Job description

Software Engineering Intern — Lytehaus Group

Location: New York City (remote-friendly; WeWork office access available)
Type: Internship, paid — full-time or part-time considered
Start: Immediate / flexible

About Lytehaus

Lytehaus Group is a live interactive entertainment and data company. Our first product provides a live dating show broadcast on TikTok where the audience decides what happens in real time. Behind the entertainment is a growing engine of causally‑labeled behavioral data. We’re a seed‑stage team launching in NYC in Q4 2026, with London to follow. You’ll be one of the first engineers in the building.

What you’ll work on

• Live broadcast tooling: overlays, vote tallies, real‑time audience interaction systems
• Web and internal tools: landing pages, applicant/participant flows, production dashboards
• Data pipeline work: capturing, structuring, and labeling behavioral signals from live episodes
• Rapid prototyping — we ship weekly, sometimes daily, around live show schedules

What we’re looking for

• Currently studying (or recently finished) CS, engineering, or equivalent self‑taught ability — we care about what you can build, not the credential
• Comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one of React, Node, or Python
• Bonus: experience with real‑time systems (WebSockets, streaming), TikTok/social APIs, OBS or broadcast tooling, or basic ML/data work
• Bias to shipping. You’d rather put something scrappy live tonight than something perfect next month
• Interest in live entertainment, social platforms, or consumer AI is a big plus

What you’ll get

• Direct exposure to the founders — you’ll work with the COO and CEO, not through layers
• Real ownership: your code goes live in front of a real audience, fast
• Ground‑floor view of a venture‑backed consumer startup mid‑launch and mid‑raise
• Flexible working: remote, or desk space at a NYC WeWork
• Potential path to a full‑time role as we scale post‑launch
