Job Description

Remember that cereal you had this morning? The yogurt in your fridge? That protein bar in your backpack? There's a strong chance we touched its formula.

We're Turing Labs - the company very few knows but most tastes every day. Backed by Y Combinator, Insight Partners, and Eric Ries, we're the silent force behind 50,000+ CPG products getting healthier without you even noticing. We're talking Kraft Heinz scale. Fortune 500 scale. "Your-mom-definitely-bought-this" scale.

Now we're building something bigger: The Manhattan Project for food innovation.

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

As our Community Architect, you'll be a movement builder, a narrative crafter, a professional mind-changer. Your targets? The busiest, most skeptical, most accomplished scientists on Earth. Your weapon? Pure intellectual seduction.

Be at the forefront of building a movement! As a Community Engagement Intern, you will help create, cultivate, and energize a peer-driven network of specific technical experts to disrupt industry. The kind of conversations that reshape what 8 billion people eat.

You'll Work Directly With:

  • Founder and executive team
  • Executives from companies whose logos are on your groceries

We're Looking For:

  • Someone who can make a tenured professor feel FOMO
  • A natural debater who turns skeptics into evangelists
  • Equal comfort discussing CRISPR and sourdough starters
  • The kind of person who never takes no for an answer - think “I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM_”_
  • Previous experience making important people do things they didn't plan to do (debate team captain? Started a movement on campus? Convinced your university to divest from fossil fuels? Perfect.)

Why This Isn't Your Average Internship:

  • Your work impacts what millions eat tomorrow
  • You're not fetching coffee; you're building the Illuminati of food innovation
  • Real budget, real autonomy, real impact
  • When you tell people what you did this summer, they literally won't believe you

If interested, please send

  1. A 60-second video or 200-word written pitch: "How I'd convince dean of your college to join a food science community"
  2. One food product you wish existed but doesn't (bonus points for scientific feasibility)

This description clarifies the focus on ongoing engagement and mission-driven community culture over one-off events, in line with how Handshake successfully built its expert network.
