The Work

8020ai is hiring three interns to execute a documented 16-week web development and digital infrastructure build for a portfolio company. The scope is written. The wireframes exist. The component spec, content templates, CRM schema, and ad campaign structure are all documented. Your job is execution against spec.

This is production work. We're not asking you to invent approaches, design strategies, or contribute ideas about direction. We need disciplined builders who can ship clean work against clear briefs, communicate clearly when they're blocked, and meet defined quality bars.

If that sounds boring, this isn't the role. If that sounds like a place you can focus and do good work, read on.

How We Work

  • Specs first. Every task ships with a written brief, acceptance criteria, and a definition of done. If the spec isn't clear, you ask before building.
  • Git workflow. Feature branches, pull requests, code review for non-trivial changes. main is production. dev is staging.
  • Staging before production. Nothing goes live without QA on staging.
  • Documentation expected. When you build a workflow, automation, or component, you document it. We don't ship undocumented systems.
  • Daily async standup. Three lines in Slack: what you finished, what you're on next, what's blocked.
  • Weekly Friday delivery report. Screenshots, metrics, blockers, status.
  • Bi-weekly live review. 30 minutes. Demo what you shipped.

Logistics

  • Hours: 20–40 hrs/week. Flexible. We measure output, not seat time.
  • Location: Remote.
  • Start date: Two weeks from offer acceptance.
  • Duration: 12–16 weeks. Extension possible if execution is strong and there's continued work.
  • Tools: Provided.

Required to Apply

  • A portfolio, GitHub, or equivalent proof of work for your track
