About Atlan

Atlan is the metadata operating system for modern data teams. We help companies like WeWork, Plaid, Postman, and Cisco manage the chaos of their data ecosystems by bringing trust, collaboration, and delight back into the data experience.

We’re building the future of data collaboration, and that starts with building a world-class team. Hiring the right people is core to our mission — and that’s where you come in.

Why This Role?

Atlan is looking for a Talent Acquisition Intern to help us find and engage the next generation of world-class Atlanians. You’ll work closely with our recruiting team to find exceptional candidates, design delightful candidate experiences, and help scale our hiring processes.

If you’ve ever been curious about what it takes to build teams at a fast-growing global startup — this internship is a chance to learn, experiment, and make a real impact.

• Sourcing & Research: Find creative ways to identify and engage top talent across functions like Engineering, Product, and Design.
• Candidate Experience: Help design and deliver empathetic, human-first communication at every step of the process.
• Operational Excellence: Track candidate pipelines, spot bottlenecks, and suggest improvements using data.

• Innovation: Experiment with new ideas in recruiting (e.g., automation, or creative outreach campaigns).

What Makes You A Great Fit?

We value problem-solving skills and the ability to work well with people, and while prior internship experience in recruiting or HR operations is a big plus, it’s not a mandatory requirement to succeed in this role.

• Problem Solving: You’re resourceful and can figure things out even with limited instructions.
