the work

Find operational inefficiencies and build the AI-driven solutions, automation tools and backend systems that remove them. You get hands-on exposure to real industrial problems inside an operation that is being rebuilt around AI — not a sandbox, not a training project.

three months, three tracks

01

Process improvement and automation

  • Identify and automate manual, repetitive or inefficient processes across departments.
  • Recommend eliminating or optimising redundant workflows and systems.
  • Build practical AI-driven solutions for real business and operational problems.
02

Development and technical execution

  • Build internal tools, scripts and backend systems.
  • Work with APIs, databases and server-side logic to support automation work.
  • Build scalable workflows and data pipelines that run in production.
03

Cross-functional collaboration

  • Work with operations, manufacturing and management teams to understand the real problem.
  • Translate operational problems into practical, technology-driven solutions.
  • Support modernisation work involving automation and robotics.

what you need to show us

Technical skills

  • Strong Python, at production-level quality.
  • Good SQL: complex queries, schema design, optimisation.
  • Backend development — APIs, databases, pipelines, server-side logic.
  • Background job and worker patterns: queues, polling loops, retries, idempotent processing.
  • Comfort designing config-driven or schema-driven systems that generalise, rather than hardcoded one-off logic.

AI-native development

  • Hands-on with at least one AI coding tool — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or Codex.
  • You have built AI agents that take real actions: calling tools, triggering workflows, acting on data. Not just chat interfaces.

Projects (mandatory)

  • At least one meaningful real-world project you can show us.
  • Tutorial-based or generic portfolio projects will not be considered.

We are not looking for chatbot-only projects with no backend depth, or simple website builds with minimal technical complexity.

what you leave with

Three months, and something real to point at.

  • Hands-on experience solving real industrial and operational problems.
  • Exposure to manufacturing, automation, robotics and AI-driven systems.
  • Freedom to experiment with modern AI tools and technologies.
  • Access to the resources you need to build something that actually ships.
  • A performance-based PPO (pre-placement offer) opportunity.

how to apply

Apply with your work — projects, code or systems you have built. Degree, college and CGPA do not matter. Student, dropout or self-taught does not matter. Certificates do not matter.

who you are joining

PotionLabs.

We are an AI solutions company. We build AI-native systems that run the operational core of a business — not another dashboard bolted on top of one. We sit on top of the system a customer already has; their books stay in Tally or SAP.

Our first product, the AI Intelligence Workforce, is live in production at JD Jones & Co., a century-old manufacturer, where order entry went from about 8 hours to about 2 minutes. The headless kernel — the architecture where a new customer is read rather than custom-built for — is in build.

Manufacturing is our proving ground, not our ceiling. The team works from the Park Street office in Kolkata.
