We are looking for a Data Engineer Intern for the core of our application. We are looking for a generalist software developer who loves learning new things and facing new challenges but we also value if you have some deep experience in specific topics such as scalability, XP practices, algorithms, web development, etc.

At Nextail, you will be part of a cross-functional and autonomous team where you will build cloud components for the company.

We love developers with a strong Product and Agile mindset who value good technical practices. Developers who are eager to learn new things and face new challenges of usability and scalability. Developers who enjoy staying close to Production, doing continuous deployment with special care on quality. We are a remote company, but you can also work in the Madrid offices. At the moment, we are only seeking candidates in Europe (UTC 02:00 or similar).

Our team:

You will be part of the Data Platform team. Some of the coworkers from our teams are:

Carlos Varela (Senior Architect)

David Fernández (Data Engineer)

Ana Prior (Software Developer)

Responsibilities

• Working in a data platform team makes our platform work smoothly.
• Contribute to the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence & machine learning technologies that will build the next generation of retail systems.
• Stay close to production, doing continuous deployment with special care on the quality and processes

We offer:

• High flexibility: We’re strong believers that what matters most are results. Each Nextailer is empowered, through trust and ownership, to organize their time as they see fit without jeopardizing the time or work of their colleagues.
• Remote-first philosophy: Nextail started as a remote company and continues to offer a nice mix of remote and/or office-based environments around the world.
• International environment: We operate across the globe, with recent operations reaching from Europe to Australia, and our team alone consists of professionals of more than 15 different nationalities. While many of us are multilingual, our working language is English.
• Diversity on all levels: United as a single team, we celebrate diversity at every dimension*. Professionally speaking, are you ready to work alongside tech geniuses, data science magicians, and fashionistas? You’ll have teammates with extensive experience in a wide variety of professional fields, including technology, retail, consulting, and entrepreneurship.
• The laptop of your choice: Please work with the tools that are most comfortable for you

First of all, we are looking for a good workmate to join the team. We value working in a safe and constructive environment where everybody can thrive over any specific technical skill.

In our team, you will also find people focused on generating an impact in the company, rather than just taking on new tasks to develop. We expect that the person who joins us is as excited about this bias towards impact and action as we are.

Required skills:

• You must have the ability to work through an internship agreement (“Convenio”)
• Curiosity and passion for new technologies
• You are fluent in English (other languages, especially Spanish, are a plus) and are interested in working in an international company.
• Experience or knowledge in SQL, relational or non-relational DB and cloud infrastructure is a must
• Knowledge of Python is desirable. Experience in other languages will also be valued
• You know about automatic tests and their benefits.
• Knowledge or experience applying good development practices such as SOLID, TDD, CI/CD, etc.
• Business-oriented. You acknowledge software is not the end but a means to get business value (but this doesn’t mean doing crappy code). You are willing to learn all business concepts and you try to understand the business motivation under the tasks you develop.
• Self-motivated and self-organized. Good time management and personal organization skills are essential.
• You value working as a team, receiving feedback, and are willing to learn.
