  • A passion for product and technology: you are fascinated by how technology products are built, launched, and improved, and you are eager to learn and contribute to the product lifecycle.
  • Curious about artificial intelligence: you do not need to be an expert, but you are an enthusiast interested in learning about the latest AI technologies and tools and their potential to improve user experiences.

  • A problem-solver: you enjoy tackling challenges and are motivated to find efficient solutions, you are organized, detail-oriented, and not afraid to ask questions to get to the root of a problem.
  • Eager to learn technical skills: you have an interest in learning data analysis tools; any exposure to SQL or other data tools is a plus, but a strong desire to learn is most important.
  • Collaborative and hands-on: you are a team player who is ready to roll up your sleeves and help with a variety of tasks, from testing new features to analyzing user feedback.

  • Champion the user experience: be a voice for our users; gather, organize, and analyze user feedback from various channels to inform the product roadmap.
  • Streamline team operations: support the team by identifying opportunities to make our processes more efficient, whether through better documentation, improved feedback loops, or simple automations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Coding Agents: Extensive experience building with autonomous agents like Replit Agent and Cursor to move from natural language prompts to production-ready code and complex workflows.
  • Data analysis exposure: basic experience with SQL, Python (Pandas), or data visualization tools like Tableau or Looker.
  • Internship or project experience: previous internships or relevant project work in a tech, startup, or marketplace environment.

About the Company

Instawork

Online platform for hourly staffing

Instawork is an online staffing platform that connects businesses with a large pool of vetted hourly workers for short-term, seasonal, and temp-to-hire roles. It uses an intelligent matching system to pair needs with suitable workers from its database, backed by a thorough vetting process; businesses can view worker profiles and experience as soon as shifts are picked, and they can also hire full-time workers from the same pool. Compared with competitors, Instawork combines a large, vetted worker pool with transparent profiles and data-driven matching, resulting in high repeat usage (93% want workers to return) and low no-show rates (2%). Its goal is to simplify and scale the process of finding reliable hourly workers, helping businesses fill shifts quickly and access ongoing staffing from one source.
