Who is Rainforest?
Rainforest is an early stage payments-as-a-service startup that has developed a solution that makes monetizing payments for vertically focused software platforms fair and simple.
We focus on small-to-mid sized platforms that want to add value to their small business customers through embedded payments — and want to do so without adding operational or regulatory burdens or costs.
Led by a successful repeat fintech founder with deep knowledge of the industry, and with venture backing from a Top 10 VC firm, Rainforest is well positioned to make an impact in the payments-as-a-service space, and we're looking for new team members who want to be a part of this journey!
We're hiring one intern for our Payment Operations (PayOps) team for the spring semester. You'll work on real operational data and real customer questions, not busywork, and you'll finish with a project you can put on your resume and walk an interviewer through.

Organize and manage the operational data our support team and AI support agent rely on
Find and fix data quality issues, and help design processes that keep them from coming back
Build basic reports that help the team see what's happening in the business
Learn customer support from the ground up, drafting replies to platform questions under the guidance of our support lead
Present your semester's work to the company at the end of your term
What you'll get
Hands-on experience in payments operations at an AI-forward fintech startup
A dedicated manager who reviews your work and gives you regular feedback
Training on how payments and embedded payments work
Exposure to how a startup's operations, product, and risk teams work together
The chance to return for the July to December semester, based on performance
