Now launching

Cleve's startup internship program

What you get

The deal

We can't offer big-company perks. We can offer something rarer: scope, speed, and a team that ships.

01

Real users, day one

Your work ships to 40,000+ people in your first week. No sandbox projects, no busywork, no waiting your turn.

02

Equity for builders

We want the people who build Cleve to own a piece of it. Equity is on the table for the right people.

03

Founders at arm's reach

You'll work directly with the CEO, CTO, and CMO. Feedback loops are measured in minutes, not meetings.

04

The AI frontier, daily

New models drop and we're using them that afternoon. The latest LLMs, embeddings, and tooling are standard kit here.

05

Flexible hybrid

Up to 3 days a week from our office in AICB, Kuala Lumpur. Flexible hours. We care about output, not attendance.

06

Use what you build

We run the entire company on Cleve. You'll feel every rough edge you ship, and every fix you make.

Why we exist

A short letter, worth reading

From the founders · Kuala Lumpur

Hey, it's Ash.

Thought of sharing why we even started Cleve in the first place.

Lizzie, Rashad and I loved what the creator economy enabled.

With podcasts, reels, tiktoks, linkedin, youtube videos and more, we were able to learn from many of the best minds of the world, for free.

However, there were many voices that weren't represented.

Many people have amazing stories, experiences and knowledge to share, but they couldn't share it because they didn't have the time, they didn't know how to optimise for the platforms, and unlike the bigger creators, they didn't have the money to hire a team.

Their ideas would never reach the people who need to see them.

We wanted to change that, and build tools that help people share their ideas easily, in a way that's optimised for the internet.

That's why Cleve exists. And if you're up for it, that's the challenge we'd love for you to join us on.

The honest part

Before you apply

We're an early-stage startup competing on a global stage. That's the whole pitch, and we'd rather you know what it means before you apply than three weeks in.

What we won't give you

  • Hand-holding. You'll get context and trust, not step-by-step instructions.
  • A fixed long-term plan. Gen AI moves weekly, and so do we.
  • Someone checking in on your work. You'll be expected to show up with it.

What you can count on

  • Real scope from your first week, on a product people use every day.
  • Founders who ship alongside you and answer in minutes.
  • Compounding skills: AI tooling, speed, and taste you'll carry everywhere.

If you ship first and ask great questions, you'll thrive here.

How it works

The process

From application to working with us in days, not months. Four steps, no ghosting.

  1. Step 01 · 5 minutes

    Apply

    One form. Show us proof of work: links beat resumes, every time.

  2. Step 02 · 30 minutes

    Interview

    A real conversation with a founder about what you've built and what you want to build. No riddles, no leetcode theatre.

  3. Step 03 · varies by role

    Assessment

    For some roles, a small take-home that looks suspiciously like actual work. Because it is.

  4. Step 04 · 7 days, paid

    Trial week

    Work with us for a week. You see how we operate, we see how you ship. Then we both decide.

The team

Three humans and a chameleon

We're building the second brain we wish we had, and the 40,000+ people who use Cleve every day are proof we're onto something.
