Come grow with us! 

DATA SCIENCE AT CROWE:

We are a team of about 30 data scientists, machine learning engineers, and project managers, spread across several projects delivering products in professional services. Our work often starts in a Jupyter notebook and local IDE development, but rarely ends there; we deliver ML models as scalable, enterprise-ready API services. We attend DS conferences and gather for a Book Club/Journal Club to discuss the latest developments in ML or consider broader issues in ethics, productivity, and culture. Come work with us!  

ROLE SUMMARY:

The data science (DS) internship at Crowe follows the firmwide calendar, approximately overlapping the academic summer. DS interns will have a designated data scientist mentor and will spend the majority of their time working on a data science project overseen by that mentor. The expectation is that at the end of the internship, functional and demonstrable progress has been made in a way that can be integrated into the functional portfolio of the team.  

Important: the data science internship does not necessarily transition to a full-time role at the end of the period. Depending on team need, firm budget, and fit, interns should not expect their time to conclude with an offer. 

Example projects that may be prioritized for an internship:

• Anomaly detection using deep neural networks 

• Numerical optimization applied to problems in manufacturing 

• Personal identifiable information (PII) and personal health information (PHI) detection in natural language

ROLE EXPECTATIONS:

This is a fast-paced environment with a high learning curve, so we provide many resources and on-the-job training opportunities – if you are willing to learn and build your areas of expertise, you will succeed.  The data science internship is intended to expose the intern to what it means to do data science on a team in an enterprise setting. To that end, there are three major components with which an intern should expect to engage. 

MODELING 

• Understanding how to frame business problems as data science problems 

• Navigating the full data science lifecycle: research and exploration, development, deployment, support 

• Using correct model selection and training procedures to prevent common modeling errors 

• Creating reasonable test scenarios and diagnostic measures

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

• Writing high quality Python (readable, reusable, modular, and well-abstracted code) 

• Using Linux, the terminal, and other core development tools 

• Understanding source control (git), containerization (docker) and deployment technologies (cicd/k8s) 

• Participating in code reviews

BUSINESS VALUE AND PROCESSES

• Contributing to team development processes and agile/scrum rituals 

• Helping to clarify and prioritize work, define success criteria, and own work item completion 

• Applying all relevant change management controls for risk and compliance policies  

• Presenting work clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
