Summer 2026: Applied AI & Analytics Intern (June to August)

Work Period: June 2026 to August 2026 

Location & Schedule: This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week position with a minimum of 3 days per week onsite either in Miami, FL or in Needham, MA. There is no relocation or housing assistance for this position. 

Join the SharkNinja Early Edge Experience: Built for early career talent. Geared toward impact. Driven by speed. Whether you're in a co-op or internship, our early talent program is designed to provide valuable exposure to the industry and a fast-paced professional environment. You'll dive into meaningful projects and tasks that sharpen your skills and deepen your knowledge. Along the way, you'll benefit from professional development opportunities, community events, and connections that make your experience well-rounded and enriching. Your time with us will culminate in an opportunity to showcase your contributions and learnings to SharkNinja leaders because this is a program for those ready to shape what's next — fast. 

This role: As an Applied AI & Analytics Intern, you'll be at the heart of driving company-wide AI transformation and working on high-impact, cross-functional business problems. 

You'll partner closely with other members of the team to utilize AI to turn data into insights that inform decisions across the company. This role sits at the intersection of SharkNinja's Jailbreak AI initiative, a company-wide movement backed by $1M in innovation awards, giving you direct exposure to real AI deployments, not sandbox exercises. 

The internship is built for builders who want to learn by doing, moving fast, and seeing their work in production, not in a slide deck at the end of the summer. We have a strong preference for those who bring full-stack or data analytics experience and are ready to apply it in a real business environment from day one.  

Here are some of the EXCITING things you'll get to do: 

• Support the scoping and analysis of business questions by gathering and organizing relevant data
• Write AI prompts and assist in data cleaning and preparation
• Design and iterate on AI prompts to extract actionable insights from business data
• Help build dashboards, reports, or simple models used by internal teams through the use of AI tools
• Assist in identifying trends, patterns, and insights within datasets through AI
• Use AI tools to improve efficiency and support analytical workflows
• Contribute to agentic workflow prototypes that automate manual, high-friction business processes
• Contribute to materials that communicate findings to stakeholders
• Help identify data gaps or inconsistencies and flag opportunities for improvement
