Social Media Intern

Socket.dev · San Francisco, CA, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

About Us
We're a fast-moving startup building in the real world — our work happens on the factory floor, not just behind a screen. We're small enough that your work will be seen by everyone and matter from day one, and we're growing fast. We want someone who's excited to help tell that story to the world.

The Role
We're looking for a Social Media Intern to own day-to-day growth across our Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts. You'll be hands-on with everything from shooting and editing short-form video to writing captions, jumping on trends, and figuring out what actually makes our audience grow. This is a build-and-experiment role: you'll have real ownership of our channels and the freedom to try things.

If you live on social media, have a feel for what makes content spread, and can turn a rough idea into a scroll-stopping video, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

Plan, create, and publish content across Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn

Shoot and edit short-form video (Reels, Stories, TikTok-style clips)

Grow our follower base and engagement through consistent posting and smart experimentation

Stay on top of trends, formats, and platform changes, and act on them fast

Write clear, on-brand captions and copy — and adapt the voice for each platform (LinkedIn reads differently than TikTok)

Engage with our community — replies, comments, DMs

Track what's working using platform analytics and share what you learn

Pitch new content ideas, series, and campaigns

What We're Looking For

A genuine passion for social media and a strong sense of what performs

Hands-on experience creating and editing video (a personal account, past internship, or portfolio all count)

Comfort in front of and behind the camera

Strong writing and a good instinct for tone and voice

Self-starter energy — you can run with an idea without a lot of hand-holding

Familiarity with Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn as a creator, not just a user

Based in or able to commute to San Francisco (this role is fully onsite)

Nice to Have

Experience with editing tools (CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut, or similar)

A track record of growing an account (yours or someone else's)

Basic graphic design skills (Canva, Figma, Photoshop)

Familiarity with scheduling/analytics tools (Later, Buffer, Sprout, etc.)

Why Join Us

Real ownership of our social presence and room to experiment

Two meals a day provided onsite so you can focus on the work

Onsite factory visits — you'll get to see how things actually get built and turn that into content no one else can make

Direct mentorship and exposure to the whole team, not just marketing

A real shot at converting to a full-time role
