We’re looking for a People & Operations Intern to help build how Simular works as a company; not just behind a desk, but out in the world. You’ll support hiring, onboarding, IT compliance, office management, and employee experience, while also representing Simular at hackathons, career fairs, and community events.

This is a great role if you want to see how an early-stage AI company actually runs, from the inside out. This role requires a full-time commitment.

What you’ll do

Hiring & Talent Engineering

• Support the full hiring pipeline: post roles, screen resumes, coordinate interviews, follow up with candidates
• Help with onboarding new hires: equipment, accounts, welcome materials, first-week logistics
• Represent Simular at career fairs, university events, and recruiting meetups

Events & Community

• Help organize and attend hackathons, tech meetups, and industry events
• Coordinate team events, offsites, and internal culture moments
• Be a face of Simular at external events: you'll meet candidates, partners, and community members in person

Operations & Compliance

• Help find and manage office spaces
• Assist with IT compliance: device management, security policies, access controls
• Coordinate with external vendors: insurance, IT providers, and other service partners
• Support employment compliance across multiple jurisdictions: contracts, visa applications, labor law requirements
• Maintain employee records and keep things organized

AI & Process Automation

• Identify repetitive ops workflows and help automate them using AI tools, no-code platforms, or scripts
• Build and maintain internal automations: onboarding checklists, compliance reminders, candidate pipeline tracking
• Develop your AI literacy by working daily with AI agents and LLMs as part of how we operate
• Help the team stay on the frontier: test new AI tools, share what works, and document best practices

You might be a fit if

• You're organized, detail-oriented, and can juggle multiple tasks without dropping balls
• You communicate clearly and professionally
• You're proactive; you see something that needs doing and you do it
• You're curious about AI and eager to build real AI literacy, not just use LLMs, but understand how AI tools can transform workflows
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out on your own
• You're a people person who's energized by events and face-to-face interactions
• You care about building a great workplace, not just running one

Bonus

• Prior internship in HR, people ops, or startup environments
• Experience organizing events, clubs, or student organizations
