Data Engineer Intern - Summer 2025

Mark43’s mission is to empower communities and their governments with new technologies that improve the safety and quality of life for all. We build powerful, scalable, and elegant software that sets a new standard for the tools upon which our first responders rely. Our users are diverse, and we are therefore committed to embracing diversity of thought and experience within our team. 

Mark43 is seeking bright and ambitious engineering students for our annual paid summer internship program. We are primarily looking for students graduating in the Spring/Summer of 2025. Our internship program will be running from June 3rd, 2025 - August 26th, 2025. 

While interning at Mark43, you will be fully integrated into the team and will have the chance to gain a foundation in data engineering through exposure to a variety of technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills. You will have the ability to actively contribute to the design, implementation, and optimization of scalable data systems that power our public safety software solutions. We are building complex mission-critical software, due to this, the ideal intern candidate will be someone who has completed their junior year before starting the internship. Prior internship experience building enterprise software is a huge plus. 

What we expect from you: 

• Collaborate with Product Managers and Product Owners to understand requirements for new data features 
• Utilized technologies such as SQL and Python 
• Owning technical solutions for data products or subsets 
• Improve the architectural strategy of our data platform to meet the growing needs of our customer base 
• Test out new technologies and contribute to discussions on improving our engineering practices 

It’s a bonus if you have any exposure to technologies such as DMS, Redshift, Glue, S3, Lambdas, PySpark, Google Looker, Terraform.  

What you can expect from us: 

• Hands-on mentorship from a seasoned member of our team 
• Building mission-critical and socially responsible software to enable first responders to better serve their communities 
• The opportunity to see your work deployed and be integrated into the team  
• Constant collaboration with numerous Mark43 teams, including design, product management, and implementation 
• A team that respects and embraces your ideas and expertise 
• Coworkers that are motivated by pursuing excellence, rather than the prospect of personal gain 
• A workplace dedicated to supporting and bettering public safety and government agencies 

We feel passionately about equal pay for equal work, and transparency in compensation is one vehicle to achieve that. Compensation for this role is paid an hourly rate of $45 per hour (USD).  

We recommend Canadian students apply for the internship based in our Toronto Office!
