Internship Opportunity for Web Development Knowledgeable Tech Grad/Student: Marketing Communications
Details
Description
This is a part-time, remote-friendly internship supporting our public communications and fundraising pipeline. The Marketing Communications Intern will produce articles for mainly technical audiences on topics ranging from Typescript/node-js development to ethical tech, to the social impacts of AI.
We're a small, sporadically funded collective as of right now. So this role is less about filling fixed hours and more about finding someone genuinely motivated by the mission — someone who can help us build the case for more significant funding that lets us pay _you_ on a more regular basis, and bring on more people down the line.
Qualifications
- Comp Sci, EE bachelor's or higher, or advanced degree in another STEM discipline and a demonstrated portfolio of equivalent experience
- Proven record as an activist or volunteer for causes aligned with our mission
- Strong technical writing skills, as well as ability to address social implications of new technologies
- Track record of published articles on technology, or comparable writing samples
- Interest in (or prior experience with) grant writing or nonprofit fundraising
Key Responsibilities
- Write and publish articles explaining the novel principles behind the technology we've built so far
- Write applications for grants and non-profit fiscal sponsorships
- Help build our public presence — newsletter content, social media, and outreach materials aimed at mission-aligned organizations
Salary Range: $1,000 stipend, scope open — see "How to Apply"
How to Apply
We're keeping scope intentionally open, and if you prefer one aspect of the work and not the other (e.g., technical article writing, but no interest in writing grants), we might be able work with that. If your profile looks like a good fit we would ideally book an hour to go over what we are doing, and you can tell us where _you_ want to jump in.
Benefits
Benefits
- Learn how to leverage AI in research & writing -- we will teach you if you don't know how

- A byline on published work explaining genuinely novel technology
- Real-world impact: the funding proposals and articles you write directly support the collective's ability to operate and grow
- For students: a portfolio-building opportunity with real organizational stakes
