Data Science Intern (Winter 2027)

This internship will take place from January 25 - April 16 and you will need to be able to work out of our SF office during this time.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE:

- Conduct data analyses to gain insights about Notion and use these insights to uncover opportunities for improvements in our product and business.

- Communicate these insights with actionable recommendations to cross-functional teams (insights are useful, impact is even better!).

- Work with cross-functional partners across the product and business to learn about their functions and use data to advance their respective areas.

- Create metrics and build dashboards to monitor the growth and health of Notion.

- Communicate insights and recommendations effectively to leadership and have an impact on strategic decision-making.

QUALIFICATIONS:

- Pursuing a bachelor's or master's in a quantitative field such as Economics, Statistics, Applied Math, Engineering, Computer Science, or Natural Sciences. Must graduate before December 2027.

- This internship will take place from January 25 - April 16 and you will need to be able to work out of our SF office during this time.

- Previous research or internship experience.

- Proficient in SQL for data extraction, transformation, and analysis.

- Working towards proficiency in one or more scripting languages such as Python or R.

- You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering problems as much as solving them.

- You are able to problem-solve and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:

- Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.

- Put users first: You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad.

- Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies and programming languages are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you go.

- Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.

- Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

- AI enthusiast: You have built or prototyped features with AI technologies (LLMs, Embeddings, ML) and are interested in learning more.

NICE TO HAVES:

- You have previous intern experience working with product, engineering, or GTM teams.

- You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others—and understand why we're big fans of their work.

- You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.
