About The Company
For logistics to meet demand, the world needs infrastructure that doesn’t exist yet. Kargo is building that infrastructure. Our work advances the farthest edge of logistics technology, aligning freight and data in real time. With Kargo’s machine vision system, you can optimize shipping and receiving at every loading dock for network effects across supply chains. 👀 VERIFY SHIPMENT ACCURACY WITH COMPUTER VISION As freight is loaded and unloaded, Kargo Towers capture the action, translating any label or mark into data you can use on the Kargo Platform and your own ERP, WMS, TMS, and YMS. Towers flag discrepancies right at the loading dock so you can stop exceptions in their tracks. Images and videos give context to any shipment. 🚀 AUTOMATE SHIPPING AND RECEIVING Extend your capabilities with automated data capture at every step: - Eliminate hand-scanning - Sync with partners - Simplify check-in and out - Access data instantly Kargo sees and validates multiple freight attributes as forklifts load and unload trucks. Integrations let you connect shipping and receiving end to end. 📈 UNLOCK NETWORK EFFECTS As Kargo Towers capture data across facilities, you can surface trends and gain insights into operations and partnerships. Embrace continuous improvements and discover how Kargo helps build accuracy and efficiency across logistics. For more, visit mykargo.com
About the Role

Who We Are

Kargo creates powerful moments of connection between brands and consumers to build businesses. Every day, our 600+ employees work to radically raise the bar on what agentic AI, CTV, eCommerce, social, and mobile can do to deliver unique ad experiences across the world’s most premium platforms. Taking a creative science approach to all we do, we continuously innovate solutions that outperform industry benchmarks and client expectations. Now 20+ years strong, Kargo has offices in NYC, Chicago, LA,  Dallas, Sydney, Auckland, London and Waterford, Ireland. 

Who We Hire

Techies who want to build the future. Creatives who want to design it better. Communicators to win business. Collaborators to build it. Data pros who turn numbers into insights. Product builders who turn ideas into innovations. Anyone eager to be on a team that doesn’t stop to ask what’s next, because they’re already building it. 

Mission

We’re building the next version of an ad platform that’s AI-native, workflow-driven, and actually useful. That means we need product thinkers who can blend business instinct, technical fluency, and AI experimentation.

This internship is not about shadowing. It’s about owning real problems.

You’ll work directly with product leadership, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams on high-impact initiatives tied to our 2026 pillars:

  • Ad tech agentic workflows
  • Creative intelligence and performance science
  • Scalable infrastructure and automation

The summer internship program runs for 10 weeks from June 3 to August 9. All internship positions are paid. This will be a full-time internship with up to 40 hours a week from Monday through Friday with the expectation of 4x in the office.

What You'll Do

1. AI Workflow Acceleration

  • Audit a current internal workflow (RFP response, campaign setup, reporting, etc.)
  • Identify friction + automation opportunities
  • Prototype an AI-powered solution using modern tooling (LLMs, agents, internal APIs)
  • Validate with 5–10 users
  • Ship a v1 or structured recommendation

2. Creative Performance Intelligence

  • Analyze performance data to identify patterns across formats or verticals
  • Build a lightweight scoring or insight framework
  • Partner with engineering to test a surfaced insight inside the platform

3. Platform Simplification

  • Map an existing user journey across systems
  • Identify redundant steps or system fragmentation
  • Propose and validate a simplified, unified experience
  • Create PRD + clickable prototype

4. Internal Tooling / Automation

  • Identify one repetitive manual process
  • Quantify time wasted
  • Build or prototype an automation (using AI or scripting)
  • Measure time saved

You will:

  • Write product briefs and PRDs and workable prototypes
  • Define success metrics
  • Partner with engineers
  • Present progress to leadership
  • Ship something tangible by the end of the summer

What You'll Learn

  • Direct exposure to executive product strategy
  • Real ownership of a scoped product initiative
  • Mentorship from product leadership
  • Experience operating in an AI-forward environment

Who You Are

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (Business, CS, Engineering, Data, Design, or related field)
  • Strong analytical thinking and business intuition
  • Comfortable reading technical documentation and discussing APIs, data flows, and system constraints
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, coding copilots, agent frameworks, etc.)
  • Experience building something: app, model, automation, startup project, hackathon prototype, etc.
    Clear written and verbal communication skills

Strong Bonus Signals

  • You’ve shipped something users actually used
  • You’ve built automations with Python, SQL, or no-code tools
  • You’ve experimented with LLM prompting, fine-tuning, or agent workflows
  • You understand digital advertising, marketplaces, or platform economics
  • You can turn messy problems into structured thinking quickly

What We’re Looking For

This matters more than GPA.

  • You ask “why” before you ask “how”
  • You don’t wait for instructions
  • You’re comfortable with ambiguity
  • You think in terms of impact, not tasks
  • You can zoom out to strategy and zoom in to execution
  • You care about outcomes, not optics
