Careers
Work with FirstShift
We are a small, independent team building real-work internships for students and career-break returners in India. We do not post fake job openings. When we have a real role, it is here.
We are not actively hiring full-time roles right now. We are, however, always interested in talking to people who can review student work in a specific domain: a working software engineer, a working marketer, a working data analyst, a working UX researcher, a working content lead. If you do one of these for a living and want to review FirstShift submissions on the side, write to us.
Reviewing for FirstShift means reading student submissions against a published rubric and giving specific written feedback. You set your own hours, you do not manage people, and you get paid per review. It is a good way to stay connected to the next generation of practitioners and to earn side income without the overhead of a formal job.
We are also interested in partner firms: real registered Indian businesses that want to host interns on real briefs. If you run one, we would like to talk. Partner firms benefit from a steady stream of motivated interns who produce real work, and from the exposure that comes with being listed on our site.
We do not post fake openings. When we have a real role, it appears here. If you are interested in joining the team full time when the time comes, the fastest way is to apply as a reviewer first.
