Job Description:

We're looking for a Data Intern to bridge the gap between data science and data engineering.

You'll work across the data stack to ensure our analytical models and pipelines are accurate, monitored, and well-documented.

Responsibilities:

  • Build, audit, and optimize predictive and analytical models for accuracy, stability, and business impact.
  • Design and maintain data pipelines that power analytics, reporting, and modeling workflows.
  • Implement monitoring, observability, and documentation tools to improve data and model reliability.
  • Partner with data scientists to productionize models and ensure reproducibility and performance.
  • Collaborate with analytics, engineering, and product teams to improve the overall data user experience.
  • Develop standards and frameworks for model governance, versioning, and auditability.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of data quality, metadata, and system scalability.

Qualifications:

  • Strong foundation in data science (e.g., model building, evaluation, and statistical analysis).
  • Experience with data engineering tools and workflows (SQL, Airflow, dbt, BigQuery, etc.).
  • Proficiency in Python or similar languages for modeling and automation.
  • Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and documentation practices for data systems.
  • Ability to translate complex analytical processes into reliable, maintainable infrastructure.

This internship pays $27/hr plus a relocation stipend for those coming from outside the DMV area. The program will run January 26, 2026-April 17, 2026, with the opportunity to continue into the summer based on performance. This is a full-time, in-office position based in our office in Chinatown at 806 7th St NW, Washington, D.C. 20001.
