Data Analytics Intern

Join us as a Data Analytics Intern and help build the technical foundation that protects our 700,000+ customers. You'll join the Risk Analytics team, working closely with Vatsal Parekh to deliver reliable data, reporting and tools that help Risk & Compliance teams respond to regulators, auditors and internal controllers - while exploring how AI can make that work smarter.

Internship, ideal start January 2027

Planned duration: 6 months

In this internship, you will:

• Handle real stakeholder requests: Deliver reliable SQL data extracts for regulatory reporting, audits and internal controls, owning daily "run" tickets with increasing autonomy.
• Build and improve dashboards: Analyse data and create or enhance reporting dashboards and visualisations that Risk & Compliance teams actually use to steer activity and risk.
• Maintain and develop technical tools: Apply and grow your SQL and/or Python skills to maintain and improve existing tools and code - you don't need to master both from day one.
• Grow into a bigger project: Depending on your capabilities and team priorities, you may contribute to or take ownership of a longer-term technical project over the internship - scope to be confirmed with your manager.

What you can expect:

• Visible impact: Your data and tools directly support how Risk & Compliance teams respond to regulators, internal auditors and controllers.
• Close mentoring: You'll be mentored by Vatsal Parekh and Omayma Nayma, with weekly 1:1 check-ins and day-to-day support.
• Room to grow: Your scope can expand as you demonstrate capability - there's no fixed ceiling on what you can take on beyond the daily tickets.
• Modern, AI-native stack: Unlimited access to AI tools like Claude Code to accelerate your work.
• Hybrid work in Paris: 2 days remote per week

About You:

• Technical foundation: You're ideally an M2 / final-year student (gap-year candidates welcome) in Computer Science, Software or Computer Engineering, from an engineering school or a technically strong university programme - international universities welcome, provided your school can issue a convention de stage.
• Practical skills: Python and/or SQL fluency. You write clean maintainable code and know how to structure a real project.
• Communication: You are fluent in English and can clearly communicate your work with teammates and stakeholders.
• Experience: A previous relevant data or engineering internship is a plus; so is experience with dashboards or maintaining existing tools.
• Curiosity: You're interested in fintech and banking and willing to learn the compliance context. A dual technical/finance background is a bonus, not a must.

About your future Manager:

Your manager will be Vatsal Parekh, Lead Risk & Compliance Engineering at Qonto. He'll give you day-to-day context on how Risk Analytics supports regulators, auditors and internal controllers, while giving you room to build practical experience and take on more responsibility as you go.

• His background? Vatsal spent close to a decade at Société Générale as Senior Regulatory Risk Manager and Global Product Owner for the Counterparty Credit Risk platform, leading a team across the Americas, Europe and Asia with direct exposure to ECB and Fed regulatory frameworks. He then moved into risk and compliance consulting at Tremau, managing a team of 10 delivering engagements for global e-commerce and social media platforms, before joining Qonto in 2026.
• What he brings to the team? A combination of hands-on regulatory risk expertise, consulting-grade delivery rigor, and deep technical fluency - 10+ years of SQL, hands-on use of AI-assisted workflows, and a track record of building data and reporting processes from scratch. He gives the team both technical grounding and a first-hand read on what regulators and auditors actually need.

At Qonto we understand that true diversity isn't just about ticking boxes on a hiring checklist. Apply regardless of the boxes you tick! Who knows? You may have the missing piece of the puzzle we've been searching for all along.
