## About the role

We’re looking for an intern who can build. You’ll work directly with the founders on the shared context layer for recursive companies: a data lake that ingests everything a team produces with AI, an ontology that turns it into trustworthy, typed knowledge, and the loop that lets people and agents improve from it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- The instinct to ship before it’s perfect
- Autonomy. You’ll get context, feedback, and fast answers from the founders, but no one will hand you a detailed spec. You get a problem and you figure out how to solve it
- Opinions about the products you use. If you’ve never looked at an app and thought “this is wrong and here’s how I’d fix it,” we’re probably not a match
- Comfort with ambiguity. The product moves fast, and what matters in week 1 may differ from week 6. That should excite you
