As an IT intern at YourSurprise you will be fully part of the IT team, consisting of around 30 people with expertise in software development, data science, testing and much more. The team consists of mainly Dutch speaking people, however we have some international colleagues as well.

You will be placed in our Business Intelligence ship, which is an autonomous team that handles everything related to data within YourSurprise. This ship is responsible for forecasting the expected amount of gifts we are going to sell, both on long and short term. Contribute to the data-driven optimization of various teams, so that they can work faster, better and/or cheaper. And we work on models that optimize our planning, and help us understand our customers better.

Who will you be learning from?

Software and data is one of the most important things that causes growth at YourSurprise. Whether it is the personalization software, automating our production department, forecasting the amount of gifts we have to produce on a certain day, we all implemented it ourselves.

Your colleagues are professionals with high ambitions. Every day they are working on the core of YourSurprise and improving it little by little. Most colleagues are using techniques like python and SQL, which are our main programming languages within the data science domain. On top of that we use Tools like DBT and Looker.

For your internship, you will be assigned your own buddy ( internship supervisor). This will be one of our colleagues, depending on which ship and project you choose.

What projects do we have?

Based on your ambitions and knowledge, we will define a project or research project. Some of the projects we have in mind right now are:

• Research projects around data driven business, data adaptation, the gap between people and data, data driven strategy, etc;
