About The Position

The Analytics and AI Solutions Intern will support active software, reporting, and analytics projects using AI-assisted development tools and techniques. Working with software engineers, analytics engineers, and internal stakeholders, the intern will analyze identified needs, translate them into development-ready specifications, and build and test clearly scoped technical solutions. This role is designed for a strong analytical problem solver who is interested in using AI tools to build software, reporting, analytics, and automation solutions. Prior coding experience is preferred but less important than the ability to structure problems, evaluate results, learn technical concepts, and improve solutions through iteration.

• Currently enrolled in post-secondary education with one year or less from graduation.
• Currently working toward a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, or a related field preferred.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to break complex or ambiguous needs into logical components.
• Interest in using AI-assisted development tools to build practical technical solutions.
• Interest in connecting AI to real systems.
• Ability to critically evaluate technical output, identify gaps, and improve solutions through testing and iteration.
• Familiarity with programming, querying, scripting, automation, or report development preferred.
• Familiarity with Python, SQL, JavaScript, or a comparable language preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to learn new tools and technical concepts through hands-on application.
