Data Pipeline & Integration

  • Support the development and maintenance of data pipelines and data processing workflows using SQL, Python, and workflow automation tools such as n8n.
  • Assist in collecting, transforming, and integrating data from various sources and systems (databases, APIs, files, and third-party platforms).
  • Support data integration between applications, databases, and internal systems, including scheduled jobs and API/webhook-based data flows.
  • Assist in monitoring data processes and troubleshooting data pipeline issues.

Database & Data Management

  • Support the maintenance and organization of databases and data structures (PostgreSQL / MySQL, and cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery).
  • Assist in writing and optimizing SQL queries to retrieve and process data efficiently.
  • Support data cleaning, validation, and transformation to ensure data quality and usability.
  • Assist in identifying and resolving data inconsistencies or quality issues.

Development & Business Support

  • Work with available data to support reporting, analysis, and data-driven initiatives across the business.
  • Assist in preparing datasets, reports, or data tools (dashboards in tools such as Looker Studio / Metabase) to support business and operational needs.
  • Collaborate with relevant teams to understand data requirements and translate them into practical data solutions.
  • Support the development and improvement of data processes based on business requirements, including automating recurring manual data tasks.

Collaboration & Continuous Learning

  • Collaborate with developers, data teams, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver solutions.
  • Participate in data testing, documentation, technical discussions, and process improvement activities.
  • Stay updated on relevant data technologies, tools, and best practices.
  • Take ownership of assigned tasks, communicate progress and challenges, and seek feedback to continuously improve technical skills.

Tech Stack You'll Work With

  • Languages: SQL, Python (JavaScript/Node.js is a plus)
  • Databases & Warehouse: PostgreSQL / MySQL, BigQuery
  • Pipeline & Automation: n8n, scheduled jobs, REST APIs / webhooks
  • Reporting: Looker Studio / Metabase, Google Sheets
  • Tools: Git / GitHub, Docker, cloud platform basics (GCP)

Requirements

  • Able to commit to a minimum 3-month internship period.
  • Currently studying Computer Science, Data Science/Engineering, Statistics, IT, or a related field (or self-taught with equivalent projects).
  • Basic SQL skills and an understanding of how relational databases work.
  • Basic scripting ability in Python (or another language) for data processing.
  • Exposure to n8n, Node.js, ETL concepts, or any cloud data platform is a strong plus.
  • Detail-oriented about data accuracy, willing to learn, and able to communicate findings clearly.
