What we look for
We’re hiring a Python Developer focused on data processing, scripting, and automation, with the ability to maintain and debug existing backend systems. We process around 10 million data points each month and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data quality.
This is not a full-stack role: the focus is on data workflows and Python-based systems, with occasional support on backend fixes and improvements. In this role, you will collaborate closely with top-tier cybersecurity engineers, machine learning engineers, as well as back-end and full-stack developers.
This is a full-time, 6-month internship with the goal of transitioning into a permanent role. You’ll have full flexibility in choosing where and when you work, with a 100% remote (smart working) policy. That said, we encourage you to spend some time on-site at OGR Turin during your first weeks, so you can work closely with the team, enjoy a strong onboarding experience, and get to know your colleagues in person.

- You enjoy working with data and building efficient pipelines or scripts.
- You’re comfortable reading and debugging backend code, even if it’s not your main focus.
- You are proactive, independent, and solution-oriented.
- You like keeping things simple, clean, and scalable.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and maintain Python scripts and data pipelines.
- Work on data extraction, transformation, and processing workflows.

Compensation
- 750€/month
- Stock Options Plan: after the internship, granted and decided upon alignment with the role and the team.
- Smart Working: we have an office in Turin in OGR, we recommend to come in presence but you are free to be full remote.
- Startup Exposure: learning curves in early stage is massive, it is very rare to find organizations that can provide you with such personal and professional growth.
Selection Process
We keep our hiring process simple, respectful of your time, and focused on truly getting to know you. We aim to move fast, typically within 6 weeks from first call to final decision.
- Introductory Call: we get to know each other and assess you mindset, attitude and reasoning (video call).
