Role description
Growth Intern (Summer 2026 in NYC)
XTrace- Location: New York City, New York
- In-person
- Duration: Summer 2026 (4–8 weeks, flexible start)
- Compensation: Paid (monthly stipend)
About XTrace
XTrace is building the procedural memory cloud for AI agents — what one agent learns, every agent and teammate knows. Backed by Stanford and Draper, whether teams use Claude, Codex, or build their own AI agents, we help them share skills, artifacts, and memory across agents and teammates without ever copy-pasting context again. We're an early-stage, fast-moving team in the middle of the AI agent boom, and growth is everyone's job.
The Role
This is a boots-on-the-ground growth role. You'll be XTrace's face at Bay Area tech events every day and turn what you see, hear, and learn into content that grows both XTrace's audience and your own. If you love the AI scene, thrive on meeting people, and are already posting (or dying to post) about tech, this is your summer.
What You'll Do
- Attend tech events daily — AI meetups, demo days, and conferences in NYC. Represent XTrace, demo the product, and collect leads and insights.
- Create content for XTrace — turn events, launches, and user stories into posts for X (@XTrace_ai), LinkedIn, YouTube, and Discord. Own the content calendar and ship daily.
- Build your own audience — grow your personal X/LinkedIn presence as a builder in the AI agent space. We'll coach you; your following is yours to keep.
- Close the loop — bring back what founders, developers, and AI teams say at events to shape our messaging and product roadmap.
- Track what works — measure engagement, follower growth, and event-sourced leads; double down on what performs.
What We're Looking For
- Based in the Bay Area with the energy to be out at events 5+ days a week
- Active on X and/or LinkedIn, or a strong writer eager to build in public
- Genuine interest in AI agents and developer tools; comfortable explaining technical products
- Self-directed — you find the events, get in the room, and start conversations
- Bonus: video editing, fluent in multiple languages, prior startup or community experience
- Big plus if you can do magic tricks 🪄 — anything that breaks the ice at a meetup
What You'll Get
- Paid internship + covered event tickets and travel
- Direct mentorship from the founding team
- A public portfolio: content with real reach, a bigger personal brand, and a network across the NYC AI scene
- Front-row seat at a Stanford- and Draper-backed startup defining a new category
