Founding batch · Sayge
Sayge is opening a new vertical, and this internship is how it starts. Two batches. Five people in each. Four months from 15 December, built from scratch, in public.
You join as founding members. One batch takes the fintech app. The other takes the pet care app. Same studio, two different sets of work, small enough that your name is on what ships.
Five people to a batch. Close enough to argue a decision in the morning and ship it in the afternoon. The vertical is new, so the culture is the work itself: taste, craft, and the nerve to put your name on something unfinished.
You will be in the room where the product changes. There is no bench and no layer between you and the thing being made. What your batch ships is yours to point at.
Four roles. The work has the same shape in both batches. One batch builds Fintech. The other builds Pet care. You write for the role. Both apps get built, from scratch, in public, from 15 December for four months.
Freshers can apply for every role. A degree is not required. Years of experience are not the bar. The bar is something you have already made, sent to humans@sayge.in before 30 November.
You build the product. The mobile app and the web app, from an empty start to something a beta user can open. You ship in public, so the work is visible while it is still rough.
We expect you to take a decision from the room and turn it into software the same week. You show unfinished work, and you can say why it is built the way it is.
FreshersYes. A first role is fine if something you built can be opened and tried.
RequirementsNo degree. No year count. No fixed stack on this page. In the email, show a product, a repo, or a feature you owned, in the tools you already use.
You give the product a face. Branding, and the design of the mobile app and the web app. Screens, type, and a system that holds together as the batch ships in public.
We expect taste you can defend, and the pace to put a direction in front of the batch while it can still change.
FreshersYes. A self-initiated brand or a set of real screens is enough. Studio experience is not required.
RequirementsNo degree. No named tool list. The email should include a portfolio: product screens, a brand, or both.
You decide what the batch builds next. You sit with early users, shape the beta community, and keep the four months pointed at a product people can actually use. The finer product detail comes after you join. Your job is to make that detail real with the batch.
We expect you to write the problem down, cut scope, and stay with a decision after it ships.
FreshersYes, if you have shaped something people used. A side project counts. A product-manager title does not.
RequirementsNo degree. No year count. In the email, show one decision you made and what happened after it.
You take the product into the world while it is being made. Campaigns, and content on the platforms where these users actually are. By the end, that content is part of what the batch leaves behind, next to the apps and the brand.
We expect you to publish before the work is precious, and to know what the piece is for.
FreshersYes. A personal series, a campaign you ran, or work for a small brand is enough.
RequirementsNo degree. No follower count. No platform list on this page. In the email, show the work and where it lived.
If your practice sits between these titles, write anyway. Bring the thing you made.
A fintech app.
A pet care app.
Both apps get built. The two batches work on different sets: one on fintech, one on pet care. More detail on each product comes after you join. Both start from nothing.
Each batch leaves its set with these in place.
01
A beta user community
02
A mobile app
03
A web app
04
Branding and design
05
Content on relevant media platforms
The making is public. People outside the studio can watch both products take shape, week by week. The record is the work itself, while it is still being made.
You show unfinished work. You explain a decision while it is still warm. The other batch can see you get better, and so can anyone paying attention. That is the room.
Applications close on 30 November. Email humans@sayge.in before then, with the subject below so the note is easy to find.
Include something you have built, a portfolio, or a campaign or idea that was yours. Show how you work when the brief was yours.
Shortlisted candidates get the detail for the rounds that follow. Those rounds are different for each person. You are the best person to help yourself. Bring the work only you could have made, and make the case in your own way.
