tech. Career-defining work. For more than a decade, Cockroach Labs has built database technology trusted to power some of the world's most mission-critical applications. Now, as AI transforms how software is created and operated, the infrastructure behind it has to keep pace. Cockroach Continuum is built to meet this moment, bringing individual databases together into one fleet designed for agentic applications, where AI agents help teams provision, scale, and optimize workloads at machine speed. At Cockroach Labs, you’ll help build the systems, programs, and operating foundation behind a category-defining company. You’ll work alongside people who think deeply, move with purpose, and understand that how we scale matters as much as how quickly we do it. The people who thrive here are the ones who want to own that opportunity. The Role Cockroach Labs is hiring an Executive Assistant to support our CEO. This is a high-trust role that requires someone who is organized, reliable, proactive, and deeply service-minded. You'll keep the CEO running smoothly, managing a complex calendar, coordinating travel, handling logistics for meetings and events, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You're someone who takes genuine pride in the craft of great executive support. You're thorough, calm under pressure, and you anticipate what's needed before being asked. You thrive in a fast-moving environment, build strong relationships across the company, and hold confidentiality as a non-negotiable standard. Everything that touches the CEO's office reflects on it, and you hold a high bar for how things look, read, and land, whether that's a calendar invite, a travel itinerary, or a note drafted on someone's behalf. You must be based in New York City to be eligible for this role, and will be expected to go into our office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays with additional days as needed based on the CEO's schedule.

You know the recurring meetings, the key stakeholders, and the basics of how the CEO likes to work. You are in the calendar and handling day-to-day scheduling with confidence. By day 60, you have taken full ownership of calendar management and travel coordination. You are anticipating needs, not just responding to them. You have built working relationships with the leadership team and key cross-functional partners, and people know they can count on you. By day 90, you are running independently. You have a clear picture of the CEO's priorities and use that context to make good decisions about time and sequencing. You have identified at least one or two areas where you can improve how the office operates and have started making those improvements.
