The project involves migrating a Python- and Excel-based process to a scalable, SQL-backed architecture with a secure web-based interface.While the data being processed relates to vulnerability information, the primary focus of the role is on data modelling, backend development, and application design. This internship offers strong hands-on learning opportunities in data engineering, full-stack development, and system design, with exposure to real-world operational datasets.ResponsibilitiesThe intern will contribute to the design and implementation of a system that:Adapts an existing Excel-based data processing workflow to run on an SQL Server backendWorks with Excel files containing structured vulnerability-related datasets from multiple sourcesTranslates a Python (pandas-based) processing pipeline into a database-backed solutionSupports data unification, enrichment, and prioritization logic across multiple inputsIncorporates historical data and user-provided inputs for enrichment and analysisDesigns and implements:A relational database schema and data retention strategyBackend logic to replicate existing processing behaviorA secure web-based frontend to present and interact with the dataEnsures the system:Retains monthly historical data for up to one yearReplicates the full existing process, with data segregation handled at the presentation layerKey Learning OpportunitiesDuring this internship, you will gain practical experience in:Data engineering principles and ETL-style workflowsRelational database design and historical data retentionBackend application development and data access patternsFrontend development and data visualizationTranslating analytical scripts into maintainable, scalable systemsWorking with real enterprise datasets in a production-oriented contextRequired Skills & KnowledgeSQL (querying, joins, schema design, data manipulation)Python, particularly for data processing (e.g., pandas)Database design fundamentalsWeb development basics (frontend and backend concepts)Understanding of structured data workflows and transformationsNice-to-Have Experience or academic exposure to data engineering conceptsFamiliarity with additional programming languages or frameworks suitable for backend or web developmentExperience with REST APIs, ORMs, or web frameworksInterest in system design, scalability, and data qualityExpectationsAbility to work independently on a well-defined technical projectWillingness to learn and apply new tools and technologiesStrong attention to detail when handling structured and historical dataClear documentation of design decisions and implementation choicesCollaboration with mentors and technical stakeholders throughout the projectWho This Internship Is ForThis role is ideal for students or recent graduates primarily interested in data engineering and software development, who want hands-on experience designing databases, building backend services, and developing web-based applications.
