Moontower Intern (Remote, 5–10 hrs/week, $25/hr)
Work directly with Kris Abdelmessih on a mix of creative, analytical, and educational projects.
Flexible hours. Mentorship included. Bonus potential.
Moontower is an evolving, often wide-ranging mix of writing, software, and education rooted in trading and derivatives. I’m Kris Abdelmessih—former options market maker and hedge fund portfolio manager, co-founder of Moontower.ai, writer of the Moontower newsletter, and an educator determined to help people make better decisions by breaking down or re-framing complex ideas into useful comparisons.
I’m looking for a resourceful, conscientious intern who’s excited to learn and build. Your responsibilities can span a wide range — from editing educational content including videos, prototyping visual dashboards, driving growth campaigns, developing merch, researching companies or topics, coding/deploying simple games.
This role is perfect for a college student or curious young person with a mix of technical and creative instincts. You probably don’t know how to do all the tasks that will be required but you’re confident you can get up to speed quickly (not because you’re a delusional Tony Robbins positivist but because you have a track record of quick competence).
You’re coachable, take pride in being reliable, and bring energy to whatever you touch. The best fit is someone who expects to challenge the frontier of their existing know-how — someone who can operate with minimal task guidance. I often have a strong sense of what I want to convey, but I’m open-minded and happy to experiment on the how.
Work will be diverse and sometimes loosely defined. You’ll need to be comfortable figuring things out and moving rough ideas into sharp deliverables. Example projects include:
