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
If interested, please send
1. A 60-second video or 200-word written pitch: "How I'd convince dean of your college to join a food science community"
2. One food product you wish existed but doesn't (bonus points for scientific feasibility)
