Founders Associate Intern (f/m/x)

Are you **hungry to get your hands dirty and gain real startup experience**? At doinstruct, you'll sit next to doinstruct's founders and the Chief of Staff for 3-6 months, not shadow from the sidelines. You decide which workflows are worth automating, build them yourself, and ship. Every project you take on has to clear one bar: a 3-5x return in hours saved, revenue generated, or decisions unblocked. If it doesn't clear that bar, we don't build it.

• Work directly with leadership on cross-functional initiatives across GTM, Product, and Ops.
• Find the highest-leverage workflows in the company, redesign them around Claude agents, MCPs, and Skills, ship them, measure the lift.
• Build the automations yourself, in Claude Code, GitHub, n8n or Zapier, and directly inside HubSpot and Notion.
• Own projects end to end: brief, plan, execute, retro.

• Top 5% of your peers, provable through founding experience, a leadership track record, grades (3rd semester+, 1.8+ GPA), or an unusual builder résumé.
• 2+ internships at a top startup, consultancy, VC/PE, or investment bank, or equivalent founding experience.
• AI-native, not AI-curious. You already use Claude, Cursor, or similar day to day, and you've shipped at least one prototype or automation, or you're ready to ship your first one in week 1.
• You measure impact in hours saved and revenue generated, not slides produced.
• Real empathy for blue-collar and frontline work. Time in food, manufacturing, construction, or logistics is a plus, not a requirement.
• Fluent in German and English.

• Direct impact: your work reaches thousands of frontline workers, and shows up in company metrics within your first weeks.
• Full ownership from day one on projects that would normally sit with someone years more senior.
• Competitive intern compensation: this isn't an unpaid internship, we expect a lot and pay accordingly.
• The AI tooling budget you'd expect: Claude Max, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, n8n or Zapier.
• Backed by over €25M in Seed & Series A funding from HV Capital, Creandum, HTGF, and D11Z, so the runway matches the ambition.
