If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in. 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.

This role: AI/Sharks 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.
