The Role

We are looking for a highly motivated intern to join our Research Data Engineering team. In this role, you will contribute to building and improving internal data platforms that automatically capture, process, and visualize wet lab data.

The focus of this internship is on software and data engineering , not scientific research. You will work on creating robust data pipelines that ensure experimental data is automatically ingested into internal databases, and help develop visualization platforms that enable scientists to easily explore results and derive insights.

You will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, including scientists, data engineers, and software developers, each bringing different needs and ideas. As this is an in-house product, there is significant flexibility to experiment and shape solutions. While the core of the project focuses on expanding and improving a visualization platform (e.g., adding new features in collaboration with scientists), there is room to tailor parts of the project to your background, interests, and university requirements.

With your curiosity and proactive mindset, you will help translate complex data needs into scalable and user-friendly technical solutions.
