We're looking for a founding software engineer intern to help support a startup focused on building a cleaner, faster, and more user-friendly job search experience.
This is currently an unpaid, founding internship/contributor opportunity, as the platform is still pre-monetization and preparing for launch this week.
The platform pulls and structures job listings directly from employer hiring systems to reduce duplicate postings, outdated listings and unnecessary friction throughout the application process.
The startup's current goal is simple: build something genuinely useful for job seekers while creating a more transparent and thoughtfully designed search experience.
Areas You Could Help With:
Depending on your interests and background:
• Software Engineering: AI/ML stack, Python backend development, TypeScript, React/Next.js frontend, DevOps
• UI/UX & Product: Claude Design, Figma, interface improvements, mobile and web UX, usability feedback, feature planning, and user flows
• Data & Research: Data quality review, platform insights, job market research, trend analysis
Who This Is Best For:
People early in their careers who want meaningful startup exposure, practical experience, and the opportunity to work closely with an experienced founder.
You'll work directly with a founder who brings 17+ years of hands-on experience across recruiting, HR, talent acquisition, and people ops. Throughout her career, she has helped tech startups build teams, improve hiring processes, and navigate the challenges that come with scaling teams. Having worked closely with candidates, hiring managers, executives, and leadership teams for nearly two decades, she has a unique perspective on where the hiring process succeeds, and where it falls short.
This platform is being built from those firsthand experiences and observations. Contributors will have the opportunity to learn directly from someone who understands both the operational side of hiring and the realities of building products that solve real-world problems. For those interested in startups, recruiting technology, product development, or entrepreneurship, the experience and mentorship available through close collaboration with the founder can be just as valuable as the work itself.
Additional Details:
• Fully remote
• Flexible hours
• Contributor-focused and project-based
• Unpaid internship/contributor opportunity
• No expectation of long-term commitment
What You'll Gain:
You'll have the opportunity to contribute to a real platform approaching launch, gain hands-on startup experience, build meaningful portfolio work, and collaborate directly with the founder on real-world product and engineering challenges.
As the platform grows and reaches key milestones, including potential funding, some early contributors may be considered for future paid opportunities as the founding team expands.
