Founding Product Engineer, Intern
What you'll do
This isn't a "fix the button color" internship. You'll work like an early engineer on an open-source product developers run every day: figure out where people get stuck, decide what to build, and ship it.
- Dig into how people actually use Orchestrator and where they get stuck.
- Propose improvements to the product, then own them end to end.
- Ship to an open-source repo with real users on the other side.
- Work directly with the core team. No layers, no tickets thrown over a wall.
What we're looking for
- You're comfortable with GitHub: branches, PRs, reviews, the works.
- You live in AI coding tools: Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor, whatever dropped this week.
- You've shipped things and can show us.
- Bonus: you've used Orchestrator or contributed to it.
