Data Science Summer 2021 Internship

  • Department: Analytics & Data Science

Company Description

Wolt is a technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to your home or office. Wolt works together with over 30,000 restaurant and retail partners as well as with over 60,000 courier partners across 23 countries and 129 cities. 

Our apps (iOS and Android) have the industry’s highest reviews, largely because of our customer-centric approach to how we build our products and operations. For example, our customer service team responds in a matter of seconds, in the customer’s own language. 

We’ve raised more than €707M in financing from renowned U.S. and European based investors, such as ICONIQ Capital, Tiger Global, DST, Prosus, KKR, Coatue, 83North, Goldman Sachs, Highland Europe and EQT Ventures & EQT Growth, among others. We've also been fortunate enough to receive some appreciation and recognition for our hard work along the way: Apple selected Wolt’s app as their Editors' Choice, Wired named the company one of the "Hottest Startups in Europe," Forbes included our CEO Miki Kuusi on its 30-under-30 in Consumer Tech list, and the Nordic Startup Awards named Wolt Company of the Year. 

In 2020, the Financial Times named us Europe’s second fastest growing company. We’re still expanding rapidly and are looking for more talented individuals to join us. If you are passionate about cutting-edge technology, great food, and making an impact in your city, then Wolt just might be for you.

We work in small teams with high ownership, with each team focusing on a key area of the Wolt product stack. Each and every one of our product team members has a say in where we are going and what solutions we implement. We work with a passion, but we haven't forgotten how to have fun along the way!

Job Description

Would you like to have an epic summer while having an impact in the lives of millions of people? We are looking for enthusiastic minds to help us build up Wolt products for everyone involved: 2000+ employees, 8M+ registered users, 27 000+ restaurant partners and 50 000+ courier partners. We operate in 23 countries and more than 120 cities, opening new markets every month. Now the search is on for our Data Science Internship of 2021! We want you to bring in fresh ideas and passion for food and technology – we'll provide the rest! 

For a delivery platform like Wolt data science is a big opportunity. Our business has grown to a level (and keeps growing) where machine learning models for user acquisition, demand prediction, delivery time prediction, dynamic pricing, etc, can have a big effect. And a more effective delivery platform will benefit everyone in our ecosystem: courier partners, merchants and consumers.

So we are building data products that help enhance the user experience of our customers and partners, as well as help create a deeper understanding within the company of the economics and dynamics of the different cities we operate in. How do we do all this? We have an open data culture and work every day to improve the way we store and utilize our data using a variety of tools, e.g. Python, Spark, Snowflake and Looker to get the job done.

This is a paid internship, and we will tailor the internship to suit your situation. You'll be working with one of our 20+ awesome engineering teams where your existing skills will find their best match, and the timing of the internship period can be adjusted based on your availability.

Qualifications

We are looking for Interns who don't hesitate to take ownership from day one. Ability to search for information and asking questions to learn along the way is crucial. You don't have to have working experience or a shiny CV - You can prove your skills by completing the assignment we have prepared for you. You will find it at the end of this post.
