Data Scientist Placement Student

About Dublin Cloud:

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Dublin, County Dublin and two nearshore delivery centres. We started in 2001 and have grown to about 780 people.

The internship:

Remote ML internship focused on real company data, not Kaggle datasets. Most of the time goes into cleaning data and checking whether a model actually helps. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Ireland. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

• Evaluate models using precision, recall, AUC and other metrics that fit the problem.
• Pull data from BigQuery or PostgreSQL with SQL queries.
• Engineer features from transaction, text or event data.
• Package a trained model behind a simple FastAPI endpoint for testing.
• Track experiments in MLflow or Weights & Biases so results can be reproduced.
• Train baseline models with scikit-learn and compare them against simple rules.
• Document assumptions, data sources and results in Confluence or Notion.
• Run exploratory analysis and write up what you find in a Jupyter notebook.

Requirements:

• Based in Ireland for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in Ireland.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Familiar with Jupyter or Google Colab.
• Basic statistics: distributions, hypothesis testing, sampling.
• Laptop with 8 GB RAM or more and a stable internet connection (no GPU needed, we provide cloud compute)

Bonus points:

• Experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow.

What you get out of it:

• You will take one model from raw data to an evaluated prototype.
• Experiment tracking and reproducible notebooks, the way the team actually does it.
• Weekly mentorship from a senior data scientist.
