Social Media Intern

Social Media Intern at OptiFlume

Part-time, paid, hybrid in Portland. Starting the second week of January.

Hi, I'm Sushanth, co-founder of OptiFlume. We're a tiny team in Portland, building agent harnesses and adapters that help people use AI efficiently. If you use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, it picks a cheaper model when a task doesn't need the expensive one and shows you how much you saved.

The product works, and people are using it. The problem is that not enough people know about it yet. That's where you come in.

I'm an engineer, and social media isn't my strength. I'm looking for someone good at it and who wants to run it. You'd decide what we post and make it.

What you'd be doing

• Coming up with ideas for posts and short videos. AI costs are a hot topic right now, so there's plenty to talk about.
• Filming and editing short videos and demos. We have some demo footage you can start with.
• Picking two platforms to focus on at first. LinkedIn is probably one of them, and the other is your call.
• Replying to comments and spending time in the communities where our users already hang out.
• Sending me a quick note each week on what worked and what didn't.

About you

• You already make content, whether it's your own account, a club's page or a side project. Send us a link.
• You can shoot and edit short videos. Use whatever app you like.
• You're into AI and tech, but you don't need to code.
• You're fine working on your own without someone checking in every day.
• Marketing, communications, film or design classes help, but they're not required.

What you'll get out of it

You'll leave with a portfolio of real posts and videos, plus the numbers to show how they did. You'll learn how to plan content, read analytics and grow an audience for an actual product, not a class project. You'll also work directly with me, so you'll see how an early startup makes decisions. If it goes well, I'm happy to be a reference.

Hours and pay

$17 an hour, about 10 hours a week. You set the schedule around your classes. In a normal week, that's 2 or 3 short videos and a handful of posts. I'd rather have a few good ones than a lot of rushed ones.

Where

Mostly on your own time, plus regular in-person check-ins with me in Portland. We're close to PSU.

If it goes well and we grow, this could turn into a full-time job.

How to apply

Apply here on Handshake with your resume and links to 2 or 3 things you've made. If you already have an idea for something you'd post for OptiFlume, include it. That's the first thing I'll read.

We're reviewing applications as they come in, so the earlier the better. Please apply by December 5.
