- **Location:** Americas
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-05-21
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08

## Job description

We're building the missing evaluation layer for hiring — structured, evidence-based interviews, AI-assisted and human-decided. Early customers include publicly listed companies and global startups. Pre-seed, backed by top-tier VCs, founded by a two-time exited founder.

We’re looking for an Intern in 3 months paid contract, with the possibility of extension (depending on business needs and performance)

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own real work from week one. The scope shifts with what the company needs, but expect:

- Optimizing our internal tools (Claude, Notion, Slack — whatever saves us hours)
- Customer and market research: finding the 500 companies we should be talking to
- GTM support: outbound, demo prep, CRM, anything that moves a deal
- Product support: listening to user calls, surfacing patterns, writing up insights
- Writing: briefs, docs, memos — sharp and clear

## WHO YOU ARE

- Recent grad, current student, or 0–3 years into your career
- You've built something you’re proud of: a side project, a community, a workflow, a campaign
- Genuinely proficient with AI tools (not just using them, building with them)
- You write clearly and think fast
- Remote-ready: proactive, visible, no hand-holding needed
- You want this to become full-time and you love startup mentality and agility

Nice to have: CS, design, or business background. Bilingual English/Spanish. Any HR Tech or recruiting exposure.

## LOGISTICS

Remote, US-based. Bay Area a plus. Trial: full-time, paid stipend competitive with top tech internships. Full-time conversion: market salary + early equity + benefits.
