At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries with our innovative and sustainable app-only service. We do almost everything in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to grow rapidly without missing a beat. If you’re a passionate Data Science student, we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our Amsterdam HQ and make a real difference in our scaleup environment.

🥜 In a nutshell

As an intern on the Data Science team at Picnic, you’ll have the opportunity to own a complete end-to-end data science project that solves a real business problem for Picnic.

Working closely with an experienced Data Scientist, you’ll identify and solve a problem leveraging machine learning. This will involve communicating directly with business stakeholders, designing and building your solution on top of our Data Science Platform, and potentially even getting your model into production!

You might think, ‘Sounds good, but 80% of my job is going to be cleaning data.’ Not here. Our data is registered, logged, consistent, and immaculate. We’re a mature team with the infrastructure, tools, and expertise to get models into production.
