Data Engineering | Computer Science Internship: Automation & Scalable Analytics Infrastructure

Introduction

You will join the Advanced Analytics/Data Engineering team within Customer Support, working on our internal data and analytics platform.

The team operates at the intersection of Data Engineering, Infrastructure & platform development, Applied analytics and Machine Learning. Our mission is to enable reliable, scalable, and reusable data solutions that directly support business-critical analytics use cases.

As our data platform grows, we face several key challenges:

• Ensuring consistent and high-quality documentation across rapidly evolving codebases
• Making infrastructure reusable and scalable across multiple analytics teams
• Improving testability and reliability of complex data pipelines
• Supporting fast delivery while maintaining long-term maintainability
• Enabling robust development practices (CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, testing)

This internship contributes directly to solving these challenges in a real production environment.

Your Assignment

How can we make our data platform self-documenting, scalable, testable, and resilient, while keeping development efficient for engineers? As a Data Engineering Intern, you will design and build tooling and solutions that improve the quality, maintainability, and reliability of our data platform.

You will work hands-on with engineers and stakeholders to deliver solutions that are actively used in production by business stakeholders.

Your responsibilities may include:

1. Automated Documentation System

• Design and implement a system that automatically generates and distributes documentation from code and infrastructure
• Ensure documentation is clear, structured, and accessible for both technical and non-technical users
   

2. Infrastructure Standardization & Reusability

• Refactor and modularize infrastructure code to make it reusable across projects
• Introduce standards that improve consistency and maintainability
   

3. Testing Frameworks for Data Infrastructure

• Develop unit and integration testing frameworks for data pipelines and infrastructure
• Improve system robustness and reliability
   

4. Simulation & Resilience Testing

• Build tools to simulate messy or imperfect data scenarios
• Enable testing of edge cases and pipeline resilience
   

5. Infrastructure-as-Code Tooling

• Design tooling to support automated provisioning and configuration of infrastructure
• Improve deployment processes and reproducibility
   

6. Supporting Real Business Use Cases

• Collaborate with stakeholders on short-cycle engineering tasks
• Deliver practical solutions under real business constraints

Your Profile

To be a good match for this internship, you:

• Are a bachelor or master student in Data Engineering, Data Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field.
• Have experience with programming (preferably Python).
• Have a basic understanding of Data engineering concepts and Backend systems.
• Have an interest in CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks and infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform).
• Can think outside of the box and enjoy solving real engineering challenges.
• Are proactive and have the ability to work independently and take ownership.
• Are comfortable working in a collaborative, stakeholder-driven environment.

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;

• Attach your cover letter with a clear motivation why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular;

• You need to be located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter needs to include the willingness to relocate.

• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
