Role summary
Socratix AI is seeking a Founder's Associate Intern to work directly with the founding team on high-priority initiatives across product, customers, and operations. This role offers exposure to building and scaling a venture-backed AI startup, involving feature shipping and enterprise customer acquisition. Responsibilities include synthesizing customer insights into product requirements, driving cross-functional projects, writing product specs, supporting enterprise pilots, conducting market research, and building internal systems.

Prior startup or technical experience is a plus.
As a Founder’s Associate Intern at Socratix AI, you’ll work directly with the founders on the highest-priority initiatives across product, customers, and operations. This is not a traditional internship - you’ll operate as an extension of the founding team, helping drive execution across the company.
You’ll gain firsthand exposure to what it takes to build and scale a venture-backed AI startup, from shipping features to closing enterprise customers.
If you’re excited about ownership, ambiguity, and high-impact work, you’ll thrive here.
# What You’ll Do
* Sit in on customer calls and synthesize insights into clear product requirements.
* Drive cross-functional projects across engineering, product, and go-to-market.
* Write product specs (PRDs), structure roadmaps, and track execution.
* Support enterprise pilots and deployments, ensuring customers see impact quickly.
* Conduct market research and competitive analysis in fraud, risk, and AI.
* Help build internal systems (analytics dashboards, ops processes, documentation).
* Identify bottlenecks and proactively solve them - no task is too small or too strategic.
This role evolves with company needs - you’ll work on whatever moves the needle most that week.
# What We’re Looking For
### Must-haves:
* Currently pursuing a degree in CS or related field.
* Exceptional structured thinking and written communication.
* Strong analytical skills (comfortable with spreadsheets, data analysis, or SQL).
* High agency - you don’t wait to be told what to do.
* Comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving environments.
* Deep curiosity about startups, AI, and enterprise software.
### Nice-to-haves (but not required):
* Prior startup, consulting, or venture experience.
* Technical fluency (you can understand APIs, AI workflows, or backend systems).
* Experience in product management or operations.
* Interest in becoming a founder or early startup operator.
# What You’ll Gain
* Direct mentorship from founders who’ve built and scaled AI systems at DoorDash, Cruise, LinkedIn, and Unit21.
* Exposure to enterprise sales cycles and customer strategy.
* End-to-end ownership of high-impact company initiatives.
* Insight into roadmap decisions and strategic trade-offs.
* A front-row seat to building AI agents used in production.
* Opportunity to convert to a full-time role based on performance.
