Tech stack: AI tooling (ChatGPT, Claude Code) + scripting

• New grad to 2 years experience
• Technical fluency: ChatGPT, Claude Code daily
• High-intensity background: top tech internships or startup
• Extreme ownership, operates independently
• Technical major or CS / ML / engineering background preferred
• SF in-person — 6 days/week

• Active technical work shipped: GitHub presence, side projects with AI tooling, hackathon wins, or independent technical builds
• Top-company technical internship pedigree (FAANG, frontier AI lab, quant trading firm) demonstrating high-intensity execution
• Prior startup or founding-engineering experience with real shipping track record
• CS, ML, or technical major paired with operator instincts; can move between code and coordination fluently
• AI-native daily usage of Claude Code, ChatGPT, or comparable tools as production aids, not just experimentally

• Pure researcher mindset without shipping bias. Wants to study AI rather than ship operational systems alongside it.
• Cannot work long hours or weekends; pushes back on intensity expectations
• Strong technical degree but no demonstrated shipping signal (no GitHub, no side projects, no internship work)
• AI tourist: has heard of Claude Code and ChatGPT but doesn't use them daily on real workflows
• Looking for a structured rotational program or predictable scope similar to banking/consulting/big-tech entry tracks
