About the Role
We are seeking an MBA intern to join our team beginning in January/February 2026, with potential for an offer or promotion into a full-time role. Interns will work closely with the CEO leadership team on projects spanning Marketing, Operations, and Strategy. Interns will also have an opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technology and to be part of a dynamic and innovative team.
The CEO and Go-To-Market team are based in Miami and this role is flexible to work remote or from the Safari AI's Coconut Grove office.

Why bet on Computer Vision and Safari AI?
- Huge opportunity hiding in plain sight: leveraging already-installed cameras to automate and real-time action on operational data
- Already the market leader in enterprise CV by working with industry leaders with billions in revenue
- Large chasm between customer knowledge and market availability, i.e. customers don't know what is available in the market...yet.
- Early leader in computer vision; everyone is small and unbranded (i.e. no Amazon or Google in the room to compete with)
- Very modular, allowing Safari AI and its customers to invent whole new use cases on a regular basis
- Developed the tech and data pipelines over three years and invested several million dollars and is now ready to scale
