Socratix AI
AI coworkers for fraud and risk teams.
Founder's Associate Intern
About the role
As a Founder’s Associate Intern at Socratix AI, you’ll work directly with the founders on the highest-priority initiatives across product, customers, and operations. This is not a traditional internship - you’ll operate as an extension of the founding team, helping drive execution across the company.
You’ll gain firsthand exposure to what it takes to build and scale a venture-backed AI startup, from shipping features to closing enterprise customers.
If you’re excited about ownership, ambiguity, and high-impact work, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do
- Sit in on customer calls and synthesize insights into clear product requirements.
- Drive cross-functional projects across engineering, product, and go-to-market.
- Write product specs (PRDs), structure roadmaps, and track execution.
- Support enterprise pilots and deployments, ensuring customers see impact quickly.
- Conduct market research and competitive analysis in fraud, risk, and AI.
- Help build internal systems (analytics dashboards, ops processes, documentation).
- Identify bottlenecks and proactively solve them - no task is too small or too strategic.
This role evolves with company needs - you’ll work on whatever moves the needle most that week.
What We’re Looking For
Must-haves:
- Currently pursuing a degree in CS or related field.
- Exceptional structured thinking and written communication.
- Strong analytical skills (comfortable with spreadsheets, data analysis, or SQL).
- High agency - you don’t wait to be told what to do.
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving environments.
- Deep curiosity about startups, AI, and enterprise software.
Nice-to-haves (but not required):
- Prior startup, consulting, or venture experience.
- Technical fluency (you can understand APIs, AI workflows, or backend systems).
- Experience in product management or operations.
- Interest in becoming a founder or early startup operator.
What You’ll Gain
- Direct mentorship from founders who’ve built and scaled AI systems at DoorDash, Cruise, LinkedIn, and Unit21.
- Exposure to enterprise sales cycles and customer strategy.
- End-to-end ownership of high-impact company initiatives.
- Insight into roadmap decisions and strategic trade-offs.
- A front-row seat to building AI agents used in production.
- Opportunity to convert to a full-time role based on performance.
About Socratix AI
Socratix AI builds AI coworkers for fraud and risk teams—agents that investigate alerts in real time and replace manual workflows with fast, explainable decisions. Our agents integrate seamlessly into existing workflows and reason across signals like human analysts, helping teams cut fraud losses, reduce false positives, and scale operations without increasing headcount.
Since launch, we’ve seen strong market traction, closing multiple six-figure contracts. Now, we’re growing quickly to keep pace with demand and are excited to expand our founding team in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you’re passionate about building at the frontier of AI and financial security, we’d love to have you on the journey.
Who We Are
We’ve seen this problem firsthand. At DoorDash, Riya built intelligent fraud detection and investigation tools that saved the company $30M+ annually, and at Unit21, she created products that enabled analysts to work 3× faster. At Cruise, Satya scaled AI systems to handle petabytes of data, and at LinkedIn, he launched enterprise products from 0 → 1, generating millions in new revenue.
Together, we bring deep expertise in fraud and AI (MIT, IIT, UCLA alumni). We’re backed by Y Combinator, Pear VC, and founders/operators from DoorDash, Gusto, Square, OpenAI, and Roblox.
Our mission: to build AI coworkers that transform how fraud and risk teams operate.
