## About the role

We’re already responsible for pricing billions of dollars of grocery items annually, working with leading retailers across North America and LatAm. From day one, you’ll work directly on production systems used by real operators making high-stakes decisions every week. You’ll work on core systems that power automated decision-making in grocery:

## What they're looking for

- You want to be fetching coffee or shadowing meetings all summer — you’ll ship real systems used in production by grocers making pricing decisions
- You want a scoped “intern project” with a final presentation — you’ll be working with real customers who have daily, urgent needs
- You want to spend your time reading and discussing research papers — you’ll be expected to turn the latest model releases into real-world value, quickly
- You want a structured intern program with events, career exploration, happy hours — we believe the best way to learn is to build and ship (but we do have Friday happy hours at the beer garden)
- How do we extract and normalize messy, unstructured data from hundreds of retailers into a unified product knowledge graph?
- How do we match products across retailers — including private label, fresh, and imperfect data — with high precision?
