This is not a course and not a shadowing programme. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
ContextData engineers at Tabby work on the analytics and data platforms behind business decisions, product development and machine learning use cases. That covers data modelling, data pipelines, data quality and consumption by several internal teams.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers who want to grow into data engineering roles. Interns join a real data team, work with production datasets and are expected to meet engineering standards from day one.
