We have people in offices around the world: Headquartered in Chicago, with offices in Conshohocken, PA (Philly area), New York, San Mateo and Krakow, Poland. We hustle to get things done, creating wins for customers, merchants and each other.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will join a diverse data science team, based out of our Chicago office. We use our extensive store of cross-market e-commerce data to create predictive models that help move our business forward. As an intern on our team, you will be paired with a senior data scientist mentor and you will work on collaborative projects to help us push the limits of what our data can do to serve both our merchants and customers, while learning new predictive modeling and software engineering skills along the way. Some of the projects we’re working on include:

• Analyzing our massive store of data to better understand how our customers interact with ShopRunner and our merchant network. We’re using our findings to identify new segments for ShopRunner to focus on, to build recommendation systems, and to build predictive targeting models.
• Developing computer vision algorithms on top of our collection of roughly 50 million product images.
• Uncovering opportunities for new products and services within our customer and merchant network, often developing prototypes.
• Working with the engineering team to develop new products, assisting with data architecture and model deployment, and ensuring our products will scale with usage across our merchant network.

In addition to your data science work, you’ll get to interact with and learn from other departments at ShopRunner including data engineering, analytics, product, and design.

• Undergraduate students (junior level or above), graduate students, bootcamp graduates or recent graduates in a relevant field, including Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics.
• Working proficiency in Python.
• Experience working with data.
• Experience with machine learning or applied statistics.
• Interest in software development best practices and working on systems that either are already or will eventually be put into production environments.
• Ability to work full time from Chicago for 10-12 weeks over the summer.
