Careers at Colab

Careers at Colab

No fluff. No coffee runs. Just real work with real people building real things.

🛠️ Open Roles

We’re bringing two driven interns into the inner circle at Colab — a US-based startup!

What is Colab?

Colab is where exceptional talent becomes serial interns!

We are an internship cohort, where students train to become industry standard and test their skills by micro-interning at startups. Colab is the bridge serious performers and talent seekers.

👨‍💻 Role 1:

Engineering Intern (1 Spot)

You’ll:

  • Work on our internal and external AI platform
  • Ship small-but-powerful tools
  • Debug, automate, and iterate on features fast

You’re a fit if you:

  • Have deployed scrappy tools or a real project(and not dummy ones)
  • Are curious about AI and how it can be used in workflows
  • Don’t wait for hand-holding — you figure stuff out
  • Know any two - React, Firebase, Python, LLMs, Docker, FastAPI

📣 Role 2:

Growth Analyst Intern (1 Spot)

You’ll:

  • Own our LinkedIn + email comms (and yes, we go hard on both)
  • Analyze what works, what doesn’t, and tweak it relentlessly. We are very data-oriented.
  • Help shape Colab’s voice to students, startups, and the world

You’re a fit if you:

  • Have written content, run an Insta/LinkedIn, or built a community
  • Know your way around Notion, Mailerlite, Canva, and Airtable
  • Are obsessed with how content travels and why people click

🎁 What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Weekly calls with the founder and mentoring even outside of the internship
  • Calls with Market Legends (We invited Director of Google, Head Engineering Amazon, Prod Director JPMC and more on our townhalls) for live mentoring.
  • Projects that aren’t buried in some Notion graveyard — they go live! You get ownership!
  • Real startup XP: launches, pivots, feedback loops, chaos — the good stuff(but serious one)
  • Public credit and priority consideration for future roles (See Dev’s post)
  • A much better version of you.
  • Freebies and other perks

⚔️ Submission → Onboarding : 5days!

  2. If approved, prove your skills in 24 hours:
👩‍💻

Tech Interns:

  • Build a small tool or app (host it on Replit/Vercel/GitHub). Pick any topic, but make sure its something basic. We want to see your approach and not how you code it.
  • Include a README: What it does + why you built it
  • Bonus if it’s fun, clever, or even a bit weird (we like weird)
  • Using AI is fine, but we’ll ask hard follow up questions
📈

Growth Interns:

  • Drive a data-driven deep search on any topic of your choice.
  • Create an outreach piece with any tool of your choice.
  • Add hooks, CTAs, and a 2-line explanation of your strategy
  • Bonus if your tone makes us pause mid-scroll
  1. Upon shortlisting a fireside meeting with the founder. Be prepped for technical and general QnA
  2. Offer letter and onboarding

🧾 Internship Snapshot

  • Duration: 3 months

  • Remote: Yes
  • Pay: Unpaid + Colab perks
  • Value: Off the charts

🧠 Who Should Apply

  • You’re tired of boring internships with zero ownership
  • You want to work with founders, not just for them
  • You’re okay being uncomfortable if it means serious growth
  • You want to learn building a profitable company from scratch

This isn’t an internship. It’s a shortcut to working at the level most people take years to reach. Let’s build!

Happy to connect and support you!

Cheers!
