Pre- Sales Engineer

Role Overview

We’re looking for a smart, adaptable, and driven generalist to join the Founder’s Office as an intern. This isn’t your typical internship. 

You'll work directly with the founder, be given context and direction, but execution will be your game. You must know how to break down bottlenecks, navigate ambiguity, and solve problems in your own creative way — while staying aligned with the larger vision.

What You’ll Do

• Shadow & Execute: Work closely with the founder on a wide range of tasks – think strategy, operations, marketing, product, partnerships, and more.
• Problem Solve: Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies across functions and solve them proactively.
• Take Ownership: Own tasks end-to-end – from planning to execution, while keeping stakeholders updated.
• Wear Multiple Hats: Be ready to switch between roles – researcher, operations ninja, strategist, customer champion – sometimes in the same day.
• Make It Happen: Be resourceful. You’ll often have to find solutions your way – fast, scrappy, and smart.

Who You Are

• A generalist who thrives on variety and new challenges.
• A self-starter – you don’t wait for instructions; you ask the right questions and make things happen.
• Problem-first thinker – you see a roadblock and immediately start thinking of workarounds.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, chaos, and rapid change.
• You believe “done is better than perfect”, but you don’t compromise on quality.
• Strong communicator – both written and verbal.

Nice to Have (But Not Must)

• Past experience in early-stage startups or founder’s office-type roles.
• Exposure to tools like Notion, Google Sheets, Canva, Figma, or Zapier.
• Interest in food, D2C, or brand-building.

Why Join Us

• Direct mentorship from the founder
• Opportunity to work across multiple domains – a crash course in building a startup
• Learn how to operate and scale zero-to-one

• • Be a core part of something that’s just getting started

Responsibilities:

• Good understanding of programming language
• Concepts of Java, Maven
• Source Control
• Logically Strong in coding practices
• Data structure Understanding.
• Security encryption and decryption
• Data encoding decoding

Requirements:

• Strong core Java development skills.
