DRYFT
Ideas only change the world when you build them at scale. That’s what Dryft is here for.
Dryft builds models that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations. We capture the knowledge of experienced operators across supply chain, production planning, engineering and more, simulate the consequences of their decisions, and use this understanding to help run their business. Our customers include some of the largest robotics, machine and component manufacturers in the world.
We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world: cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM and TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and people who have built everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.
What matters more to us than credentials is how people work: humility, hard work, speed, kindness, deep customer care, and a willingness to take on problems others avoid. Working at Dryft is hard. You get unusual ownership early on, with real responsibility. But that’s also what makes it one of the biggest learning experiences of your life.
We’re backed by founders and operators behind some of the most legendary tech companies of our time, Tier-1 U.S. venture firms, and board members of global industrial companies.
ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is building the intelligence layer that will power the next.
THE ROLE
Every great company starts with exceptional people, and the best of them are rarely looking. As our Talent & Growth Intern, you'll work directly with our founders to find them early, put Dryft on their radar, and get them excited to build with us. Think of it as venture capital, except your portfolio is people. One day you're spotting the standout at a hackathon, the next you're hosting a dinner for the most ambitious people in the city, and in between you're turning a "maybe later" into a "when can I start?"
Scout the outliers: find the people who'll be impossible to hire in three years, from lecture halls and competitions to every other corner of the market, and get to them first
Make Dryft the place to be: throw the hackathons, founder dinners and parties nobody wants to miss, and launch the campaigns and stunts that bring people to us before we ever reach out
Build the team that builds Dryft: turn your top finds into hires, get every one of them to yes, and grow into a full-time role in Talent, Growth or Special Projects
Building the world's best team is Dryft's highest priority. You'll meet more exceptional people in six months than most do in a decade, and you'll be the reason they choose Dryft.
YOU
Fast-paced experience: you've thrived somewhere fast-moving, like a high-growth startup, a student initiative or something you built yourself, and you're obsessed with startups and the people who build them
Community builder: you've grown a student initiative, an event series or a network from nothing, and the best people kept coming back
Talent magnet: you spot who is going to make it long before their CV does, and after ten minutes with you, they want in
Sense of urgency: you keep fifty conversations moving at once, and when you meet someone exceptional, they hear from you that same day
Genuine & zero ego: you're honest with people even when the answer is no, and you'd rather see the team win than get the credit
Language: you speak native-level German and fluent English
Relocation: you're ready to work onsite in Munich
