This role
SharkByte is SharkNinja's AI-native early talent program, designed for builders who want to learn by doing, move fast, and see their work in production, not in a slide deck at the end of the summer. As a SharkByte Applied AI & Analytics Intern, you'll 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. From day one, interns are embedded into real SharkNinja initiatives with ownership, visibility, and direct collaboration alongside technical and business leaders. You'll 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, not sandbox exercises. Participants also gain access to the same AI tools and environments used across the company, including Claude Enterprise and a personal AWS sandbox, allowing them to build, test, and experiment without friction. 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 from day one. 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 have pathways to return offers or future full-time opportunities, and every participant leaves with a SharkByte AI Certification tied directly to the work they shipped and the impact they delivered.

- Details Make the Difference – Brings rigor to data preparation, model assumptions, and analytical outputs; understands that the quality of an AI output is only as good as the quality of the input
