We're looking for a motivated intern to assist in the development of our "Virtual War Room," a web-based platform that uses AI to provide real-time insights. This internship will give you hands-on experience in applying artificial intelligence to a fun, engaging real-world project. You'll work closely with our team to explore how AI can be used to analyze player performance, suggest trades, and provide valuable fantasy sports advice. This role requires knowledge in natural language processing (NLP), AI-driven automation, and predictive analytics to power AI assistants like The Analyst, The Scout, and The Negotiator.

  • Leverage OpenAI API (or fine-tune LLMs like GPT-4) for contextual fantasy sports insights
  • Implement machine learning models to predict player performance, injury risks, and trade value
  • Collaborate with data engineers to ingest and process fantasy sports data from Yahoo, Sleeper, and FantasyPros APIs
  • Ensure AI-driven recommendations are accurate, engaging, and easy to understand for users

What You'll Learn

  • Practical application of AI and machine learning in a real-world project.
  • Experience with NLP and how it can be used to generate text and analyze language.
  • Data processing and API integration techniques.
  • How to communicate complex technical concepts to a non-technical audience.
  • Gain an understanding of the fantasy sports industry and its data.

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • Basic understanding of programming concepts (Python preferred).
  • Interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
  • Fantasy sports passion is a huge plus (understanding of player projections, waiver wire strategy, etc.)
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Eagerness to learn and a positive attitude.
