Data engineer in Gen AI

In short

This is a 12-month hybrid internship in Barcelona on a global Data and Analytics team, building Gen AI data pipelines, RAG architectures, and vector search for enterprise analytics. The role suits a graduate student (Master's or PhD) with strong SQL and database design skills, who will support senior engineers in data integration, governance, and AI-driven analytics. Onsite Monday–Thursday with remote flexibility on Fridays; Python, vector databases, and LLM orchestration frameworks like LangChain are a plus.

Join our dynamic global Data and Analytics team in Barcelona for an exciting internship where you will work on cutting-edge data pipelines, vector search, and AI-driven analytics to empower enterprise innovation.
Responsibilities
•Gain hands-on experience preparing structured and unstructured data to build modern Gen AI pipelines, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures and embedding ingestion workflows.
•Perform data exploration, analysis, prompt context dataset curation, database modeling, and stewardship activities to support automated task execution.
•Assist senior engineers in connecting to internal and external data sources, database administration, and applying software development lifecycle best practices.
•Support data integration and vector processing workflows across our global enterprise ecosystem.
•Support data governance initiatives by helping establish guidelines for data privacy, cataloging, classification, and responsible AI practices.
•Ensure data hygiene and alignment with enterprise security frameworks.
•Collaborate closely with senior data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and global business stakeholders to learn and implement industry best practices.
