- Communicate for Impact – Strong communication skills; ability to deliver effective presentations to all levels of management
What the job involves
- SharkByte is SharkNinja’s AI-native early talent program, and the co-op experience is built differently on purpose
- This five-and-a-half-month immersive rotation gives co-ops the opportunity to work on real business problems, build production-ready AI solutions, and contribute to initiatives that create measurable impact across the company
- From week one, co-ops are embedded directly into live SharkNinja projects with real ownership, real deliverables, and direct partnership with technical and business leaders. There are no simulations, shadow projects, or busy work
- Participants are expected to help build and scale solutions that support SharkNinja’s broader AI transformation strategy
- Co-ops partner closely with teams across the business to leverage AI and analytics to turn data into actionable insights and drive smarter decision-making
- The experience sits within SharkNinja’s Jailbreak AI initiative, a company-wide movement backed by $1M in innovation awards, giving participants direct exposure to real AI deployments and enterprise-scale innovation efforts
- The program is designed for builders with experience in software engineering, AI/ML, full-stack development, automation, or data analytics who want hands-on experience in a fast-moving environment
- Co-ops receive access to the same tools used across SharkNinja, including Claude Enterprise and a personal AWS sandbox, along with exposure to executives, AI founders, and company-wide innovation initiatives like Jailbreak EDU and the $1M AI Awards
- Participants are also fully integrated into Early Edge programming for mentorship, networking, and professional development
- Because of the extended nature of the co-op experience, participants are able to take projects further, build deeper relationships across the organization, and contribute to work with lasting visibility and impact
- Top performers have pathways to return offers or full-time opportunities, and every participant leaves with a SharkByte AI Certification tied directly to the work they shipped and the impact they delivered
- Own the end-to-end scoping, analysis, and delivery of a defined business problem — from data gathering through insight communication
- Design, iterate, and document AI prompts and workflows; take ownership of data preparation pipelines for assigned projects
- Build and maintain dashboards, reports, or models that are actively used by internal teams — with full accountability for quality and accuracy
- Identify trends, patterns, and insights within datasets and translate them into actionable recommendations
- Use AI tools to improve efficiency and automate analytical workflows
- Develop and test agentic workflow prototypes that reduce manual effort on high-friction business processes
- Present findings and recommendations directly to team leads and business stakeholders
- Identify data gaps or inconsistencies and propose solutions, not just flag them
- Work Period: July/August 2026 to December 2026
- This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week position
Application process
- Please note that, due to the high volume of applications for early talent roles, response times may vary depending on the specific role and timeline. Our team appreciates your patience!
