Data Intern

About the Role

Vendelux is seeking a technically-minded individual eager to work on real data problems at a fast-growing startup. This is a paid, onsite role for a local college or MBA student who can commit ~20+ hours/week. You will work directly on the data team, writing SQL, building pipelines, and using AI tools to power the insights our platform depends on. For the right person, this could develop into a full-time role.

Key Responsibilities

• Write SQL queries to analyze events, attendees, and organizations; surface insights that directly inform product and business decisions
• Build and maintain dashboards to monitor data quality and pipeline health
• Identify and resolve data errors in our database; investigate patterns and potential root causes
• Use and evaluate AI/LLM-enabled tools to generate, validate, and manage large datasets
• Conduct structured research to identify and validate key data inputs for machine learning models
• Collaborate with the data and engineering teams on data infrastructure and tooling improvements

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Based in New York City and able to work from our Midtown office
• Available ~20+ hours per week
• Proficiency in SQL — comfortable writing non-trivial queries against real datasets
• Familiarity with Python is a strong plus
• Experience with dashboarding tools (Looker, Metabase, Tableau, or similar) is a plus
• Detail-oriented with high ownership over your work
• Genuinely curious about data, AI, and how systems are built

Qualifications

• None explicitly stated beyond the "What We're Looking For" section.
