Job description
Why does your role matter? 🎖️
Our teams are shipping at lightspeed—new features, markets, and experiments daily. But speed creates chaos, and chaos needs systems. You’ll be the automation alchemist in the Founder’s Office, turning our repetitive tasks into one-click wonders and transforming our scattered experiments into systematic insights. While our PMs are building the future and our engineers are shipping code, you’ll be building the infrastructure that makes everyone 10x more effective. Think of yourself as the operational hacker who makes our impossible pace sustainable. Ready to learn from the best while building systems that power Hike’s next phase?
Founder’s Office Intern at Hike = Insane Learning Curve × Automation Obsession × Get Things Done
Introduction 📖
At Hike, we’re revolutionizing gaming and tech by blending innovation and immersive experiences. With our foray into Web3 gaming, we’re exploring uncharted territories to create products that redefine fun and ownership. Join us as we make waves in this exciting new frontier.
Hike Code 📝( Our core cultural values )
The Hike Code is our value system. We aim to live and breathe by these every single day. They inspire us to be the best we can be and they are weaved into every part of our decision-making, how we review performance, and much more. We have 9 core values:
- Top Talent in Every Role → Both a quest for greatness & shared values are important to us 🦸♂️
- Owner not a Renter → Proactive & radically responsible. Everyone is an owner 🤝
- Pro-Sports Team → Strength-based, results-driven with a “team-first” attitude ⚽️
- Customer Obsession → We exist to delight our customers 😃
- Think Deeply & Exercise Good Judgement → Clear mind, obsession to simplify & data-informed 🙇♀️
- Build & Make Magic → Courage to walk into the unknown and pioneer new fronts 🙀
- Be Insatiably curious & keep Improving → Curiosity to acquire new perspectives, quickly 👨🏫
- Move Fast & Be Dynamic → Ruthless prioritization & move fast 🙋♂️
- Dream Big, Be Bold & Think Long Term → Courage to climb big mountains 🚀
What We’re Looking For
- You’re a builder, not a talker. Final year student or recent grad who’s already shipped something—an app, a bot, a newsletter, anything. You understand the difference between learning and doing.I Build & Make Magic
- AI is your secret weapon. You’re not just using ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini for homework. You’ve made it write code, analyze data, create workflows. You see AI tools everywhere and think “how can I break this? I Be Insatiably Curious & Keep Improving
- You automate before being asked. That Excel task everyone does manually? You’ve already written a script. You physically hurt when you see people doing repetitive work. I Owner not a Renter
- You’re dangerously curious. You don’t just accept “that’s how we do it.” You ask why, then build a better way. You read documentation for fun. You know what Zapier, Make, and n8n are—and have opinions. I Think Deeply & Exercise Good Judgement
- You learn at 3x speed. New tool? You’ll master it by lunch. New framework? You’re already building with it. You don’t need hand-holding; you need interesting problems. I Top Talent in Every Role
- You ship, then iterate. Your first version might be ugly, but it works. Perfect is the enemy of shipped. You know that done > perfect, always. I Move Fast & Be Dynamic
- You’re comfortable with chaos. Startup life isn’t structured. Today you’re researching competitors, tomorrow you’re building a Slack bot, next week you’re analyzing user data. You thrive in this. I Dream Big, Be Bold & Think Long Term
- You document like a pro. Your code has comments. Your experiments have conclusions. You write so clearly that anyone can pick up where you left off. I Pro-Sports Team
- Your communication is pure signal, zero noise. No fluff, no corporate speak, no 5-paragraph emails when 5 bullets work. You write chat messages that people read. Your updates are crisp: what you did, what you learned, what’s next. Period. I Think Deeply & Exercise Good Judgement
You’re hungry, not entitled. This isn’t about getting “intern” on your resume. You want to build things that matter, learn from people who’ve done it, and leave a mark. I Customer Obsession
What You’ll Do 📲
- Automate everything that moves: Find every process that takes >30 minutes and shouldn’t. Build tools using AI, no-code platforms, and whatever else works. Goal: Save the team 20+ hours per week within your first month.
- Be the Founder’s Swiss Army knife: Research competitors at 9 AM, build a dashboard at noon, experiment with new AI tools at 3 PM. Every day is different, every day you ship something.
- Run rapid experiments: Test hypotheses about everything—user behavior, internal processes, new tools. Document what works, kill what doesn’t. Move fast, learn faster.
- Build our automation arsenal: Create a library of tools, bots, and workflows that make everyone’s life easier. From Slack bots to data pipelines, if it can be automated, you’ll automate it.
- Research like a detective: Dig deep into markets, competitors, and trends. But don’t just make slides—turn insights into action. Your research directly influences decisions.
- Create systems that scale: Build documentation, processes, and tools that work without you. Your internship might end, but your impact won’t.
- Break things (productively): Test new AI tools, experiment with workflows, try approaches that might fail. We need someone who pushes boundaries, not follows playbooks.
- Measure everything: Set up tracking for your experiments. Know what worked, what didn’t, and why. Data beats opinions, always.
- Level up the entire team: Share your discoveries. That new AI tool you found? Teach others. That workflow you built? Make it team-wide. Be a force multiplier.
