Nexus Cognitive Technologies Data Engineer Intern at Nexus Cognitive Technologies working on modern data engineering and AI-native platforms. Build real data pipelines and contribute to enterprise production features during a summer internship.
Responsibilities
We’re looking for Data Engineering Interns to join our product and delivery team in Atlanta for Summer 2027. You should be excited about working where modern data engineering meets AI. This is not a shadowing internship. You’ll write real code, build real pipelines, and contribute to features and integrations that run in enterprise production environments, including agentic workflows that put data to work on its own.
You’ll be paired with senior engineers and solution architects, own a defined project for the summer, and present your work to the team at the end. If you’re curious, learn quickly, and want to see your code running at scale, this is the right place to spend your summer.
Help onboard enterprise customer workloads to NexusOne, including data ingestion, transformation, analytics, and AI ops
Build and test product features with a focus on performance, quality, and scale
Contribute to agentic data workflows: pipelines and integrations that let AI agents act on enterprise data
Work hands-on with modern data technologies including Kubernetes, Apache Spark, dbt, Trino, Airflow, and Iceberg
Write Python, Java, or Scala to implement features and modernize customer workloads
Analyze datasets to find trends, anomalies, and data quality issues
Troubleshoot and debug data issues alongside senior engineers
Take part in team standups, code reviews, and proof-of-concept evaluations
If this role sounds like a great fit — or even close to one — we’d love to hear from you. We know that no candidate checks every single box, and we’re excited to meet people who bring curiosity, talent, and a desire to build meaningful work together.
