AI Product Intern (co-op) Research

What we do:

We at Northeading Technologies are building the AI engine that finally fixes hiring from the inside out.

Every day, people lose time, confidence, and opportunities due to hiring systems that are broken by design. We're here to change that.

At our core, we believe hiring shouldn't be a filtering game; it should be a discovery system. A system that eliminates the unnecessary no's, accelerates the right yes, and gives every candidate the dignity of context, not silence.

We're building an AI-driven platform that treats hiring as a product, not paperwork. One that reimagines how decisions are made- faster, smarter, and more human.

Our Mission:

To build a hiring operating system that works like the best hiring managers: clear, fast, fair- and obsessed with finding fit over keywords.

We want to give companies a way to scale hiring intelligently. And we want candidates to experience hiring that respects their time, effort, and potential.

Why this role exists:

This is not your average internship. You'll work directly with our founder to explore, test, and prototype real AI solutions that solve hiring bottlenecks. Think: smarter filters, faster workflows, fairer systems.

Education & Eligibility:

• Currently pursuing a diploma/degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data, or a related field in Canada.

• Enrolled in a co-op program (Note: this is only eligible for unpaid co-op placement).

We provide real product experience, mentorship, and a standout portfolio- not busywork

What you'll be doing:

• Research emerging tools, APIs, and use cases in AI & hiring tech
• Prototype product flows using Figma, Notion, or low-code tools
• Test ideas using LLMs, ChatGPT, Zapier, or similar
• Collaborate on early product UX & micro-experiments
• Help us move 10x faster with lean, scrappy thinking

You might be an ideal fit if you:

• Are hands-on with AI tools and prompt engineering
• Are comfortable moving from research to action quickly
• Have a strong sense of UX and user behavior
• Want to build, learn, and contribute directly to product-market fit

Bonus points for:

• Previous side project or portfolio using AI tools
• Design, copywriting, or product strategy experience
• Strong communication + independent execution

You'll touch real problems, ship real work, and see your thinking reflected in a product that scales.

How we work:

• Move fast, stay lean, and obsess over real user problems
• Use AI not as a buzzword, but as our baseline infrastructure
• Care deeply about ownership, autonomy, and good humans
• Don't micromanage- we trust, empower, and iterate

Comp & Additional Perks:

• Direct mentorship from a founder/operator who's built teams, scaled systems, and still gets his hands dirty
• Real product exposure and startup-building education
• Remote-first, async-friendly culture
• Flexible hours + performance-based progression
• Equity potential for long-term contributors and meaningful responsibilities from day one
• Work on what ships, not what sits
