Data Engineering Co-op (Spring 2027)

Description

Onsite: Boston, MA Headquarters

Accelerate LineVision's data platform modernization while building hands-on experience with cloud-native data engineering in the energy sector.

The successful Data Engineering Co-op will support the hardening of LineVision's next-generation data platform, working directly with our Data & Microservices team to strengthen data quality, governance, and reliability as we prepare the platform for its first on-premises utility deployments. Join our collaborative Platform team at LineVision , named one of the Built In Best Places to Work in Boston for three years running.

What will you do?

Core Responsibilities and Key Performance Objectives

• •Build data quality monitoring and observability across our Nexus ingestion and serving pipelines, catching accuracy, completeness, and consistency issues before they reach customers
• •Implement and extend data lineage tracking across our pipelines to improve visibility into how data flows and transforms from ingestion through the Data API
• •Develop automated conformance checks that verify services emit provenance, lineage, and audit events correctly against our governance schemas
• •Help expand audit event coverage beyond pipeline-run events to registry changes, reference-data promotions, and data mutations, strengthening our compliance posture ahead of on-prem deployment
• •Validate data integrity and service behavior across our deployment profiles (LineVision cloud and customer on-premises), building the test coverage and parity checks that harden Nexus for our first on-prem customer
• •Evaluate and prototype datastore and tooling options (time-series stores, object storage, table formats) for specific hardening use cases
• •Document data flows, schema designs, and architectural decisions to build institutional knowledge

What do you need to succeed in this role?

• •Proficiency in SQL to validate data across environments, troubleshoot schema inconsistencies, and verify data integrity as we harden the platform
• •Python skills to debug pipeline and service code, automate data validation, and build data quality and governance-conformance checks
• •Familiarity with AWS cloud services (e.g., S3) and interest in containerized, Kubernetes-based services to work with our pipelines, object storage, and service infrastructure
• •Understanding of core data engineering concepts — data modeling, database design, and layered/pipeline data architecture — with curiosity about data governance, provenance, and lineage
• •Strong communication skills to collaborate with Platform, Quality, and other cross-functional teams on data requirements and validation
• •Technical documentation ability to capture processes, write validation scripts, and build reference materials for the team
