Enterprise Data Intern

 

Role Overview

This 12-week internship offers a hands-on, rotational experience within MJ's Enterprise Data team, designed for a curious and motivated student interested in software engineering, data, analytics, and technology.

Interns will rotate across the team's three core disciplines: Software Engineering, Data Engineering, and Business Intelligence (BI) Development, contributing to real projects and gaining practical exposure to how modern enterprise applications, data platforms, and analytics solutions are designed, developed, and supported.

Throughout the rotation, interns will work alongside members of each team, gaining experience with software development practices, data engineering and database technologies, and reporting and data visualization. The internship culminates in a capstone project and presentation to MJ associates and leadership, allowing the intern to apply the technical and professional skills developed throughout the summer to a meaningful business problem.
