We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US. In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive. Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume.  Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way. Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable.  We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. ## About This Role As a General Matter Information Technology Intern, you will gain hands-on experience supporting the IT systems, infrastructure, and end-user services that keep a highly regulated, mission-critical environment running. You will work alongside experienced IT and security staff on real projects spanning systems administration, network support, endpoint management, and IT compliance. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists, and physicists. This is an opportunity to gain meaningful experience supporting the technology backbone of a company advancing domestic nuclear fuel production. ## Responsibilities - Assist with day-to-day IT support, including hardware/software troubleshooting, account provisioning, and helpdesk ticket resolution. - Support the administration and maintenance of endpoints, servers, and network infrastructure, including patching, backups, and asset tracking. - Help implement and validate IT security controls (e.g., MFA, endpoint protection, access management) under the guidance of the IT and security teams. - Support user access reviews, system health checks, and IT policy compliance activities. - Contribute to internal documentation, including setup guides, runbooks, and IT knowledge base articles. - Assist with onboarding/offboarding workflows, equipment deployment, and conference room / office technology support. - Participate in IT projects such as software rollouts, systems migrations, and process automation. - Support audit and compliance readiness efforts by organizing documentation and assisting with internal IT reviews. ## Basic Qualifications - Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related technical field. - Foundational understanding of computer systems, networking, and IT operations. - Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn new technologies and methodologies. - Strong written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail. - Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn. ## Preferred Skills and Experience - Familiarity with IT service management tools, ticketing systems, or asset management platforms. - Exposure to scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, PowerShell). - Coursework or project experience with systems administration, networking, or cloud platforms. - Familiarity with basic security principles such as authentication, access control, and endpoint protection. Additional Requirements - Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary. ## Equal Opportunity Employer General Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with General Matter is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status. ## Compensation and Benefits The hourly pay range for this internship is $28–$36 per hour, depending on the candidate's current standing in school (i.e. sophomore, senior).
