We’re Waypoint. We’re on a mission to help cities automate transportation planning and eventually urban planning broadly. Cities face staffing shortages and budget crunches, but good planning is essential for tackling challenges like affordability, mobility, and design of human-centric cities.
We’re already working with 10+ municipalities across the US to bring AI into their daily workflows, freeing up planners to focus on the big problems.
As an intern, you’ll work on real customer-facing projects that shape how cities operate. We believe an internship here is the best training for becoming a founder: you’ll get autonomy, ownership, and mentorship while solving hard, meaningful problems. We’re full through the summer but are open to interns any time of the year.

What We’re Looking For
Waypoint Transit is an AI city planner that generates civil infrastructure studies. Cities spend $50B/year on planning. With Waypoint, cities can generate reports in months rather than years, and at 30% of the cost.
Varun and Ryan met at Stanford, where they graduated with degrees in CS and EE respectively. Before founding Waypoint, Varun worked on AI at Microsoft and Ryan worked on chip design at Apple.
US cities are facing three major crises: congestion, budget deficits, and climate change. At the same time, city governments are understaffed and frequently need to contract work out to expensive consultants. Leveraging recent advancements in AI, we empower cities to reduce their costs, build infrastructure, and respond to problems quickly.
In the United States, state and local governments spend $50B/year on planning. Through automation, we can redefine the existing transportation and urban planning consulting markets.

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.
