Internship role working closely with founders and early hires on key product areas including database, platform, product features, and applied AI.
Responsibilities
- You'll work shoulder to shoulder with our founders and first full-time hires on real product, shipped to real users. No busywork, no side projects kept far from the codebase.
- Depending on your strengths, you go deep in one of four areas:
- Database: The data model, versioning, and consistency at the core of the context repository.
- Platform: The DevOps backbone: Deployment, scalability, and reliability that keep the platform fast and always up.
- Product: The surfaces where users control access controls, run change reviews, and shape their context.
- Applied AI: MCP clients, evals, and the agent workflows that turn the repository into something AI can actually use.
- We're already live with 15+ design partners and launching v1 in Q3 2026. The architecture, the product, and the category are still being decided. You'll help decide them.
Conditions
- Challenge: A genuinely hard intellectual and systems problem
- Cutting edge: Turning the latest research into a product used at scale
- Mission: Building the infrastructure for the next generation of work
- Impact: Shape the company and architecture from day one
- Ownership: Competitive salary plus meaningful early equity
- Culture: Deep-tech mindset, transparency, radical candor and fast execution
Other
- We're building the self-maintaining source of truth for the AI-native company , the context repository that keeps company knowledge structured, up-to-date, permission-aware, and ready for every AI agent.
- That takes people who are exceptionally talented, obsessed by the vision, and set on doing the best work of their lives. If that's you, read on.
