From the risk models that protect our merchants to the data products that empower teams across the company. We’re hiring a Data Intern to work on real machine learning and data engineering problems from your first week.This is a 12 to 18 month internship embedded in the team. You’ll have a mentor, a seat in code reviews and design discussions, and production-bound projects of your own. You’ll work across our data function, with one foot in Data Science and one in Data Platform, so you see how a model is developed, deployed and monitored and how the infrastructure underneath it is built and run. Most students finish a degree with coursework and a class project. You’ll finish with a pipeline or model that supports thousands of businesses across Canada and the US.\nOur team builds with AI-assisted and agentic workflows every day. You’ll learn how a modern data team uses AI tooling to move faster, and where human judgment still makes the call. You don’t need prior AI experience.\nHow we work\nFour things we hold each other to: we build rather than wait, we take the harder path when it’s the right one, we earn trust daily, and we get more done together than apart. The long version is our culture book, The Way of the Helcim.\nWhat You'll Own\nBuild and deploy data products and pipelines that run in production\nDevelop with autonomous agents and modern AI tooling\nWork across the full lifecycle, from data platform infrastructure to deployed ML models\nHelp shape how a modern data team builds with AI\nAre You Our Next Builder?\nYou’re a student who thrives on real-world problems and wants to build things that last. You’re hungry to learn, you ask good questions, and you pick up new tools quickly, AI tools included. You take ownership of your work from first draft to production, and you care more about the team’s results than individual credit. If you can work in Python and SQL, we’ll teach you the rest, with dedicated time set aside to mentor you. You put in the work alongside us and leave things better than you found them.What you bring:\nYou're currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics or another quantitative field.\nYou have working proficiency in Python and SQL. You can reason through unfamiliar code, evaluate its logic critically and identify flaws. We'll help you develop the rest.\nYou enjoy messy, real-world problems, you're fine when the path isn't fully defined, and you ask good questions.\nYou don't need generative AI expertise, but you should be keen to pick up new tools and understand how they're changing data work.\nYou care more about the team's results than individual credit, and you look for ways to help beyond your own tasks.\nFamiliarity with a cloud platform such as GCP is a bonus.\nThe Role: What You’ll Own\nBuild and deploy data products and pipelines that run in production\nDevelop with autonomous agents and modern AI tooling\nWork across the full lifecycle, from data platform infrastructure to deployed ML models\nHelp shape how a modern data team builds with AI","description_format":"text","description_chars":3143,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-14T01:39:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":116,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T04:07:31Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/helcim-data-internship-may-2026","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/helcim-data-internship-may-2026.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T04:07:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6530,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58123},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58123"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhelcim-data-internship-may-2026"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhelcim-data-internship-may-2026"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhelcim-data-internship-may-2026"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/helcim-data-internship-may-2026\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhelcim-data-internship-may-2026"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4296935}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"helcim.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4296935},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
