Data Engineer Intern

About Us:

At SurplusMap, we are revolutionizing green infrastructure and sustainable mobility through data-driven, AI-powered technology. Our platform is at the forefront of EV charging infrastructure development, geospatial data analysis, and energy forecasting, with ongoing projects supported by leading European tech organizations such as ESA, EIT Urban Mobility, and backed by investors like Equinor-Techstars, Simula, and Bentley Systems.

Join us in accelerating the green transition across Europe as we scale our platform to optimize sustainable mobility and energy solutions.

The Role:

As a Data Engineer Intern at SurplusMap, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our data pipelines and infrastructure. You’ll collaborate with our engineering and data science teams to help maintain efficient and scalable data architectures. Working alongside our Senior Data Engineer, you will gain hands-on experience with large datasets, ETL processes, and cutting-edge AI tools to power the green energy transition.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone eager to grow their technical skills and contribute to impactful projects aimed at electrifying the transportation industry and achieving cleaner cities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with our engineering and data science teams to design, develop, and maintain data pipelines, including ETL processes.
• Implement and optimize data storage solutions using Google Cloud products like BigQuery.
• Work with DBT and Dataform to build robust data transformation workflows.
• Assist in managing cloud infrastructure with Terraform (nice to have).
• Ensure data integrity and security across our platform by following best practices in data engineering.
• Support AI-powered models for EV charger utilization, energy load forecasting, and geospatial analysis.
• Participate in the design and development of scalable data architectures, contributing to projects aimed at optimizing sustainable mobility solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on projects that integrate machine learning models for energy and infrastructure predictions.

Desired Skills and Qualifications:

• Strong proficiency in Google Cloud products (especially BigQuery).
• Hands-on experience with SQL for querying large datasets.
• Familiarity with DBT, Dataform, or similar tools for data transformations.
• Basic knowledge of Python for scripting and automation.
• Exposure to Terraform for infrastructure-as-code is a plus.
• Understanding of data pipeline design, optimization, and ETL processes.
• Interest in AI, geospatial data, and green energy technologies (experience with GIS tools or similar is a bonus).
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and in collaboration with diverse teams.
• Eagerness to learn and grow within a dynamic startup environment.

What We Offer:

• Mentorship and growth opportunities working directly with our Senior Data Engineer and exposure to industry leaders like Simula.
• Work on cutting-edge projects in the EV charging infrastructure and green energy space.
• Opportunity to collaborate with world-class partners like the European Space Agency and EIT Urban Mobility.
• A vibrant, innovative startup environment with flexible working hours at our office in StartupLab in Oslo.
• Be part of a mission-driven team dedicated to bold innovation, sustainability, and creating positive environmental impact.

Preferred Location:

We prefer candidates based in Oslo, but we are open to remote positions for the right candidate.
