Engineering Intern

EnergyHub•New York, NY

About The Position

Managing data is a core element of operating the world’s most inspiring Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Data Engineering is the team that brings it all together. From millions of internet-connected devices that use, store, and distribute power to all the clients that use those devices to manage grid load, Data Engineering makes it possible. We love data, translation, observability, and quality. We also really love big numbers. And Greek-derived number prefixes (e.g. Tera-, Peta-). From schema design to data transformation, from privacy and security to compliance, Data Engineering covers a lot of range. It’s a tight-knit team of engineers dedicated to excellence, quality, high-throughput communication, and deep collaboration. Client experience is at the focus of our efforts, but we also serve other internal customers with high-value data and information. You will integrate with the Data Engineering team, collaborating as a full-fledged member of the team, not doing some intern project on the side. You are joining us during the busiest season and will get a full glimpse of what it is like to work on a dedicated team of professionals who care about one another and are dedicated to each other’s success. This is a 3-month remote internship.

Clear communication (written and verbal), capable collaboration (in-office and online), and cultivated curiosity
Warmth and welcoming for your collaborators, colleagues, and cohort, with an urge to help them succeed and pay their generosity forward to others
