About the position

CockroachDB was built to survive anything: node failures, network partitions, regional outages. For over a decade it has been the database of choice for companies running mission-critical applications that cannot go down. That foundation is what positions us to lead in the AI era, and it's what makes this an exceptional moment to be part of the company building it. What makes a high-growth technology company work isn't just the product — it's the people and teams that keep everything running and moving forward. At Cockroach Labs, you'll work alongside sharp, driven people across every part of the business, with real visibility into how a company at this stage operates and grows. The people who thrive here are the ones who take ownership of their work and want to be part of building something that lasts. 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.
