Position Overview

Are you a curious, driven student who’s passionate about data and its potential to fuel smarter decision‑making? Join our Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Generative AI Data Science team as a Data Science Intern, where you’ll get hands‑on experience collecting and working with real‑world, publicly available data from online sources — including news outlets and company websites.

• Data Collection:
  Develop and maintain scripts to automate the collection of publicly available data from online sources, ensuring compliance with each website’s terms of service and robots.txt directives.
• Data Cleaning & Preprocessing:
  Clean, validate, and organize collected data to ensure accuracy and usability for downstream tasks.
• Data Storage:
  Store extracted data in structured formats such as CSV, JSON, or databases, ensuring efficient retrieval and analysis.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with data scientists and analysts to understand data requirements and ensure legal compliance.
• Documentation:
  Document data collection processes, data dictionaries, and any challenges encountered to facilitate knowledge sharing and future maintenance.

• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Familiarity with Python and libraries such as Beautiful Soup, Scrapy, or Selenium for data collection tasks.
• Understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to navigate and parse web content effectively.
• Basic knowledge of data storage formats and databases (e.g., CSV, JSON, SQL).
• Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

• Understanding of ethical considerations and legal guidelines related to data collection.
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in a remote or hybrid work environment.

This isn’t just another internship — it’s a chance to work on real data projects that directly support our NLP and generative AI initiatives. You’ll gain hands‑on experience with modern tools and techniques used in industry, collaborate with a talented and supportive team of data professionals, and build a portfolio that goes well beyond classroom assignments. Whether you’re passionate about ethical data practices, fascinated by AI, or eager to level up your Python and web‑scraping skills, this role offers meaningful exposure and flexibility — all within a fully remote work environment designed with students in mind.
