What they're building

Athena, an agentic AI layer that Humaans describes as moving into orchestration across HR, IT, Finance and Operations strong signal

Today: Humaans HRIS, a system of record for employee data, which includes an AI Companion for policy and document answers

Roles: Sales Associate · Product Implementation Specialist · Account Executive - Mid-Market · Founding US BDR - Agentic AI · Founding US Enterprise Account Executive - Agentic AI · Product Design Lead · Senior Product Designer

Requirements mention: "Athena AI Agents" (Founding US BDR - Agentic AI, Founding US Enterprise Account Executive - Agentic AI) · "agentic AI layer" (Account Executive - Mid-Market, Founding US BDR - Agentic AI, Product Design Lead, Senior Product Designer) · "Athena" (Sales Associate, Product Implementation Specialist)

Inference: Athena appears in sales, implementation and design requirements, and two US sales titles include 'Agentic AI'. This suggests Athena is being sold to and set up for customers, not only built.

Go-to-market systems and outbound build-out in London sales moderate signal

Today: HRIS software sold to businesses (B2B SaaS)

Roles: GTM Engineer · Sales Development Team Lead · Sales Associate · Account Executive - Mid-Market

Requirements mention: "sequencing platforms", "lead scoring", "cold email" (GTM Engineer) · "BDR or SDR team", "coaching" (Sales Development Team Lead) · "outbound sales motion", "target account lists" (Sales Associate)

Inference: the GTM Engineer posting describes automating how Humaans finds and converts customers. Alongside the outbound sales hires, this suggests the outbound motion is being built out in systems as well as in headcount.

First US sales team, in San Francisco moderate signal

Today: Humaans HRIS, which the site says supports growing companies and global category leaders

Roles: Founding US BDR - Agentic AI · Founding US Enterprise Account Executive - Agentic AI

Requirements mention: "closing $100k+ ARR deals" (Founding US Enterprise Account Executive - Agentic AI) · "complex sales cycles" (Founding US Enterprise Account Executive - Agentic AI) · "research target companies" (Founding US BDR - Agentic AI)

Inference: both titles begin 'Founding US', which points to the first US sales hires, aimed at larger deals. The postings say nothing further about US plans.

Integrations marketplace and public API moderate signal

Today: Humaans HRIS, which the site says connects with 'your company's tech stack' while keeping a central hub of employee data

Roles: Engineering Lead · Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) · Software Engineer (Full Stack) · Product Implementation Specialist

Requirements mention: "third-party integration marketplace" (Engineering Lead, Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack), Software Engineer (Full Stack)) · "public REST API" (Engineering Lead) · "integrations", "APIs", "webhooks" (Product Implementation Specialist)

Inference: integrations look like ongoing core work rather than a new launch. The engineering postings date from 2021, 2023 and 2025, so read them as standing hires.

Where the headcount is going

DepartmentOpen
Sales6
Product Design2
Engineering2
Customer Success1

Twelve open roles, half of them in Sales (4 London, 2 San Francisco), then Engineering 3, Product Design 2 and Customer Success 1; the three engineering postings have been open since 2021, 2023 and 2025, so read them as standing hires rather than new demand.

Who they need

Seniority: Senior 4, mid 4, junior 2, manager 1, and one role with unknown level.

Skills named most: Athena, agentic AI layer, TypeScript, React, Node, Postgres, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, third-party integration marketplace, B2B SaaS, outbound strategies, Clay

Locations: London has 10 roles, all marked on-site. San Francisco has 2 roles (Founding US BDR and Founding US Enterprise AE), and both leave remote unstated. No role is listed as remote.

How to use this

If you're applying: Ten of the 12 openings are on-site in London; the two San Francisco sales roles do not state a remote policy, so ask. Engineering postings list TypeScript, React, Node and Postgres. Sales postings list B2B SaaS and outbound experience, and several mention Athena. Check the fit lines against each posting before applying.

If you're selling or recruiting: Sales is the largest group, with 6 open roles: 4 in London and 2 founding US roles in San Francisco. Useful openers are the Athena agentic AI layer, the outbound and GTM systems build-out, and the new US team. Match the posting to the contact's function.
