We are building Aonic Club: the club contract Costco proved over four decades, rebuilt online, social-first and AI-native - an annual membership that gets Americans elevated everyday products at cost, starting with functional nutrition.\nWe make the products ourselves and run sourcing, content, forecasting and service with AI agents, which deletes the 30-40% of retail and marketing layers inside every consumer price. The savings go to members, not margins: under Kirkland wherever Costco competes, and on average 80% below the brands.\nOur ambition is extreme: 1 million members and a $10 billion company within a few years, built by a handful of humans with extreme leverage - AI agents running the operations, a community as the channel, and the AI dividend delivered to everyday America.\nPlease find here our company introduction: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y6DHqUCN-TJIfpi8D4ElOyDw_7cwXip3/view?usp=drive_link\nLearn more about Aonic in our company presentation.\nThe Role\nAs our AI Automation Intern, you'll be working directly with the CEO and the rest of the leadership team to find, design, and ship AI-powered automations across the entire company.\nYou are not a coordinator. You are not an observer. You are a builder.\nYour job is to look at how Aonic operates across operations, growth, and finance - and replace manual effort with systems you build yourself. You'll move between teams, learn how each function actually works, and leave behind workflows that keep paying off long after your internship ends.\nThis internship is intentionally broad and demanding. It's designed for a student who wants maximum learning, responsibility, and real ownership in a short, intense window.\nWhat You'll Work On\nCompany-Wide AI Automation (your core focus)\nPartner with the CEO and each Head of function to identify the highest-leverage manual workflows across the business.\nDesign and build AI-powered automations, internal tools, and scripts that remove those bottlenecks end-to-end.\nContinuously look for opportunities to replace repetitive effort with reliable systems - and document them so they last.\nOperations & Execution\nSupport and improve day-to-day operations across fulfillment, customer experience, and supply chain coordination.\nTake a specific operational problem from definition to a working automated solution.\nGrowth Enablement\nBuild AI-assisted workflows for reporting, analysis, and campaign execution.\nHelp translate growth objectives into operational and financial implications.\nFinance & Business Intelligence\nSupport financial analysis, forecasting, and unit economics.\nBuild and maintain models, dashboards, and AI-powered reporting tools grounded in real contribution margin, not vanity metrics.\nSpecial Projects\nTackle high-priority, ad-hoc projects directly with the CEO and other Head ofs.\nMove fluidly between strategy and execution depending on what the business needs that week.\nHard Requirements\nTo be successful in this internship, all of the following must be true:\nCurrently pursuing or recently graduatea degree at a top-tier university in engineering, science, math, business, or a related field.\nStudents from a business background must have self-taught at least light forms of coding and be able to demonstrate technical fluency.\nAI-native mindset, with hands-on experience using AI tools, automation platforms, and low-code solutions to drive real outcomes.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving ability, with comfort working across operations, growth, and finance.\nGenuine interest in solving real-world business problems, including those involving physical operations such as production, supply chain, warehousing, delivery, and customer experience.\nExtremely hungry and ambitious, actively seeking responsibility and steep growth.\nStrong work ethic and intensity, working 8-7 Monday - Thursday and 8-5 on Fridays onsite at our office.\nThe Profile We're Looking For\nThis internship requires a rare mix of traits:\nBook-smart: Strong academic foundation and structured thinking.\nStreet-smart: Practical judgment, prioritization, and commercial intuition.\nPeople-smart: Able to work across functions without ego and communicate clearly.\nAI-native: Naturally reaches for AI and automation as a first instinct.\nHigh-agency: Sees problems, takes ownership, and executes without waiting for instructions.\nWhy Intern at Aonic?\nDirect Founder Exposure - You'll work side-by-side with the CEO and every Head of function on real decisions that shape the company.\nUnmatched Learning Velocity - This internship compresses years of experience into a few months.\nReal Responsibility Early - You'll own automations that matter, not shadow them.\nElite, Small Team - You'll work with a tight group of highly driven operators in a no-bureaucracy environment.\nModern Stack - We invest in the best AI and automation tools and expect you to use them aggressively.\nA Real Path Forward - Strong interns may receive a full-time offer and a launchpad into senior responsibility over time.\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is $40,000 - $60,000 per year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5423,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Food & Beverages","Sports Nutrition","Dietary Supplements"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T10:42:16Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":127500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-11T07:38:50+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.138,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":162,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":60000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aoniclife-ai-automation-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aoniclife-ai-automation-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T10:05:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17066,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4420996},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4420996"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faoniclife-ai-automation-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faoniclife-ai-automation-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faoniclife-ai-automation-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/aoniclife-ai-automation-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faoniclife-ai-automation-intern"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2609580}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"aoniclife.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2609580},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
