Claude Code / AI Intern

Our Mission

We're building a private equity platform for the AI era. We acquire mission-critical vertical SaaS companies ($1-10M ARR) and transform them using AI and modern technology. We're a team of former investors from Accel, backed by some of the world's leading technology investors including Reef Pass, Prosus Ventures, Accel, and the founders of Mainsail and TCV. We've raised >$50M and acquired four companies in less than nine months.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Claude Code / AI Intern to work alongside our founders and help build the AI-powered infrastructure behind Recur. You'll be shipping real projects from week one - building internal tools and automations, prototyping AI workflows for our portfolio companies, and finding creative ways to make a small team operate like one ten times its size.

What You'll Do

• →Build internal tools, automations, and workflows using Claude Code and AI-native development tools
• →Prototype AI-powered features and processes for Recur's portfolio companies
• →Research and test new AI tools, frameworks, and techniques - then figure out how we can actually use them
• →Help design and improve Recur's internal systems for deal sourcing, diligence, and portfolio operations
• →Work directly with the founders on high-priority projects that change week to week
• →Document what you build so the team can maintain and extend it

What We're Looking For

• →Genuine obsession with AI tools - you've used Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools to build real projects (not just toy demos)
• →A builder's mindset: you see a manual process and immediately think "I can automate that"
• →Comfortable working with code, even if you're not a traditional software engineer - scrappy and resourceful beats formal CS every time
• →Self-directed and organised: you can take a vague brief and turn it into a working prototype
• →Curious and fast-learning - you pick up new tools in hours, not weeks
• →Studying or recently graduated in any field - we care about what you've built, not what you studied

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to learn how AI is actually being deployed in a real business - not in a research lab, but in the messy, high-stakes world of acquiring and growing software companies. You'll work directly with the founders and gain experience across investing, operations, and product.

Location

Flexible - remote-friendly with the option to work from our New York or Chicago offices.

Compensation

Paid internship. Compensation depends on experience and hours.

To Apply

Do not apply through LinkedIn. Send a short Loom video to info@recursoftware.com introducing yourself and walking us through something you've built that you're proud of - a project, a tool, an automation, anything that shows how you think and build.
