Hardware Data Engineering Intern (Winter 2022)

  • Intern

Company Description

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square. 
 

Job Description

We need your help to collect data about our hardware, organize that data, and make it available to analysts and data scientists across Square. As a member of the Hardware data engineering team, you will help define, develop, and manage a variety of data infrastructure components and pipelines so that our analytics teams and collaborators have trusted data to inform decisions and insights.

You will: 

  • Join our small but mighty team of data engineers that support the Hardware organization at Square.

  • Play an integral part in ensuring business critical analytics continue to be timely and reliable.

  • Help implement and manage data pipelines to support analysis of hardware data, including structuring optimized ETLs and designing validation scripts.

  • Work with upstream infrastructure platform engineering teams and downstream data consumers to build and maintain scalable data products.

  • Report to a data engineer on the Hardware Data Engineering team.

Qualifications

You have/are:

  • Available for a full-time, remote 12-16 week internship starting in late January 2022, and graduating between Dec 2022 and May 2024. Recent bootcamp graduates and engineering training participants are also eligible within six months of completing program/training requirements

  • Experience building and supporting reporting data systems built on columnar oriented RDBMS systems (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc.) 

  • Experience with SQL and building data pipelines (e.g. ELT)

  • Some experience with Linux/OSX command line, version control software (git), and general software development

 

Even Better:

  • Familiarity with technologies such as Apache Airflow (orchestrating workflows or pipelines)

  • Knowledge in database modeling concepts and implementation

  • Experience building data pipelines from heterogeneous data sources (e.g. Event streams, Flat Files, RDBMS, REST APIs, etc.)

  • Experience with cloud based data tools and services (e.g. AWS Lambda/S3/Transfer, Fivetran, etc.)
