In the summer of 2025, Chewy is embarking on an ambitious journey to redefine the future of commerce with Unbound: The Innovators' Arena. This program isn’t just an internship; it’s a competitive, high-stakes arena for the brightest minds to disrupt the boundaries of AI and commerce.

The Challenge: 

Conceptualize and execute an AI-powered solution that has the potential to redefine the future of e-commerce. This is your idea, your execution, your vision brought to life, by you. You'll start in teams of two and through the summer merge with other teams as ideas are curated through competition. 

Unlike traditional internships, Unbound: The Innovators' Arena is structured as a dynamic competition, testing not only your technical expertise but also your leadership, adaptability and vision. The program will culminate in a high-profile Grand Finale, where your work will be presented to senior executives and industry leaders. 

What You’ll Do: 

• Work in teams to ideate, build and present an AI-driven solution with the potential to disrupt e-commerce 

• Refine your project through successive rounds of absorption, where top-performing teams integrate new members to scale their ideas.

• Present your solution in a Grand Finale at Chewy’s Florida HQ to a panel of senior executives. 

Who You Are: 

• You thrive under pressure and are driven by the challenge of solving problems deemed impossible. 

• You have a track record of tackling complex challenges with innovative solutions. 

• You’re intellectually curious, willing to abandon your own ideas when better ones emerge. 

• You excel in team dynamics, whether leading or collaborating.

What You’ll Need: 

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in fields such as Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Economics, Statistics, Engineering, Computer Science or related field, with an anticipated graduation date of 2025 or 2026.   

• Strong interest in AI, innovation and the future of commerce. 

• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills. 

• Proven ability to work in dynamic, high-pressure environments. 

• Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to articulate and defend bold ideas.
