Vylor has an exciting opportunity for an AI Business Analyst Intern to join our Innovation & Operations Management team based, based in Johnston, Iowa to apply analytical and problem‑solving skills in a dynamic, real‑world business environment. Do you enjoy analyzing data, identifying trends, and recommending solutions? This is a hybrid role that blends traditional business analysis with hands‑on AI development. You'll partner with the team to identify process pain points and then build AI‑powered solutions to address them, designing intelligent agents and automated workflows that go well beyond off‑the‑shelf chatbots. From day one, you will be assigned projects focused on analyzing business processes, gathering requirements, and supporting data‑driven decision‑making to solve real‑life problems.

This role is for someone who can build with AI, not just use a chat interface. If you've created AI agents, automated multi‑step tasks, or wired LLMs into real workflows, we want to hear from you.

• Document what you build, train end users, and capture lessons learned for the broader team

What Skills You Need

• Foundational programming skills, ideally Python
• Familiarity with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and prompt engineering
• Practical experience with agentic AI — tool/function calling, multi‑step task automation, and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar)
• Data manipulation skills (SQL, pandas, or spreadsheets)
• Strong interpersonal communication skills, a commitment to transparency, and a passion for creating value for customers.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment, learn rapidly, and master diverse technologies and techniques.
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.000 on a 4.000 scale at current university.
• A minimum requirement for this US‑based position is the ability to work legally in the United States on a permanent basis. Applicants who do not indicate that they have the necessary permanent work authorization will not be considered for this US‑based position.
• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a Business or Engineering field.

Education & Eligibility

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or a related field OR pursuing a business‑focused degree paired with demonstrated technical AI skills
