Now Hiring: Data Science Intern – Kickstart Your Analytics Career

🚀 Exciting Remote Opportunity: Summer Internship in Data Science (Beginner & Intermediate Levels Welcome!)

Are you fascinated by the world of data and eager to apply your skills on real, industry-level projects? Whether you’re just stepping into data science or looking to take your skills up a notch, this summer internship is your chance to work directly with experienced data professionals on real-time business problems!

HiRIST – a leading IT recruitment partner – is hiring Data Science Interns on behalf of a renowned IT company (client details remain confidential) for a live project-based internship. Unlike traditional training or simulation-based programs, this internship offers a rare opportunity to dive into real business scenarios and build your portfolio under expert mentorship.

What You’ll Be Working On:

As a Data Science Intern, you won’t just observe – you’ll contribute meaningfully to ongoing business projects. Your responsibilities will include:

•  Collaborating closely with senior data scientists on real-world datasets
•  Assisting in cleaning, organising, and preparing data for analysis
•  Contributing to feature engineering tasks for machine learning models
•  Supporting the design and analysis of A/B tests and data experiments
•  Helping to build dashboards and visualisations for data-driven decision making

You’ll learn how modern data teams work in real business settings, understand the workflow of turning raw data into insights, and take ownership of tasks with mentorship and guidance every step of the way.

Who Should Apply:

This internship is open to enthusiastic learners at all stages of their data science journey. Whether you’re a student, a recent graduate, or someone who’s been exploring data independently, you’re welcome to apply if you have:

• ✅ A background in STEM (or any analytical discipline)
• ✅ Self-taught or online learning experience in Python, SQL, or data analysis
• ✅ Academic or personal projects in data science (even beginner-level ones)
• ✅ A willingness to contribute, work hard, and grow rapidly through practical experience

You do not need to be a data science expert. If you’re curious, motivated, and ready to learn in a hands-on environment – this opportunity is for you!

Must-Have Skills:

•  Basic knowledge of Python and/or SQL
•  A curious mindset and interest in working with data
•  Familiarity with at least one tool like Excel, Pandas, NumPy, or Tableau/Power BI
•  Good time management and clear communication

Bonus Skills (Nice-to-Have):

•  Exposure to data cleaning or manipulation techniques
• Understanding of basic statistics or A/B testing principles
•  A GitHub or personal portfolio of academic or self-initiated data projects

Even if you don’t meet all of the “nice-to-have” criteria, don’t let that hold you back! This internship is designed to give you that very experience.

Perks:

This isn’t your typical internship – here’s what makes it stand out:

• 1:1 Mentorship from a senior data scientist working on the same live project
• Real Project Experience that you can showcase in your portfolio or CV
• Certificate of Completion at the end of the program
• Letter of Recommendation (based on your performance and contribution)
• Stipend Opportunities for select interns who demonstrate strong skills and involvement
• Flexible Working Hours to fit around your study or part-time schedule
• Remote Setup – work from anywhere with an internet connection

This internship is more than just a learning opportunity – it’s a gateway into how data is used across industries to make smarter, faster business decisions.

Selection Process:

We’ve designed an inclusive and simple process to help the right candidates shine:

1. Resume Screening – we’ll assess your enthusiasm, motivation, and potential
2. Mini Aptitude/Data Task – don’t worry, it’s beginner-friendly!
3. Casual Interview – chat with a mentor or manager to assess fit and interest
4. Final Selection & Remote Onboarding through HiRIST

Apply If You…

•  Can commit at least 15–20 hours/week for a 4–12 week period
•  Are genuinely interested in applying your data knowledge to real-world problems
•  Want to join a collaborative, growth-focused, and tech-savvy team
•  Hope to build a portfolio and gain valuable experience to enhance your CV
•  Don’t want another theory-heavy bootcamp — but prefer real, live projects instead
