About the role
The Role
Interns at Aristotle are not handed make-work projects. As a generalist intern, you will be the utility player who jumps into the most pressing problem the company faces each week. You might interview students, run a growth experiment, build a teacher training deck, or pull together the metrics deck for a board conversation. The role is twelve weeks, in person in San Francisco. You will sit with founders, engineers, and educators, and you will own at least one project end to end. We expect you to ask basic questions, write down what you learn, and leave us better than you found us.
What you'll do
- Talk to current and prospective users to find pain points and patterns we are missing.
- Build lightweight processes for onboarding, support, or logistics and document them clearly.
- Design and measure small growth experiments, then tell the team what worked and what did not.
- Prepare research, metrics, and materials that help the founders make decisions faster.
What we're looking for
You should have started something before: a club, a project, a small business, or a research effort where you had to make things happen without a clear job description. You should write well, think clearly under ambiguity, and be comfortable switching contexts several times a day. Resourcefulness matters more than credentials. If you would rather own a messy problem than wait for instructions, this is probably the right internship.
Why this matters
Small teams live or die by whether someone notices the broken thing and fixes it before it compounds. A great generalist intern makes the whole company faster. You will leave with real projects in production, a strong reference, and a clear sense of whether startup operations is for you. That is the trade: hard work for real ownership.
