You don't just launch a product, you disrupt the entire market

unit 26

We Promise 25. We Build the 26th.

SharkNinja builds 25 new products every year. Unit 26 builds the 26th: SharkNinja itself.

We’re a small team of builders tackling the problems that fall between functions, the challenges without an obvious owner, and the opportunities waiting for someone to take them from zero to shipped. With executive sponsorship and access to the C-suite from day one, we build what the business needs next, prove its value, and hand it off to scale.

From applications and algorithms to AI agents and entirely new systems, every build starts with a problem worth solving. Then we own it, ship it, and move on to the next.

Your Next Build Starts Here

“The work I’m proudest of has come from somebody taking a problem slightly bigger than the one they raised their hand for.”

build for what doesn't exist yet

Unit 26 is a small team of builders reporting to the Chief of Staff to the CEO, with executive sponsorship and access to the C-suite from day one. We take on high-impact challenges that cross functions, remove constraints, and unlock new possibilities for the business.

Every problem is different. What we build might be an application, an algorithm, an AI agent that eliminates thousands of hours of manual work, or a system that doesn't yet exist at SharkNinja, or anywhere else.

We start at zero, prove the value, ship the solution, and hand it off to the business unit ready to take it further. Then we do it again.

from zero to shipped

Work directly with business leaders to define the problem, architect the solution, and build the applications, systems, and AI-powered tools needed to solve it.

prove the impact

Measure what matters, from hours saved and dollars unlocked to speed gained. Every build needs to deliver real business value.

ship. hand off. repeat.

Equip the business unit with the documentation, training, and support to run and scale the solution. Then move on to the next challenge.

see the problem. own the solution.

We're looking for deeply technical builders with commercial instincts, founder-level urgency, and the drive to turn ambiguous challenges into real-world impact.
