Founders Associate (Technical)

About the Role

Intuition is a small team today. We have shipped to two of the world's most demanding factories. We are about to grow fast. As Founders Associate (Technical), you will work directly with the founder on whatever needs to ship that week — internal tools, customer demos, model evaluations, hiring loops, investor materials, the next prototype. You will see every part of the company in your first month and make many of the early decisions about what we build and how. This is the role for someone who could go to a frontier lab or to a PhD program, and chose to bet on a small team instead.

What You'll Do

  • Work alongside the founder on the highest-leverage problem of the week. That changes weekly.
  • Build internal tools that strip administrative drag from the core team.
  • Design and prototype new data collection modes and modalities.
  • Research and benchmark against existing embodied AI datasets.
  • Build a deep understanding of the robotics market and its needs.
  • If it happens twice, automate it.
  • Use any AI coding tools you want and ship at the speed an AI-native engineer can ship.

What We're Looking For

  • Technical background. Degree or relevant experience.
  • A portfolio of things you have actually shipped: apps, sites, tools, papers, side projects.
  • You excel at vibe coding. You build fast and stay current on the tools that matter.
  • Working understanding of deep learning and modern ML frameworks.
  • Strong written and verbal communication.
  • High agency — you don't wait to be told what to do.
  • Fluent in English.
  • Nice to have: strategy consulting, banking, or PE/VC background.
  • Nice to have: open-source contributions on GitHub or Hugging Face.
  • Nice to have: robotics, embodied AI, or computer vision research experience.

Why Join Us
