AI Product Intern

Threekit is looking for an AI Product Intern to join our Product and Sales Engineering teams for a hands-on introduction to how a growing B2B SaaS company builds, sells, and scales an AI product with real customers on the line. Depending on placement, you'll support live product development on our AI Sales Agent or help our Sales Engineering team with customer-facing demo work.

Either way, this isn't busywork — you'll contribute to real initiatives with direct customer or product impact.

This is a part-time role (~20 hrs/week) designed to run alongside a class schedule and is paid hourly. The successful candidate must live within a reasonable commuting distance of our Chicago office and be willing to come into the office one half day per week.

Threekit is the Next Generation Configure Price Quote Platform for Manufacturers. We help manufacturers make complex products easier to buy and sell through the systems they already trust.

At Threekit, our core values can be summed up with the acronym GRIT:
Getting things done, Revenue, Innovation, and Team. These principles guide our actions and decisions, shaping the way we work and interact with each other and our customers.

At Threekit, GRIT is more than just an acronym; it is the driving force behind our success and growth.
