Intern Data Science

Join Nitro's Engineering Team

The Engineering Team at Nitro is responsible for building high-performance, scalable solutions that drive our product innovation. We are now looking for a Software Engineer Intern to support our team in developing and optimising software solutions. In this role, you will collaborate closely with our engineers and cross-functional teams to contribute to the design, development, and improvement of key systems.

What you’ll do:

• Help build a governed semantic layer that defines Nitro's core business metrics and entities, powering an AI data agent that lets teams ask questions of our data in plain language.
  
  
• Work with product, finance and revenue teams to translate business definitions into clear, consistent data definitions.
  
  
• Write and test SQL and Python to model data in Snowflake and dbt, and check that metrics are accurate and match existing dashboards.
  
  
• Evaluate and improve the data agent's answers, designing test sets and measuring accuracy.
• Explore and build machine learning models on product usage and customer data, such as churn, conversion or user behaviour.
  
  
• Share your findings through clear write-ups, notebooks or dashboards, and present them to the team.

What we’re looking for:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics or a related field.
  
  
• Comfortable with Python (pandas, scikit-learn or similar) and SQL.
  
  
• A good grounding in statistics and core machine learning concepts, and genuine enjoyment of working on ML problems.
  
  
• Interest in LLMs, AI agents or semantic layers. Hands-on experience with tools like dbt, Snowflake or LLM APIs is desired but not required.
  
  
• Curiosity about how businesses measure success, and care for getting the numbers right.
  
  
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to explain technical work to non-technical people.
  
  
• Ability to work well in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
  
  
• Familiarity with version control systems (for example: Git).
