Join us as a Data Analytics Intern and help build the technical foundation that protects our 700,000+ customers. You'll join the Risk Analytics team, working closely with Vatsal Parekh to deliver reliable data, reporting and tools that help Risk & Compliance teams respond to regulators, auditors and internal controllers — while exploring how AI can make that work smarter.

Internship, ideal start January 2027
Planned duration: 6 months

➡️ In this internship, you will:
Handle real stakeholder requests: Deliver reliable SQL data extracts for regulatory reporting, audits and internal controls, owning daily "run" tickets with increasing autonomy.
Build and improve dashboards: Analyse data and create or enhance reporting dashboards and visualisations that Risk & Compliance teams actually use to steer activity and risk.
Maintain and develop technical tools: Apply and grow your SQL and/or Python skills to maintain and improve existing tools and code — you don't need to master both from day one.
Grow into a bigger project: Depending on your capabilities and team priorities, you may contribute to or take ownership of a longer-term technical project over the internship — scope to be confirmed with your manager.

➡️ What you can expect:
Visible impact: Your data and tools directly support how Risk & Compliance teams respond to regulators, internal auditors and controllers.
Close mentoring: You'll be mentored by Vatsal Parekh and Omayma Nayma, with weekly 1:1 check-ins and day-to-day support.
Room to grow: Your scope can expand as you demonstrate capability — there's no fixed ceiling on what you can take on beyond the daily tickets.
Modern, AI-native stack: Unlimited access to AI tools like Claude Code to accelerate your work.
Hybrid work in Paris: 2 days remote per week

➡️ About You:
Technical foundation: You're ideally an M2 / final-year student (gap-year candidates welcome) in Computer Science, Software or Computer Engineering, from an engineering school or a technically strong university programme — international universities welcome, provided your school can issue a convention de stage.
Practical skills: Python and/or SQL fluency.You write clean maintainable code and know how to structure a real project.
Communication: You are fluent in English and can clearly communicate your work with teammates and stakeholders.
Experience: A previous relevant data or engineering internship is a plus; so is experience with dashboards or maintaining existing tools.
Curiosity: You're interested in fintech and banking and willing to learn the compliance context. A dual technical/finance background is a bonus, not a must.
➡️ About your future Manager:

Your manager will be Vatsal Parekh, Lead Risk & Compliance Engineering at Qonto. He'll give you day-to-day context on how Risk Analytics supports regulators, auditors and internal controllers, while giving you room to build practical experience and take on more responsibility as you go.
His background? Vatsal spent close to a decade at Société Générale as Senior Regulatory Risk Manager and Global Product Owner for the Counterparty Credit Risk platform, leading a team across the Americas, Europe and Asia with direct exposure to ECB and Fed regulatory frameworks. He then moved into risk and compliance consulting at Tremau, managing a team of 10 delivering engagements for global e-commerce and social media platforms, before joining Qonto in 2026.
What he brings to the team? A combination of hands-on regulatory risk expertise, consulting-grade delivery rigor, and deep technical fluency — 10+ years of SQL, hands-on use of AI-assisted workflows, and a track record of building data and reporting processes from scratch. He gives the team both technical grounding and a first-hand read on what regulators and auditors actually need.
