Operations & Technology, Media Tech : Here at NBCU, we strive to be at the forefront of leading-edge technology and are looking for the next generation of technologists to join our Media Tech Internship Program.

The Media Tech Internship Program provides students with practical experience across NBCUniversal's Operations & Technology organization, giving interns the opportunity to apply their technical skills to real-world projects while gaining exposure to the teams and technologies that power our business.

The internship also serves as a key entry point into our early-career technology pipeline and the primary pathway for consideration into the Media Tech Associate Program, our two-year rotational program designed to build technical breadth, business knowledge, and professional skills through meaningful work experiences, mentorship, networking, and development opportunities.

Throughout the internship, students will gain insight into how one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies uses technology to solve business challenges, build innovative solutions, and shape the future of media.

Many of our past interns have gone on to join the Media Tech Associate Program. More information can be found at nbcunicareers.com/mediatech/associate-program.

Areas of placement may include, but are not limited to:

• Ad Sales Tech, Ad Smart 2.1: Our team within Data Science works on products and research projects relating to decision optimization, natural language processing, video processing, ai agents and agentic evaluations. Our suite of products is mostly related to the ad sales space and the workflow from sales pipeline through to the planning and execution of ads both linear and digital. However, we also work on projects relating to products outside of Ad Sales - like the Mural NBCU content understanding suite of agents. The intern will receive experience working on one of our applications that utilizes ai agents to either explore data, explain algorithm decisions, or interact with end users. They will learn the pros and cons of utilizing AI agents vs. when to use more traditional machine learning and NLP techniques.
• Ad Sales Tech, Ad Smart 2: Our team provides viewership forecasts that support ads planning across NBCUniversal. We partner closely with the Product team, which serves as our internal customer and is led by SVPs. An intern on our team will gain exposure to forecasting workflows, applied data analysis, engineering collaboration, and the process of turning analytical work into practical business tools. The internship will also provide an opportunity to contribute to ongoing efforts to improve our forecasting capabilities, including work related to next-generation AI forecasting approaches
