Job Description:
This is a 10-12 week, full-time internship (40 hours per week) based in our Minneapolis office. We are seeking recent college graduates who completed a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or Data Science preferrably between May and August 2026. High-performing interns may be considered for future full-time opportunities within Datasite's AI Transformation organization.
Please note: This position is not eligible for employment visa sponsorship. Therfore, applicants must be legally authorized to work in the US without requiring current or future employer-sponsored support.
Datasite's Transformation Office leads enterprise AI adoption, operational transformation, and strategic change across the business. Our Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) partner directly with business teams to identify opportunities, rapidly prototype AI solutions, and help bring those solutions into production.
As an AI Transformation / FDE Intern, you'll work alongside experienced FDEs on real business initiatives. You'll gain hands-on experience applying AI, automation, and modern engineering tools to solve operational challenges while learning how technology creates measurable business value.
This internship is designed for someone with strong technical fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, and a builder's mindset. Enterprise experience isn't expected-we're looking for someone eager to learn, contribute, and grow.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN & CONTRIBUTE

• Learn the Discovery Process: Partner with FDEs during stakeholder meetings to understand business workflows, identify pain points, and learn how AI opportunities are identified and prioritized.
• Build AI Solutions: Develop rapid prototypes using AI models, APIs, Python, workflow automation platforms, and other modern tools. Iterate quickly based on business feedback.
• Explore Process Improvements: Analyze workflows across business functions to identify opportunities where AI and automation can improve productivity, quality, and customer experience.
• Support Delivery: Help document use cases, participate in testing, prepare demonstrations, and support successful deployment of AI solutions.
• Communicate Business Impact: Learn to explain technical work in business terms by focusing on measurable outcomes such as time savings, quality improvements, and efficiency gains.

HOW YOU'LL WORK
You'll be paired with experienced FDEs who will mentor you through active AI initiatives. You'll participate in team standups, collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, contribute to prototype development, and present your work throughout the internship.
This is a collaborative, fast-moving environment where curiosity, initiative, and continuous learning are valued as much as technical ability.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required

• Recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or Data Science.
• Experience with Python (strongly preferred) or another modern programming language.
• Familiarity with APIs, SQL, databases, or workflow automation tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred

• Experience with AI/ML, LLMs, or AI-powered development tools.
• Academic, personal, or internship projects demonstrating automation or AI applications.
• Experience with Git, cloud platforms, or workflow tools such as n8n.
• Interest in business process improvement and enterprise AI.

WE'RE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN CANDIDATES WHO...

• Enjoy solving ambiguous problems.
• Build things outside of class.
• Ask thoughtful questions before jumping to solutions.
• Learn new technologies quickly.
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Take ownership and follow through.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
By the end of the internship, you will have:

• Participated in real AI Transformation initiatives.
• Built and demonstrated working AI prototypes.
• Worked alongside business leaders and technical teams.
• Learned how enterprise AI projects move from idea to implementation.
• Developed the skills needed to succeed as a Forward Deployed Engineer.
• Positioned yourself for consideration for a future full-time FDE opportunity.
