Employment Type: Internship
Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, KSA
About the company
Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. Data is a core part of how products, risk, finance, and operations are built and scaled. We work with large volumes of data under strict requirements for quality, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
Context
Data engineers at Tabby work on analytics and data platforms that support business decisions, product development, and machine learning use cases. This includes data modeling, data pipelines, data quality, and consumption by multiple internal teams.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers who want to grow into data engineering roles. Interns are embedded into real data teams, work with production datasets, and are expected to meet engineering standards from day one.
Key Responsibilities
This is not a helper or reporting-only role. Interns work on real production tasks under senior review.
- Develop and maintain analytical data models
- Work with SQL-based transformations and data pipelines
- Contribute to data quality checks and validation logic
- Help build and maintain data products used by business and engineering teams
- Work with orchestration tools and scheduled data workflows
- Participate in discussions around data modeling, metrics, and definitions
- Investigate data issues and help identify root causes
- Improve reliability and cost efficiency of data processing
