• Commercial storytelling: You speak with brevity and distill complexity so a time‑starved CEO instantly sees value.

Hiring Process

We don't hire like a MAG7 or scale up — in fact we rarely hire compared to them.

You shouldn't expect a cookie-cutter high-volume hiring process with us — but a more boutique one that allows you to see a lot of the organization before joining us.

We build a thesis in what an individual brings to our very small team, versus simply matching qualifications:

1. 30‑min intro (values & motivations)

2. 60‑min technical interview (ML fundamentals & problem‑solving)

3. Project discussion with team members

Position Status

This posting represents an active, future internship vacancy on our team. We will be interviewing for this role in the fall.

Georgian is dedicated to building an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. We provide reasonable accommodations throughout our recruitment process to ensure every candidate has the opportunity to perform at their best.

Use of AI

Innovation is at our core and we use artificial intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, such as screening and evaluating applications.
