Learn how to turn data into trusted business insights

Spendesk is seeking an Analytics Engineer Intern (IC1) to join our Datapoints squad and support our growing data organization. Reporting to the Squad Team Lead and working closely with our Analytics Engineers, Data Engineer, Software Engineer, Data Product Manager, you will help transform raw data into reliable, well-documented datasets used across Product, Finance, and Go-to-Market teams.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn how modern analytics teams operate in a fast-moving tech company. You will contribute to real data products, improve the quality of analytics assets, and gain hands-on experience with tools such as dbt, Snowflake, and BI platforms, while being coached by senior team members.

About the role

As an Analytics Engineer Intern, you will support the Datapoints squad in building and maintaining the analytics layer that powers reporting and decision-making at Spendesk.

You will work on clearly scoped tasks with guidance from more senior team members. This may include improving model documentation, helping maintain shared datasets, supporting dashboard migration and cleanup, and contributing to data quality checks. Over the course of your 4-month-internship, you will learn how analytics engineering connects data engineering, business needs, and self-service analytics.

• Support the maintenance of semantic descriptions and YAML files for models

• Help identify inconsistencies or missing context in data used by internal stakeholders

BI migration & analytics enablement

You will:

• Support the team in dashboard cleanup and migration activities as we evolve our BI setup

• Help review existing dashboards and data sources to improve consistency and usability

• Contribute to making analytics assets easier to discover and understand for business users

Collaboration & learning
