Internship Description:
Looking for a job to get you out of bed?
Casper is looking for an intern to join the tech team this summer to work on data engineering initiatives. The data engineering team serves as the curators of all data at Casper to help the organization understand how we are performing. As an intern on the data engineering team, you will work with other engineers and analysts to build systems that improve the availability of data at Casper. Your work will serve as an important piece of our data infrastructure as we continue to collect and gain insight from new data sources.
Casper (casper.com) is a global sleep company that launched in 2014 with an obsessively engineered, outrageously comfortable mattress sold directly to consumers. Its critically acclaimed sleep surface was developed in-house, has a sleek design, and is delivered in a small, "how did they do that?"-sized box. The company is one of the fastest-growing consumer brands of all time, and its product line has expanded to include sheets, pillows, a matching foundation, and a dog mattress. Casper was named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies in 2017, and its eponymous mattress was crowned one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions.
We are deeply committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce so that we represent all those who dream big equally.
Casper Summer Internship program runs June 11 - August 17, 2018.
