What We Do:
DataArt is a global technology consultancy that designs, develops, and supports custom software solutions for clients across a variety of industries (healthcare, finance, travel, insurance, media etc.). We work on a range of projects from creating new software products to modernizing complex legacy systems for large enterprises. DSA specializes in reducing risk and maximizing the value of these projects. Consultants in the group come from a diverse array of backgrounds and work closely with clients to understand their business and customers, identify the right problems to solve, and align on clear objectives to design software-based solutions and plan for strategic product implementation.
What We’re Looking For:
DSA is currently in an exciting phase in our commercial expansion: we are growing year-over-year in both the scope of accounts and number of clients. To support this rapid growth, we are expanding our summer internship program.
Summer interns work at the intersection of business, design, and technology. Given the multifaceted nature of this role, we are seeking individuals who excel at context-switching between various responsibilities, projects, and ways of thinking.
