About The Position

Springs Window Fashions is looking for a motivated and hardworking individual to join our Information Technology Team! This Intern would help build a repeatable system for measuring whether Springs' AI powered features are correct, and for catching quality regressions when the underlying model or prompt changes. This internship provides an exciting opportunity to assist the team with project support while providing valuable work experience related to your chosen field of study. Our paid internship program is known for having in-depth, challenging project work with cross-functional teams, as well as professional development, job shadowing and other growth opportunities.

Requirements

• Pursuing a 4-year degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field; Junior or Senior standing preferred
• Previous internship or coursework involving data handling, scripting, or software development preferred
• Working proficiency in Python (or a comparable scripting language) for building test cases and automation — this project is data/scripting-heavy, not a specialized ML role
• Familiarity with, or willingness to quickly learn, SQL and basic data analysis concepts
• Proficient computer skills, including Microsoft Office
• Strong problem-solving and structured, methodical thinking — the core of this role is designing test cases that actually catch failures, not just writing code
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including comfort conducting structured interviews with non-technical Associates to extract precise workflow requirements — this is roughly 60% of the actual work and the top screening priority
• Comfortable with ambiguity and an iterative, build-as-you-learn scope, rather than a fully pre-specified task list
• Interest in AI/ML applications is a plus; prior AI/ML coursework is not required
• Positive attitude, high attention to detail, and eagerness to learn Springs' business processes
