Founder’s Associate Intern

DRYFT Dryft builds intelligent systems that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world - cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM, TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and builders of everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads. We’re backed by the founders and leaders behind Amazon, Facebook, Stripe, Applied Intuition, & others; General Catalyst & Neo, and board members of global industrial companies. Today, we’re already saving customers millions. But this is only the beginning. ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Our mission is to accelerate it for the next.   THE ROLE As our Founder's Associate Intern, you'll step into the shoes of a founder. You'll own the highest-priority projects across product, sales, hiring or operations. One day you're on site with a client, the next you're building a new prototype, and in between you're hosting a hackathon for the best builders in the city. - Work on what matters most – whatever the founders are in the middle of, you take it off their plate and own it end-to-end - Build from zero – launch the things that don't exist yet at Dryft, from a new market entry to prototypes to our next event - Fast-track your career – prove yourself across every part of the company, and grow into a full-time role like Deployment Strategist, Growth or Special Projects roles You'll learn how a company gets built, from the inside, at full speed. And yes, this will be the hardest internship you've ever had.   YOU - Fast-paced experience – 2-3 internships in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting, private equity), at a high-growth startup, or you've built something of your own - Founder DNA – you have high agency, drive and a serious work ethic; you thrive in ambiguity and don't wait for direction, or for a process that doesn't exist yet - Learning at full speed – you're useful in week one and indispensable by week four - Competitive by nature – you've won at something hard, and losing still annoys you days later - Gets shit done & zero ego – you move fast, figure things out, and you'd rather ship it than get the credit
