HiRIST is hiring Data Science Interns on behalf of one of our IT clients for a summer internship program focused on building real solutions, not simulations or training demos.

• Candidates who are self-taught in Python, SQL, or basic data analysis


• Beginners who have done personal projects, academic work, or online coursework


• Intermediate learners looking to gain real project experience


You don’t need to be an expert — you just need to be willing to contribute, learn fast, and work hard on real tasks under mentorship.


Must-Have Skills:


• Basic knowledge of Python and/or SQL


• Curiosity and willingness to work with data


• Familiarity with any one: Excel, Pandas, Numpy, or visualization tools


• Good communication and time management skills


Nice-to-Have (But Not Required):


• Experience with data cleaning, modeling, or dashboards


• Understanding of statistics or A/B testing


• GitHub or portfolio of data projects (even academic ones)

Selection Process:


1. Resume Screening (emphasis on interest and motivation)


2. Basic Aptitude/Data Task (suitable for beginners too)


3. Friendly Interview with Mentor/Manager


4. Final Selection & Onboarding via HiRIST


Apply If You:


• Are available for 4-12 weeks


• Can commit at least 15–20 hours/week


• Are excited to work in a real tech team, not a training bootcamp


• Want to add real business project experience to your resume
