Opportunity brief
Portcast is hiring for the role of Data Analyst Intern!
Responsibilities of the Intern:
- Check ingested and system-generated data for anomalies and gaps, and help trace them to the source. - Help build and run QA checks, report generation, and automations using Python and SQL. - Assist the Data Analysts on day-to-day customer data queries and dashboard upkeep. - Support new data-source integrations, connecting carrier and market data into our system, with guidance from the team. - Document what you build and what you find, so the team can rely on and reuse your work.
Requirements:
- Currently pursuing (Final-year student) or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Data Analytics, Data Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Statistics, or a related field. - Working knowledge of Python and SQL, you don't need years of experience, but you should be able to write a query and a script and want to get sharper fast. - Prior internship experience in a Data Analyst or Business Analyst role, preferably in a product-based, lean startup, particularly in logistics, ecommerce or B2B SaaS data-heavy domain. - Willing to learn over "already knows everything": we hire interns for curiosity and effort. You put in the work to understand our domain, product, data, and customers. - Curious by Default: when the data surprises you, you chase the why. You ask good questions early and treat every gap as something worth understanding. - You own your output, AI included. You can use AI tools to move faster, but you read and validate what they produce; you don't just paste it. If one day the tool isn't there, you can still write the query yourself. You can explain what you did and why, without saying "the AI did it." - An eye for detail: you notice when a number looks wrong before anyone else does. - Empathy and urgency: you understand that clean data is what customers are counting on, and you move promptly day to day. - Fluent in written and verbal English, and comfortable working in a diverse, fully remote team.
