ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We’re seeking a highly motivated undergraduate Data Engineering & AI Enablement Intern to lead the migration and modernization of operational time-series data across our organization. You’ll work closely with our IT and Data teams to migrate data from our Canary Historian system into Azure Blob Storage, enabling a scalable, cost-efficient, and future-ready data platform.
In parallel, you will help design how this data is exposed to SB Energy’s internal AI chatbot, enabling users to query and retrieve time-series data through natural language. This role requires comfort working in ambiguous environments and the ability to translate open-ended problems into structured, scalable solutions.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will take ownership of a defined problem space—from data ingestion and transformation to enabling AI-driven access—while working with modern cloud and data technologies.
Responsibilities
- Analyze and understand time-series data stored in the Canary Historian system
- Design and implement components of a scalable data migration pipeline to Azure Blob Storage
- Transform and structure large datasets for efficient storage, query performance, and cost optimization
- Define data schemas, partitioning strategies, and storage formats (e.g., Parquet)
- Validate data integrity and ensure reliability throughout the migration process
- Contribute to building mechanisms for AI chatbot access (e.g., APIs, query layers, or retrieval pipelines)
- Collaborate with IT and Data Science teams to integrate data into downstream systems
- Evaluate trade-offs between different architectural approaches (performance, cost, scalability)
- Document technical designs, decisions, and best practices
- Present technical solutions and business impact to stakeholders
QUALIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
- Strong programming skills in Python (or similar language)
- Experience working with data (e.g., Pandas, SQL, or similar tools)
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design fundamentals
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Familiarity with data pipelines, ETL/ELT concepts, or distributed systems
- Experience working with large datasets or time-series data
- Exposure to APIs, backend systems, or data access layers
- Familiarity with AI/LLM applications or interest in AI-powered systems
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and in a team environment
LOCATION: Redwood City, CA. We have a hybrid office work set up.
Hourly pay: $25-$30 per hour
At SB Energy, the success of our projects is driven by a desire to see our projects benefit as many people as possible. We work to serve local communities through volunteering, fundraising, and much more. For example, we’re proud to support access and opportunity in engineering and clean energy through impactful mentorship programs and workforce training.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Data Engineering Intern
Verify your degree aligns with PERM requirements
PERM requires your educational background to match the job's stated minimum requirements exactly. A data engineering internship tied to a bachelor's or master's in computer science, information systems, or a related field strengthens your EB-2 or EB-3 eligibility case.
Check prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location before filing PERM. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up what data engineering intern positions command in the relevant metro area before negotiating.
Target employers already enrolled in E-Verify
Employers enrolled in E-Verify have demonstrated a baseline compliance infrastructure, which often correlates with willingness to sponsor green cards. Filtering your search to E-Verify-enrolled companies reduces the risk of pursuing sponsorship with an unprepared employer.
Search green card sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Data Engineering Intern roles by employers with active green card sponsorship history. This surfaces companies that have already navigated the PERM process, so you're not starting the conversation from scratch.
Clarify the EB category before signing an offer
Ask whether the employer intends to sponsor under EB-2 or EB-3 before accepting. If your degree is a U.S. equivalent bachelor's, EB-3 is most common for intern-track roles, but some employers file EB-2 if the position requires an advanced degree or specialized credentials.
Understand how your birth country affects your timeline
USCIS processes green cards by country of birth, not citizenship. Nationals of India and China face multi-year backlogs even at the EB-3 level. Confirm your priority date situation early so you and your employer can plan around realistic adjustment-of-status timelines.
Green Card Data Engineering Intern: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Data Engineering Intern role qualify for green card sponsorship?
Yes, provided the position meets DOL's definition of a specialty occupation and the employer can demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available through the PERM labor certification process. Internships tied to a structured degree pathway in computer science or data engineering are most likely to qualify, especially if the role requires specific technical skills tied to a relevant degree field.
How is the green card process different from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa with an annual lottery and a six-year base limit. The EB-2 and EB-3 green card process leads to permanent residency with no cap concerns at the petition stage for most nationalities. The tradeoff is time: PERM labor certification alone can take six to twelve months before the I-140 is even filed, making early employer alignment critical for intern-track candidates.
What does an employer actually have to do to sponsor a green card for this position?
The employer must conduct a DOL-supervised recruitment process to confirm no qualified U.S. worker is available, file a PERM application, obtain DOL certification, file an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS, and wait for a visa number to become available based on your priority date and country of birth. The entire process involves significant employer cost and compliance work, which is why many smaller companies decline to sponsor.
How can I find Data Engineering Intern jobs where employers are willing to sponsor a green card?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for employers with documented green card sponsorship history for data engineering roles. Filtering by sponsorship history rather than job title alone is the most efficient way to avoid applying to companies that haven't navigated PERM before. Employers already familiar with the process are far less likely to withdraw sponsorship mid-filing due to unexpected compliance costs.
Does the O*NET classification for data engineering affect my PERM eligibility?
O*NET occupation profiles inform how DOL classifies job duties and minimum education requirements during PERM review. If the duties listed in your job offer align with a data engineering or data pipeline O*NET code tied to a bachelor's degree requirement, your PERM application is on stronger footing. Mismatches between actual job duties and the stated O*NET classification are a common reason DOL issues audit requests.
