About You

We are looking for a People Operations Partner to own and optimize key people programs across both strategy and execution. This position reports into our Senior Manager, People, partnering most closely with G&A while serving as a cross-functional resource across the business to drive operational excellence and a seamless employee experience. This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco, CA office (2+ days/week).

You're ideal for this role if you thrive on switching between high-level planning and hands-on execution, with a passion for leveraging data and owning programs from inception to completion. You bring playbooks from past experience, yet aren't afraid to build from scratch when the situation calls for it. You also embrace Gen AI tools and actively look for ways to use them to streamline workflows, reduce manual work, and free up time for higher-impact work.

The Day-to-Day

• Own our onboarding and offboarding programs end-to-end — from back-end process design to employee-facing experience — and deliver quarterly insights to leadership
• Leverage Gen AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, and emerging HR tech) to automate repetitive processes, improve documentation, and scale people programs efficiently
• Own and continuously improve HRIS system administration, including configuration, data integrity, internal reporting, and user support — serving as the primary point of contact for system-related questions and escalations
• Serve as the primary owner of our vendor relationships, including our payroll provider, benefits carriers, and Employer of Record (EOR) partners — managing contracts, performance, escalations, and benefits invoice reconciliation
• Lead payroll processing in close partnership with Accounting/Finance, including reconciliation, audit, and month-end close support
• Manage Leave of Absence (LOA) administration across all states, including coordination with employees, managers, and relevant agencies, ensuring a compliant, consistent, and employee-centered experience
• Ensure VSCO's people practices comply with federal and multi-state legal requirements — including registration, notices, required postings, and regulatory changes — proactively identifying risk and driving remediation across employees and contractors
• Own VSCO's compensation processes including salary band reviews, compensation adjustments, and equity refreshes — partnering cross-functionally to ensure consistency and fairness
• Act as a key contributor to cultural initiatives including company All Hands, in-person activities, swag programs, and other engagement efforts
• Partner regularly with our DEI Committee to provide operational support and guidance for company-wide programs
• Partner with Marketing to maintain and evolve our employer branding program

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of relevant experience in a People Operations, HR Generalist, or similar role with demonstrated ownership of core HR functions
• Proven experience managing payroll end-to-end, including vendor management, reconciliation, and close partnership with Accounting/Finance
• Hands-on experience managing EOR relationships, contractors, and a distributed workforce — across engagement types including 1099, EOR, and staffing agencies — including onboarding, offboarding, compliance, and ongoing relationship management
• Experience administering benefits programs, including invoice reconciliation, open enrollment, and carrier management
• Experience managing LOAs (FMLA, state leave, medical, parental) across multiple jurisdictions
• Demonstrated experience applying federal and multi-state employment law knowledge and driving compliance work independently
• Working knowledge of modern compensation best practices, including salary benchmarking and equity management
• Experience managing and optimizing HR systems (HRIS, payroll platforms, or similar), including configuration, data integrity, and user support
• Experience turning data from multiple systems into clear insights and recommendations
• Demonstrated ability to develop employee experience programs that enhance engagement and retention
• Willingness and ability to leverage Gen AI tools to improve people processes, automate repetitive work, and free up capacity for higher-impact work
• High degree of discretion and confidentiality in handling sensitive employee information, compensation data, and organizational matters

Nice to Haves

• Experience as an HRBP or in a strategic HR partnership capacity — candidates with this background will be strongly considered
• Demonstrated use of Gen AI tools to improve or automate people processes
• Experience supporting talent operations or recruiting (sourcing, coordination, or programs)
• Experience with Paylocity and/or Sapling
• SHRM-CP, PHR, or equivalent certification

About The Role

If you are passionate about React Native development and excited to join a dynamic team of creators, we encourage you to apply for this position and help us empower creators worldwide. At VSCO, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with talented individuals who share your passion for innovation and creativity. We're building an ecosystem of end-to-end tools for photographers, enhancing our existing product while creating entirely new tools and services. This is a crucial role for someone who will help define and drive that vision forward, shaping the way our users create, connect and earn. Join us in shaping the future of mobile, desktop and web technology and making a meaningful impact on the global creative community.

As a Staff Engineer, you are first and foremost a technologist. You'll be in the trenches with the team in terms of writing code, solving hard problems, and staying current with the latest technologies. But your impact goes beyond individual contributions. You'll act as a technical leader who guides the team through complex challenges, champions best practices, and anticipates what's coming around the corner so the team can stay ahead. You think about scalability, long-term maintainability, and future features — even while the rest of the team is focused on shipping today's work. You'll mentor engineers, raise the bar on quality, and enable others' success.

The Day to Day

• Lead the development of high-quality, scalable React Native applications. Push for rigorous testing, solid CI practices, and high standards across the codebase.
• Collaborate on and own decision making on forward-thinking architectural decisions. Align technical choices with company goals, and be pragmatic enough to choose the faster path when the business demands it. Watch for what is coming down the pike in React Native development.
• Mentor and elevate the team: guide engineers through tricky bugs, design decisions, and architectural trade-offs. Coach, teach, and create space for others to grow.
• Drive code quality through PR reviews, pushing work toward completion in an encouraging way. Your critical feedback motivates authors to improve their work and reach approval.
• Champion AI-assisted development. You’ve used AI tools extensively in your own workflow and actively mentor others to adopt them. You see AI as a multiplier for the team's velocity and quality.
• Collaborate across the organization: work closely with Product, Design, and business stakeholders. Translate complex technical concepts into clear language for non-technical audiences.
• Willing to blur the lines: you are willing to step outside your defined role when the work demands it. Whether it's jumping into an unfamiliar part of the stack or pitching in on cross-platform efforts, you are flexible to help where needed.

Qualifications

• • 7+ years of professional software development experience with at least 4+ years focused on mobile development using React Native.
  • Deep expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern front-end technologies including Expo.
  • Experience integrating with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and third-party services.
  • Familiarity with state management libraries (e.g., Redux) and asynchronous programming.
  • Proven experience in building and maintaining complex, high-performance mobile applications.
  • Strong knowledge of mobile design principles, patterns, and best practices.
  • Experience owning projects end-to-end from initial prototypes to customer roll out.
  • Cross-functional experience collaborating closely with designers and product managers.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and raising team-wide code quality.
  • Experience with feature flagging, release management, and observability tools (Datadog, Crashlytics, etc.).
  • Comfort with AI-assisted development workflows and a desire to push what's possible.

Job Perks

• • Hybrid work with an office in San Francisco, CA
  • Regular in-person events events to connect and collaborate
  • Competitive salary & equity 
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and families
  • Flexible Time Off
  • Company-paid parental, medical and caregiver leave
  • Other perks including mental health resources and tech reimbursements

Compensation

The base salary for this position will vary based on several factors, such as relevant experience, location and your approved internal leveling assessed during the interview process. The base salary range for this role is $230,000 - $260,000. Salary is one component of our total compensation package. This position also qualifies for equity (i.e. stock options) and is eligible for discretionary bonuses based on performance.

The benefits available for this position include flexible time off, a 401K retirement plan, insurance (medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, short and long term disability), and 11 paid holidays. We also provide paid sick time as required by state and local law. Additional benefits and perks contained in our standard employee benefits package are also offered for this position.

Please note: 

The application window for this role will be open until at least May 14, 2026. This opportunity will remain online based on business needs which may be before or after the specified date.
