We don't just find talent. We grow it.

Most of how we hire runs through one path: a paid, mentored internship where you do real work — with Claude — on a real project, and walk away with something you own. It's how we build our own team, and how we create Claude-fluent talent the rest of the ecosystem gets to hire, too.

Real work. Real pay. Built to stay.

How we hire

Grow talent. Distribute talent.

Unicorn Flames runs its own paid internships instead of chasing résumés. We put emerging talent on real projects — building on Claude, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code — with 1:1 mentorship, and we stay involved. The people who come through are ready. Some join us; some go on to the teams we place talent with. We're not extracting from the pipeline. We're building it.

Open path

The 30-Day Internship

Sidequest is our focused 30-day internship: one real project, run in up to three sprints, with 1:1 mentorship from founder Tim Haines and real pay. No busywork, no unpaid labor dressed up as "exposure" — a deliverable you own when it's done.

Not a student? Still say hello.

The internship is our main path today, but if you think you'd add value at Unicorn Flames — and you know your way around Claude — tell us where.
