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.
