About Potpie

Potpie is building an AI-native development platform for large and complex engineering teams. We help organizations make their software systems more understandable, debuggable, and operable by capturing engineering context across codebases, documentation, tickets, workflows, and infrastructure.

Our goal is to create a persistent engineering intelligence layer that supports AI agents across the software development lifecycle and helps teams build, maintain, and operate software with greater speed, reliability, and ownership.

As Potpie grows, we are looking for people who can bring structure, speed, and ownership to the way we operate.

About the Role

We are looking for a Founder’s Office Intern who will work closely with the Head of Engineering on high-priority projects across engineering operations, hiring, customer deployments, internal processes, documentation, and execution.

This is not a typical internship where you only manage tasks or take notes. You will work close to the engineering leadership team and help convert ambiguous problems into clear action items, trackers, documents, follow-ups, and execution plans.

You will get exposure to how an early-stage AI startup operates across product, engineering, customers, hiring, and internal systems. The role is ideal for someone who is organized, proactive, sharp, and excited to work in a fast-moving startup environment.

What You Will Do

As a Founder’s Office Intern at Potpie, you will:

Work directly with the Head of Engineering on engineering, product, hiring, and operational priorities.

Help track key initiatives across engineering, deployments, customer requirements, hiring pipelines, and internal projects.

Create and maintain trackers, dashboards, meeting notes, project documents, and follow-up plans.

Coordinate with engineering, product, customer-facing, and hiring teams to keep work moving.

Support execution on special projects that may involve research, documentation, process improvement, customer context, or internal operations.

Help organize engineering workflows, sprint updates, review notes, release tracking, and team-level execution details.

Assist in creating internal documentation, customer-facing notes, implementation summaries, and operating playbooks.

Support hiring coordination for engineering and technical roles when needed.

Help identify blockers, follow up with owners, and ensure important tasks do not get lost.

Work on research and analysis related to AI, developer tools, enterprise software, competitors, customers, and internal priorities.

Bring structure to fast-moving discussions by turning conversations into clear next steps.

You May Be a Strong Fit If You Have

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Good organizational ability and attention to detail.

Ability to handle multiple projects, people, and follow-ups at the same time.

A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership.

Comfort working in ambiguity and figuring things out without a fixed playbook.

Interest in AI, startups, software engineering, developer tools, and company-building.

Ability to create clear documents, trackers, summaries, and action plans.

Strong follow-through and the discipline to keep tasks moving.

Curiosity to understand how engineering teams, products, and customers work together.

Comfort working with founders, engineering leaders, and cross-functional teams.

Must-Haves

Available for a 6-month internship.

Able to work in a hybrid setup from our HSR Layout office in Bengaluru.

Strong communication and coordination skills.

Good comfort with tools like Google Docs, Sheets, Notion, Slack, and project trackers.

Ability to join immediately or as soon as possible.

High ownership, attention to detail, and willingness to learn quickly.

Comfort working closely with the Head of Engineering in a fast-paced startup environment.

Good to Have

Previous internship or experience in founder’s office, operations, project management, consulting, startups, product operations, or engineering coordination.

Interest or basic understanding of software engineering, AI, SaaS, developer tools, or enterprise technology.

Experience creating documentation, dashboards, reports, trackers, or internal process documents.

Exposure to hiring, customer success, product operations, or technical project coordination.

Ability to research topics quickly and summarize them clearly.

Experience working in student clubs, communities, startup projects, or high-ownership college initiatives.

What You Will Gain

Hands-on exposure to how an early-stage AI startup operates.

Experience working directly with the Head of Engineering and closely with founders, engineers, and product teams.

Understanding of how engineering priorities, customer requirements, hiring, and operations come together inside a startup.

Practical experience in execution, documentation, coordination, research, and project tracking.

Exposure to AI-native developer tools, enterprise software, and real-world engineering workflows.

Mentorship from experienced startup and engineering leaders.

Competitive stipend throughout the internship period.

Opportunity for a full-time PPO based on performance, ownership, and business requirements.

Why This Role

At an early-stage company, execution speed matters deeply. The Founder’s Office function helps bring clarity to chaos, connects different parts of the company, and ensures important priorities move forward.

As a Founder’s Office Intern, you will work on real business and engineering priorities, not isolated intern tasks. You will learn how decisions are made, how teams execute, how customers are supported, and how a company moves from early traction to scale.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in founder’s office, startups, operations, product, consulting, venture-backed companies, or company-building.
