Job description

Type: Full- or Part-Time Internship, 3 months, with potential to convert

RocketRide is an SF-based AI startup pushing the boundaries of open source agentic workflows — helping developers build smarter systems that work for them. Our meta-harness connects automation, AI, and open collaboration into something fast, flexible, and deeply useful.

About the Role

We’re searching for AI Growth Engineer Interns for the fall term (mid‑Sep through mid‑Dec), who are technical, energetic, and community‑minded and ready to help tell our story, grow our open source movement, and represent us with real developer credibility.

WhatYou’llDo

• Drive developer‑first social content. Ideate, create, and publish technical content across X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Reddit that developers actually want to engage with.
• Experiment with AI tools. Prototype and experiment with AI agents and workflows (OpenClaw, CrewAI, etc.) to automate campaigns, generate content, and uncover new growth loops.
• Grow the funnel. Design and run creative digital experiments that turn awareness into signups, usage, and community engagements.
• (For one intern) Facilitate our podcast. Leverage your A/V, streaming, and camera skills for recording and production, conduct guest research and outreach, and edit episodes into clips, blog posts, and social content.

What You Bring

• Up to ~2 years of hands‑on software experience. You write solid code, build and run demos, contribute to repos, and credibly engage with developers at a technical level.
• You have public contributions (a GitHub project, personal site, plugin, or content) that you’re proud to show us.
• You are fluent with modern AI tools and love pushing them in creative ways for storytelling, automation, or content generation.
• You’re comfortable speaking on camera, in livestreams, and in front of live audiences.
• You love multitasking across tech, community, content, and marketing — and want to grow into a role that touches all of them.
• You’re able to work from our San Francisco office regularly at least 3 days/week, as part of our hybrid team.

Bonus Points

• Video editing and post‑production skills (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, or similar).
• Recording experience behind a mic and camera in studio or on‑location settings.
• Social media management experience, including scheduling, analytics, and community engagement across platforms.

WhyYou’llLove This

• You get to run fast experiments that blend technical creativity and community building.
• You’ll learn a ton about the emerging agentic AI ecosystem, GTM strategy, and startup execution.
• You’ll have a front‑row seat to the next wave of AI‑driven developer tooling and play a direct part in shaping it.
