## Job description

As a Security Engineer Intern, you'll work across our full stack — product, infrastructure, and processes — to build security controls and shape how we do security at Maki.

- You have solid knowledge in computer science, including hands-on exposure to at least one area of security — whether that's application, cloud, or network and infrastructure
- You're comfortable reading and writing code — Python, Go, or TypeScript preferred
- You know how to communicate clearly, take a step back when needed, and work openly with the people around you

## About MakiPeople

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: MakiPeople provides an AI-powered hiring platform that uses intelligent agents to automate candidate screening, assessment, and hiring decisions, reducing bias and saving recruiter time.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed + Series A funded)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States (with a significant office in Paris, France)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Maxime Legardez-Coquin (CEO), Paul-Louis Caylar (COO), Benjamin Chino (CPO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: HR technology, AI recruiting, talent acquisition
- **Target customers**: B2B; enterprise organizations (e.g., H&M, Capgemini, BNP Paribas, Amazon, Nestlé, Sephora) and staffing firms / RPOs
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Give human resources more-than-human powers” – building AI agents that liberate HR teams, advance organizations, and expand human potential.

## Products & Services
- **Mochi** – AI conversational screening agent that replaces manual recruiter phone screens. Conducts branded voice or web interviews to check eligibility, motivation, and language skills.
- **Shiro** – Skills assessment agent that delivers short, science-based tests (cognitive, behavioral, technical) early in the funnel to replace subjective CV screening.
- **Ken** – Deep assessment agent for late‑funnel, high‑stakes hires (case studies, coding challenges, leadership scenarios). Available as an add‑on to Shiro.
- **Kumi** – Scheduling agent that integrates with Google and Outlook calendars for candidate self‑booking, reducing no‑shows.
- **Riku** (early access) – Internal mobility and talent development agent that maps employee skills, suggests career paths, and supports upskilling.
- **Interview Co‑pilot** – Live interview structuring with transcript, structured notes, and scoring against competencies set during intake.
- **Intake** – JD‑to‑structured hiring journey module that produces a live pipeline in 30 minutes without engineering tickets.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $39,143,444 (Seed $12.4M in Nov 2021 led by Founders Future; Series A $26.8M in Jan 2025 led by Blossom Capital)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Founders Future, Blossom Capital; customers include H&M, PwC, Amazon, Nestlé, Sephora, Capgemini, BNP Paribas
- **Growth Signals**: 91 employees (+34.1% YoY); operates in 10 countries; helped H&M save 250,000 recruiter hours, reduce time‑to‑hire by 4x, and cut turnover by 22% (delivering $85M ROI); candidate satisfaction consistently above 99% positive; 90% automation achieved for some clients.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI agents that work on top of existing ATS** – No rip‑and‑replace; integrates with current systems, syncing data from ATS, HRIS, and other tools.
- **Bias‑mitigation built in** – Fairness controls, structured methods, and external audits limit unwanted bias; explainable scoring and audit trails make decisions defensible to legal and compliance.
- **Science‑grade assessments** – Models validated against actual performance data, proven correlation to job performance, and independent audits.
- **End‑to‑end automation** – From intake to hire recommendation, covering screening, assessment, interviewing, and scheduling, all in one platform.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding AI agents for HR** – Riku (internal mobility) signals a move beyond hiring into talent management and upskilling.
- **Staffing firm transformation** – Helping staffing and RPO firms deliver lower‑cost, higher‑quality services at scale.
- **Global scaling** – Already operating in 10 countries with offices in New York, Paris, London, and others; hiring across sales, engineering, and customer success.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Values include “Limitless ambition,” “Embrace intensity,” “Play to win,” “Stronger together,” and “Push the boundaries.” The company emphasizes speed, precision, and data‑driven decision‑making.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Hybrid model – some roles are hybrid (e.g., BDR Manager, Software Engineer), others are in‑office or onsite. Offices in New York, Paris, and other locations.
- **Notable perks**: Not explicitly detailed, but the team emphasizes impact, growth, and working with top‑tier clients. Engineering culture is deeply AI‑focused, with roles like AI Scientist, Software Engineer, and Head of Science.
