Investor - AI Infrastructure and Software

Headline is a global venture capital firm with approximately $4 billion in assets under management, backing category leaders including Mistral AI, Segment, and Sonos through highly data-driven investment strategies and proprietary technology tools such as EVA and ATHENA.

The firm is seeking a technical Investor for its San Francisco team with a specific focus on early-stage AI infrastructure, developer tools, and agentic systems. This role is designed for candidates who are both investors and builders: you will conduct traditional venture capital sourcing and diligence while simultaneously developing proprietary AI-powered tools and data pipelines that give Headline a competitive sourcing edge.

As Investor, you will source and engage over 15 founders weekly across AI infrastructure, developer tooling, and agentic systems, identifying breakout investment opportunities early. You will conduct rigorous technical deep-dives and founder calls, synthesizing complex architectures into sharp, actionable investment theses for the partner team. In parallel, you will develop and deploy custom AI automations, data pipelines, and market maps to improve the firm proprietary sourcing systems and internal deal flow.

The ideal candidate has 1-3 years of experience in high-output environments such as early-stage AI startups, technical product roles, or high-velocity early-career venture capital. A technical degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or Mathematics is expected, along with a demonstrated ability to build and ship real-world software products. You are AI-native, regularly building with LLMs and modern development workflows, and comfortable evaluating model serving, vector databases, and complex orchestration frameworks.
