Why Sintra?

50,000+ small business owners use Sintra every day. Not because it's another SaaS tool — but because our AI helpers actually feel like teammates. They reply to customers, post on social media, analyze data, and much more. For someone running a business alone, this is the first time they've had help that actually helps.

We've built something people care about. Now we need to make it great.

Quick summary: We’re hiring our first in-house HR Business Partner to build the people foundation of Sintra from the ground up. This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution, shaping how it feels to join, grow, and work here every day. You’ll work closely with founders and the team to build human systems that scale without losing their soul. Success in this role means building just enough structure to support a growing team, without importing corporate frameworks or unnecessary processes.
