Magalu has just launched the selection process for Brazil’s first Artificial Intelligence trainee program, aimed at professionals from exact science courses. The initiative is directly related to the company’s new strategic cycle – starting in 2026 – and aims to train talents with high technical and analytical capabilities and strategic vision in data and AI, prepared to develop innovative solutions and apply technology to business. Professionals who graduated between December 2022 and December 2025 in exact science courses, not necessarily related to technology, can apply.
With a monthly salary of 9,600 reais and benefits, the trainees will work in business areas that use artificial intelligence to improve processes and create new solutions. Applications will be made exclusively through the program’s official WhatsApp channel, with the conversation flow guided by Lu, Magalu’s digital influencer, through AI application. Once registered, the candidate will go through the following stages – practical tests and interviews – on other platforms, but still with interactions via WhatsApp. The final stage will be in person. The pre-selected candidates will be interviewed by Frederico Trajano, the company’s CEO, and the chosen candidates should be notified by the end of December. To apply or learn more about the process, just send a ‘hi’ to Lu on WhatsApp (11) 97827-4804.
‘We have always been innovative and disruptive. With this trainee selection process, it couldn’t be any different,’ says Trajano. ‘We have the challenge of implementing a cycle driven by the application of artificial intelligence and need to attract the best talents in the field to support us in executing this strategy.’
‘More than attracting artificial intelligence experts, we want each trainee to feel challenged to question the obvious and propose innovative solutions for our business areas,’ says Patricia Pugas, executive director of people management. ‘The technology itself is there for everyone. What will really make a difference is how these tools will transform, for the better, the daily life of the company and everyone impacted by it.’
In the selection, knowledge in programming languages such as Python and SQL, cloud tools (AWS, GCP, Azure), AI/ML libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch), and data analysis solutions will be valued. However, being an expert is not a mandatory requirement, as the professionals will work in the company’s business areas, and the program will offer specific training tracks. Participants will have access to courses, mentorships, and workshops taught by Magalu professionals and external experts.
Throughout the program, there will be technical and career support, with room for everyone to propose their own projects. The best ideas may be tested and implemented. The trainees will work with machine learning, generative AI, and Magalu tools to develop practical solutions. They will be allocated at the company’s headquarters in São Paulo or in strategic areas, in a hybrid format. Among the benefits offered are health insurance, meal/food vouchers, profit-sharing, relocation assistance (for those outside São Paulo), and language courses.
