Your Opportunity
This internship role involves working with one of two Business Intelligence teams responsible for data ingestion and reporting solutions that support internal and external stakeholders. The intern will modernize serverless components by converting AWS Lambda functions from Node.js to Python, updating AWS Step Functions using the AWS SDK, and implementing IAM access controls aligned with least-privilege principles.

The role provides hands-on experience with modern cloud and data engineering practices, including AWS Lambda, Step Functions, IAM, CI/CD workflows, and serverless architecture.

This position offers practical exposure to building secure, scalable data pipelines and strengthening an organization’s cloud security posture.
The role will provide an opportunity to work with Team Electric Mayhem and Team Alexandria. Both teams are virtual and engineers collaborate daily via Teams from around the world. The two BI teams focus on collaboration, positive attitude and mutual respect to nurture a productive and positive work/team culture.
