Today, we’re leveraging Ai and gamification to build a vertical platform that is centered around improving the safety readiness of frontline workers in any high risk industry. If you are a doer who thrives in a dynamic, mission-focused environment, join us!

Who are we looking for?

Pixaera builds immersive, gamified simulations that help frontline teams learn critical safety skills in realistic environments. As we scale our product and customer base, we’re investing in the next phase of our People function to support continued growth, strong culture, and operational excellence.

The People Lead will help evolve and scale a thoughtful, well-run People function that supports Pixaera’s growth, culture, and operational integrity. This role owns the end-to-end people lifecycle, ensures strong operational hygiene, and partners closely with leadership to create clarity, consistency, and accountability as the company scales.

This is a hands-on, builder role. You will design the foundation, operate the systems, and continuously improve how people processes work day to day.
