Internship - Data Engineering and Backend Engineering

Join our Data Science, Data Engineering & AI team as a Working Student and get hands-on exposure to the data infrastructure and backend services that power real analytics and AI platforms. You will be guided by experienced engineers while contributing to live systems — from building ETL pipelines and writing SQL queries to integrating REST APIs and experimenting with AI-driven automation. This is a learning role with real impact, designed as a stepping stone toward a career in data engineering, backend development, or AI engineering. Your role Key responsibilities in your new role ETL/ELT Development: Write and test Python ETL scripts and SQL queries to extract, transform, and load data from various sources. Data Quality & Monitoring: Assist with data quality validation and monitoring of scheduled pipeline jobs. API & Database Integration: Support backend integration tasks by consuming REST APIs and persisting data to databases. Engineering Practices (Git): Participate in Git-based workflows (branching, commits, pull requests) following team engineering standards.   AI-Assisted Automation Prototyping: Help prototype simple AI-assisted automation using LLM APIs alongside experienced engineers. Internship Learning Outcomes: Data Engineering Foundations: Build practical experience with ETL/ELT pipelines, data modeling, and different data platforms.   Backend Engineering Skills: Develop backend engineering skills including REST API integration, Python automation, and relational database usage. DevOps & Tooling Basics: Learn DevOps fundamentals such as Git workflows, CI/CD awareness, Docker basics, and Linux shell usage. LLM & AI-Assisted Development Exposure: Gain hands-on exposure to LLM APIs and AI-assisted development, including prompt engineering and agentic workflows.   Professional Collaboration: Strengthen collaboration skills through code reviews, technical discussions, and working within an engineering delivery process. Your profile Qualifications and skills to help you succeed  Educational Background: Enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a comparable technical field.   SQL & Python Proficiency: Able to write Python scripts and basic SQL queries (from coursework or personal projects; no professional experience required).   Git Familiarity: Familiar with Git basics—cloning, committing, branching, and pushing to a remote repository.   Curiosity & Learning Mindset: Curious about data engineering and AI tools—interest in how data flows through systems and how LLMs can support engineering work is a strong plus.   Preferred Intake: January - May 2027, able to commit to a minimum 5-months. #WeAreIn for driving decarbonization and digitalization.
