The Team

The Marketing team at Nylas is responsible for helping developers and technical decision-makers discover, evaluate, and adopt the Nylas platform. We combine product marketing, developer advocacy, content, lifecycle marketing, and growth to tell compelling stories, educate our audience, and drive measurable business impact.

As AI continues to transform how people discover software, we're investing in Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)—ensuring Nylas is accurately represented and recommended across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and other AI-powered experiences. This internship offers the opportunity to work on one of the fastest-evolving areas of modern marketing while helping shape how developers find and learn about Nylas.

About the Role

This internship is designed for students entering their junior or senior year of a Marketing, Communications, Business, English, or related program, as well as recent graduates looking to gain hands-on experience in AI-powered marketing. You'll work alongside experienced Product Marketing and Content professionals while owning projects that have real visibility and measurable business impact.

We're looking for a curious, AI-native Marketing Intern to help us improve Nylas' visibility across AI-powered search and answer engines. You'll work alongside Product Marketing and Content to analyze how AI models surface information about Nylas, identify opportunities to improve our presence, and implement content optimizations that drive measurable results.

This isn't a traditional marketing internship. You'll combine competitive research, AI experimentation, SEO fundamentals, content strategy, and analytics to help influence how large language models understand and recommend Nylas. If you're excited by emerging AI technologies, enjoy experimenting with new tools, and want to work on real projects with tangible business impact, we'd love to meet you.
