Intern — Open Application (Los Altos)
About The Position
Cheiron is building the first AI-native operating system designed to represent an entire drug program as a single connected system. The platform helps biopharma teams represent, reason over, and stress-test the claims, evidence, decisions, and commitments, driving the drug program to completion. This General Internship is for applicants who can make a meaningful contribution outside the roles listed on our careers page. It is for candidates who may bring expertise in an area Cheiron hasn’t hired for yet, combine skills across disciplines, or see an important problem they’re particularly well equipped to solve. Applicants will need to provide a clear proposal: what role they could serve, why Cheiron needs it, and what they could accomplish during their internship. If there’s a strong fit, the company will work with the intern to define a focused scope with concrete deliverables.
Requirements
- Relevant skills demonstrated through projects, research, previous work, or other substantive experience.
- A thoughtful understanding of Cheiron and a convincing case for your proposed contribution.
- Evidence of personal ownership: you can explain what you did, the decisions you made, and the results.
- Initiative, sound judgment, and the ability to make progress on an unfamiliar or loosely defined problem.
- Clear communication and a willingness to work closely with people across disciplines.
- We welcome applicants from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Technical expertise is relevant where your proposed work requires it; there is no single required major or skill set.
Responsibilities
- Identify a specific problem or opportunity where your skills can help Cheiron.
- Work with the relevant team to define priorities, deliverables, and measures of success.
- Own a project from initial investigation through execution and handoff.
- Seek feedback, communicate progress clearly, and adapt as you learn.
- Deliver work that the team can use and build on after your internship.
Benefits
- Relocation support may be available on a case-by-case basis.
