Data Engineer Internship Opportunity

Job Description

This is a rare opportunity - the type of internship that just doesn’t come round very often. If you’re looking to gain experience in the world of data-analytics, international business, innovation and technology, then this is for you. We are now looking for a highly motivated intern to join our Amsterdam-based team in our efforts to make the world a healthier and fitter place.

During this exciting 6-month internship, you will support one of our awesome innovations in which we are using the data generated by millions of app-users. You’ll be challenged in a fast moving environment with exceptional learning opportunities. You’ll be a respected member of the team, and have the opportunity to deliver your own project.

In return, you’ll join a team where you can grow, develop, and truly unlock your full potential.

We have a beautiful office in the center of Amsterdam and while we foster getting together to exchange ideas and energy, we are a remote-friendly company. This means that you have the freedom to work from home whenever you want, provided you keep delivering great results! At the same time we love bringing our teams together by organizing team events and company parties to brainstorm about the future of our industry and build friendships, while having fun along the way.
