About The Position
The Data Engineering Intern for the Research Department's Central Data Science team at Vera is a summer opportunity for a college student, graduate student or recent grad to immerse themselves into working in a data role at a non-profit organization. Their work will support the construction and maintenance of a centralized datastore and data ingestion/processing framework with plans to incorporate data in a central repository to support researchers who work with public and/or large-scale data in the national and place-based initiatives. The data engineering intern will participate in all day-to-day team activities, ranging from project and sprint planning, code review sessions, pair programming, social activities, and more. They will be directly mentored by a data engineer on the team, who will help train the intern on a range of responsibilities, including data collection, data modelling, automation, building data infrastructure, and ensuring data quality. In addition to day-to-day data tasks, the intern will focus on a project that they will work on over the course of their internship that is relevant to their interests and experience. This might involve helping to design and manage large-scale data infrastructure systems, creating computational frameworks, designing data models, or building new tools to empower our community partners or organization's researchers to leverage and improve Vera's existing repository of data. Depending on their interest, other day-to-day tasks could include exploratory analyses, analytical software development, web scraping, and producing data visualizations.
