You should be passionate about data engineering and ready to transition from classroom theory to professional execution. We value a "jack of all trades" approach—someone who is ready to jump into a fast-moving environment and learn a modern tech stack by doing the work.

Technical Mentorship: Collaborate with senior engineers under a "force multiplier" leadership philosophy designed to level up your technical expertise.
Development: Write and optimize Python and SQL code to automate processes and manage data workflows.
Project Integration: Participate in team meetings and technical discovery, bringing a fresh perspective to design discussions.
Tooling & Ecosystems: Gain hands-on exposure to AWS, Databricks, and Snowflake.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside data science and infrastructure teams to see how high-growth startups scale.
What You Bring (Requirements)
Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field.
Timeline: Expected graduation date of December 2026 or later.
Core Skills: Academic or project-based experience with Python and SQL.
Foundations: A solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and database principles.
Mindset: A strategic "builder" mentality and a genuine thirst for technical knowledge.
Communication: Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and work effectively within a team.
Eligibility: Must be currently eligible to work in the US.

Projects involving AWS, Databricks, or Snowflake.
