SendGrid sends billions of emails! This means big data and big challenges. SendGrid is looking for a PhD/Master's level student to apply their modeling and prediction expertise to solve one of SendGrid's challenges during a 3 month internship. Along with benefiting SendGrid, the internship is designed to help the intern advance their academic career through publication(s) and/or Big Data experience!

Practically, this will look like a student with BOTH strong numerical and coding skills. The intern will have one simple requirement: to produce software that solves a challenge at SendGrid. SendGrid will also provide limited funding for publishing or attendance costs related to a peer-reviewed publication in their field of study. Examples of challenges at SendGrid that would be appropriate for the internship include: Semantic Clustering of content, Behavior Classification (email sender or recipient) or even rate limiting or throttling optimization for massive email traffic. Basically we’re open to any good idea if we see it benefiting SendGrid!

SendGrid is an awesome place to work! Besides having a laid back and fun culture it is one of the most successful and hottest new tech companies in the Denver-Boulder area and in the nation. Applying one’s data skills at SendGrid is a great first step toward an advanced data career with fast moving tech companies. This internship is slated for Summer 2015.
