Data Science Intern

PlanSource is a high-growth software company headquartered in Orlando, Florida, with offices in Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Grand Rapids MI, and Charleston SC. We are looking to provide college students with an internship opportunity to gain real-world experience in developing, deploying, and maintaining data pipelines and machine learning solutions while receiving mentorship from highly experienced industry professionals.

 

PlanSource is part of the Vista Equity Partners portfolio of companies. Together, we are working to reinvent the employee benefits administration landscape. Our talented associates benefit from this partnership through increased capital for strategic investments, access to exceptional toolkits, best practices and resources for success, and strong cultural and value alignment focused on talent development and growth.

 

This is your time to shine. Our Data Science interns are considered full-time employees by their peers--in fact, in our collaborative culture, you find plenty of opportunities to make impactful contributions to our Product Team. Under the supervision of our staff, the Associate Data Science Intern can expect to support engineering and data science teams on our data initiatives, ensuring data is accurate and reliable and that models are well-trained and properly deployed. You should be self-motivated and comfortable supporting the needs of multiple teams, systems, and products.

 

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to learn our data science process from early concept to model deployment, and to work with stakeholders to scope projects, with UX teams to design solutions, with data scientists to create and train models, and with engineering to deploy and productionalize results. We foster an environment that empowers small teams to collaboratively set the direction of our solutions.

 

In addition, you’ll need the following:

 

·        Enrolled in junior year or higher at a college/university

·        Working towards a BS in a quantitative discipline such as statistics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or physics

·        Strong problem-solving and communication skills

·        Some experience with SQL and at least one programming language

·        Some experience with Unix-like operating systems

·        A desire to take ambiguous problems and see them through to the finish line

 

It would be cool if you were/had:

 

·        Some experience with Python

·        Some experience with or understanding of the AWS tech stack

·        Organized and detail oriented. You have time management down to a science, great follow through on tasks, and superior organizational skills.

·        Analytical. You pursue insights that provide thoughtful answers to complex problems.

·        Inquisitive. Innovative and resourceful, you are constantly looking for ways to improve upon things.

·        Collaborative. Our collaborative environment fosters a supportive team dynamic based on continual feedback.

 

 

•     The opportunity to work for a fast growing, established technology company, but work side-by-side with a small, dynamic team of talented professionals.

•     Fast-paced environment with big goals and the opportunity to make a big impact (no bureaucracy).

•     An awesome work environment for creative professionals.
