Do you want to spend your summer building something meaningful - with real ownership, autonomy, and the space to make decisions? Are you excited by the idea of helping shape a product from scratch, not just writing code but influencing how it works, looks, and feels?

If that sounds like you, this might be the internship you’ve been waiting for!

🚀 About Builder Buddy

Builder Buddy is where ambitious minds meet to build something bigger together.

We’re building a co-founder matchmaking platform — but not just another mindless one. This isn’t about endless swiping or vague networking. It’s about intentional design and smart matchmaking, that helps entrepreneurial people find someone truly compatible to build with. If you've ever said, “I’d start something if I just had the right person” — then that’s the problem we’re solving.

We're an early-stage startup, and you’ll be working directly with the founder on the product’s most critical parts — whether you’re interested in full-stack development, AI logic, or both.

🎯 Responsibilities

As an intern, you’ll work closely with the founder to bring ideas to life. Depending on your skills and interests, you may take on responsibilities like:

• Collaborating on the design and development of core product features
• Contributing to both front-end and back-end development, depending on your strengths
• Helping structure and manage user data to support product functionality
• Exploring ways to integrate intelligent or automated features into the user experience
• Participating in brainstorming, prototyping, and testing sessions
• Iterating on features based on feedback and product goals
• Writing clear, maintainable code and communicating your work effectively
• Bringing a user-centered mindset to every part of the building process

✅ You don’t need to tick every box — if this excites you and you love to build, apply anyway.

We’re especially looking for people who have experience or interest in:

• Developing simple, responsive web interfaces
• Building backend logic and working with user data
• Integrating APIs or exploring automation and AI tools
• Writing clean, maintainable code and iterating quickly
• Thinking through product flows and user experience
• (Bonus) Working on early-stage projects, side hustles, or hackathons

📚 Requirements

To be eligible for this internship, you should:

• Be currently enrolled in a university or equivalent higher education program
• Have a basic foundation in programming (e.g., through coursework or personal projects)
• Be able to dedicate ~10–20 hours/week during the internship period
• Be comfortable communicating in English

🧠 Who You Are

You might be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy building from scratch and thinking in systems
• Are an excellent communicator, collaborator and team-player
• Are curious, self-driven, and not afraid to ask questions
• Value thoughtful design and user-first thinking
• Can handle feedback openly and use it to improve
• Are excited to help shape something meaningful in an early-stage startup
• Want to learn, experiment, and make real decisions along the way

✨ What You’ll Get

• Remote flexibility and in how and when you work
• Ownership over what you build — your ideas won’t just be heard, they’ll be used
• Direct mentorship and collaboration with the founder
• A chance to create impact on an impactful idea
• Internship certificate and reference letter
• Experience designing smart, AI-supported tools that people actually need
• This is an unpaid position, because we're early in our journey
