The HR Generalist will manage HR operations, compliance, onboarding, performance management, and culture initiatives, ensuring effective people practices.
About Butter Payments:
At Butter Payments, we’re on a mission to eliminate involuntary churn and make recurring payments seamless. Every year, billions of dollars are lost due to failed payments. Butter leverages machine learning, deep financial data partnerships, and behavioral insights to ensure the right payments go through at the right time—without friction. We're backed by world-class investors like Atomic, Norwest Venture Partners, SpringTride, Transpose Platform, and we're growing fast.
The Role:
We’re looking for an experienced and proactive HR Generalist / People Operations Generalist to join our growing team. You’ll be the go-to person for all things People—supporting HR operations, compliance, onboarding, performance, and company culture. This is a high-impact role for someone who’s excited to help build and scale a people-first organization.
You’ve ideally been the sole HR person before, or operated with a high degree of autonomy, and are confident handling both strategy and execution. You’ve helped scale a company from ~50 to 150 people, and know what it takes to build strong people foundations at a fast-growing, distributed company.
What You’ll Do:
- Own core HR operations: employee onboarding/offboarding, benefits administration, policy management, and compliance across states
- Manage and optimize Rippling as our HRIS—driving automation and reporting
- Partner on leveling & career frameworks, supporting managers with performance management and role clarity as we grow
- Support hiring processes: assist with job descriptions, offers, and candidate experience in collaboration with recruiting
- Help scale the company thoughtfully: advise on people practices and systems that support a distributed, high-growth team
- Lead engagement and culture initiatives that promote connection, inclusion, and feedback loops across time zones
- Ensure compliance with labor laws and benefits regulations, especially for a remote-first, multi-state team
What We’re Looking For:
- 4+ years of hands-on HR/People experience, ideally in a startup or tech environment
- Experience working at or scaling a company from ~50 to 150 employees
- Comfortable being a “team of one” or working autonomously with strong ownership
- Prior experience with Rippling HRIS (must-have)
- Exposure to or ownership of leveling, career frameworks, and performance cycles
- Experience supporting a distributed U.S. workforce across multiple states
- Knowledge of employment law, compliance, and HR best practices
- Clear communicator, detail-oriented, and people-centric
We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
