About this role
Remember that cereal you had this morning? The yogurt in your fridge? That protein bar in your backpack? There's a strong chance we touched its formula.
We're Turing Labs - the company very few knows but most tastes every day. Backed by Y Combinator, Insight Partners, and Eric Ries, we're the silent force behind 50,000+ CPG products getting healthier without you even noticing. We're talking Kraft Heinz scale. Fortune 500 scale. "Your-mom-definitely-bought-this" scale.
Now we're building something bigger: The Manhattan Project for food innovation.
Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):
As our Community Architect, you'll be a movement builder, a narrative crafter, a professional mind-changer. Your targets? The busiest, most skeptical, most accomplished scientists on Earth. Your weapon? Pure intellectual seduction.
Be at the forefront of building a movement! As a Community Engagement Intern, you will help create, cultivate, and energize a peer-driven network of specific technical experts to disrupt industry. The kind of conversations that reshape what 8 billion people eat.
You'll Work Directly With:
Founder and executive team
Executives from companies whose logos are on your groceries
We're Looking For:
Someone who can make a tenured professor feel FOMO
A natural debater who turns skeptics into evangelists
Equal comfort discussing CRISPR and sourdough starters
The kind of person who never takes no for an answer - think “I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM_”_
Previous experience making important people do things they didn't plan to do (debate team captain? Started a movement on campus? Convinced your university to divest from fossil fuels? Perfect.)
Why This Isn't Your Average Internship:
Your work impacts what millions eat tomorrow
You're not fetching coffee; you're building the Illuminati of food innovation
Real budget, real autonomy, real impact
When you tell people what you did this summer, they literally won't believe you
