About The Position

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions. We are building an AI-native culture and are looking for early career talent to join our SharkByte program. This program is designed for builders who want to learn by doing, move fast, and see their work in production. As a SharkByte Applied AI & Analytics Intern, you will be at the center of SharkNinja’s company-wide AI transformation, working on high-impact, cross-functional business problems that drive measurable impact across the organization. Interns are embedded into real SharkNinja initiatives with ownership, visibility, and direct collaboration alongside technical and business leaders. You will partner closely with teams across the company to use AI and analytics to turn data into insights that inform decision-making and help shape real business outcomes. This experience sits at the intersection of SharkNinja’s Jailbreak AI initiative, a company-wide movement backed by $1M in innovation awards, giving interns exposure to real AI deployments. Participants will gain access to AI tools and environments used across the company, including Claude Enterprise and a personal AWS sandbox. The program is built for students with experience in software engineering, AI/ML, full-stack development, automation, or data analytics who are ready to apply their skills in a fast-paced business environment. Interns also participate in Early Edge programming focused on mentorship, networking, and professional development, while gaining exposure to executives, AI founders, and company-wide innovation events. Top performers may receive return offers or future full-time opportunities, and every participant leaves with a SharkByte AI Certification.
