We’re on a mission to make high-quality emotional support available to everyone.
Sonia is a purpose-built AI for emotional support and life coaching. We are building a voice-first consumer product that helps people talk through what is on their mind and build a relationship with an AI that remembers them over time.
We are a lean team in San Francisco, backed by Y Combinator and other great investors, founders, and operators. We move quickly, use AI tools aggressively, and care a lot about the details of what we are building.
We are hiring multiple Consumer Growth Engineering Interns to help build Sonia’s consumer growth engine.
This role sits between growth, content, creator operations, community, partnerships, product, and lightweight engineering. You’ll help us run scrappy experiments across social platforms, creator channels, community partnerships, App Store optimization, referrals, onboarding, and AI-powered growth systems.
You do not need to be a traditional software engineer, but you should be technical enough to use AI tools, automation, no-code tools, scripts, dashboards, agents, and whatever else helps you move faster. The core question is: can you take an ambiguous growth idea and turn it into something live in the world?
You will be AI-native from day one. We will give you access to the tools you need to move fast: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, AI research agents, image/video tools, scraping and search tools, analytics tools, marketing agents, and any reasonable workflow software that helps you execute.
The expectation is not that you manually grind through tasks. The expectation is that you build systems and repeatable workflows that make the work faster every week.
We care less about credentials and more about evidence that you can ship, distribute, learn quickly, and use AI to do unusually high-output work.
You might be a great fit if you have grown a social account, built a community, shipped a side project, organized events, run a newsletter, made content people actually watched, built useful automations, or found some other way to get people to notice something you made.
You should have strong writing instincts, good taste, internet fluency, high follow-through, and comfort reaching out to creators, partners, communities, and users. Coding is a plus, but agency and distribution instincts matter more.
Send us the most impressive distribution work you have: a social account, community, newsletter, website, side project, creator partnership, event, campaign, tool, bot, or anything else that shows you can make people notice, join, share, install, subscribe, show up, or care.
Also include when you are available, whether you want to work full-time / part-time / project-based, whether you can be in San Francisco, and what you would try in your first two weeks growing Sonia.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
