Data Scientist to Curate | Summer Internship 2021

Join us for the opportunity to become a key member in a cross-functional team, working on a central platform for automating and personalising frontpages across some of Scandinavia’s largest publications, during our unique 6-8 week paid summer internship.

You will be placed at the heart and center of our Media Platform, working with data that determines the content and optimizes the frontpages on news sites, with millions of daily users across both desktop and mobile devices.

Curate sets out to revolutionize how we distribute the right content to the right user at the right time. It’s as simple as that. In Curate you’ll be part of a highly dedicated and competent cross-functional team with everything it needs to realize its mission, including skills within engineering, UX, product management, data analysis and data science/machine learning.

The team has proved the founding bet: that an automated frontpage can perform better than a manually curated one, and we are now in the process of scaling and improving the offering.
