This is a full-time internship opportunity to gain hands-on experience at an early-stage AI company, supporting critical functions across hiring, onboarding, compliance, office management, and employee experience. You'll also represent Simular at hackathons, career fairs, and community events, making this a dynamic role that extends beyond traditional HR tasks.

This position offers a unique window into how a modern, AI-focused organization operates from the inside out. You'll work across multiple departments, touching everything from talent acquisition to IT compliance to process automation, giving you broad exposure to business operations.

Events & Community Engagement

• Coordinate with external vendors including insurance providers, IT service partners, and other essential service providers
• Support employment compliance across multiple jurisdictions, handling contracts, visa applications, and labor law requirements
• Maintain organized employee records and documentation

AI & Process Automation

• Identify repetitive operations workflows and help automate them using AI tools, no-code platforms, or custom scripts
• Build and maintain internal automations such as onboarding checklists, compliance reminders, and candidate pipeline tracking systems
• Develop practical AI literacy by working daily with AI agents and large language models (LLMs) as part of standard operations
• Help the team stay at the frontier of AI: test emerging tools, document what works, and share best practices across the organization

• Clear, professional communication abilities across written and verbal channels
• Proactive mindset: you identify problems and take initiative to solve them without waiting for direction
• Genuine curiosity about AI and a desire to build real AI literacy, not just surface-level familiarity with tools

• Interest in people operations, business processes, and organizational development
• Willingness to work hands-on across diverse operational areas
