The Data Engineering Intern for the Research Department's Central Data Science team at Vera is an opportunity for a college 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 data ingestion/processing framework and data warehouse to support researchers who work with public and/or large-scale data in national and place-based initiatives.
The data engineering intern will participate in all day-to-day team activities, ranging from project planning and execution, code review sessions, pair programming, social activities, and more. They will work directly with a senior data engineer on the team on a range of responsibilities, including data collection, data modeling, 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 organization's researchers or community partners 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, or other related areas of interest.
This is a commitment over the Fall 2025 semester with some flexibility as to start and end date.
