We are looking for a Front End Data & Analytics Intern to help design, build, and maintain Power BI reporting experiences that improve visibility and decision-making across the business.
This role focuses on developing Power BI reports and dashboards, partnering with stakeholders to clarify requirements, and leveraging governed datasets and semantic models to deliver accurate, consistent metrics.
You will also help strengthen report documentation and release practices (release notes, change logs, and usage guidance) so business users understand what changed, why it changed, and how to use the reporting effectively.
Reliable definitions and a consistent user experience are critical to how the business operates and makes decisions. This role directly contributes to improving trust and adoption of our analytics products.
Power BI Report Development (Core Focus)
- Build and enhance Power BI reports and dashboards, focusing on usability, clarity, and performance
- Translate business questions into effective visuals, drill paths, filters, and navigation patterns
- Use and validate governed datasets and semantic models to ensure consistent definitions and metrics
- Apply basic report UX practices (layout, labeling, tooltips, accessibility) to improve adoption
Datasets & Semantic Models Support
- Partner with the data team to understand available datasets/semantic models and how measures are defined
- Perform front-end data validation (reconciling visuals to source queries, sanity checks, filter behavior)
- Assist with defining and maintaining report-level standards (naming conventions, certified content, metric definitions)
- Create and maintain documentation that ties reports to datasets, measures, and business definitions
Documentation, Releases & Continuous Improvement
- Write and maintain report documentation (purpose, audience, definitions, refresh cadence, known limitations)
- Produce release notes/change logs for report updates (what changed, why, impact, and validation steps)
- Support stakeholder feedback cycles by tracking issues/enhancements and helping prioritize iterations
- Identify opportunities to standardize visuals/pages across reports to reduce rework and improve consistency
What Success Looks Like
By the end of the internship, you will have:
- Delivered Power BI reports/dashboards that answer real business questions and are actively used by stakeholders
- Improved consistency and trust by aligning reporting to governed datasets/semantic models and documented metric definitions
- Implemented a lightweight documentation and release notes process that makes reporting changes easy to understand
- Completed validation/QA routines that reduce reporting defects and rework
Qualifications
Required
- Currently pursuing a degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, or related field
- Experience with Power BI (building reports, working with visuals, filters, and interactions)
- Working knowledge of data concepts (tables, relationships, measures) and ability to validate results against source data
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to document work clearly
Preferred
- DAX fundamentals (basic measures, time intelligence) and/or Power Query (data shaping)
- Experience working with shared datasets/semantic models, certified content, or governance practices
- SQL experience for validating logic and troubleshooting data issues
- Familiarity with documentation standards, release notes, and change management for analytics products
How We Work
- You will be given real reporting problems, not step-by-step instructions
- You will be expected to take ownership of specific deliverables (pages, reports, documentation) and ship usable outcomes
- Much of the work involves clarifying requirements, iterating on feedback, and validating that numbers match expectations
- You should be comfortable working with ambiguity and asking the right questions to move work forward
This role is focused on building and improving reporting experiences in Power BI. A significant portion of the work involves:
- Turning stakeholder questions into clear visuals and usable report workflows
- Reconciling and validating metrics against source data and documented definitions
- Maintaining documentation and release notes so changes are transparent and repeatable
- If you enjoy combining analytical thinking with good design and communication, you'll do well here.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Front End Developer
Align your portfolio to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Front End Developer roles must demonstrate a direct connection between your degree field and your day-to-day work. Frame your portfolio projects around the specific technologies listed in your training plan, not just general web development output.
Distinguish Intern from Trainee before applying
If you're currently enrolled in a degree program, you qualify under the Intern category. If you graduated within the past 12 months, you fall under Trainee. Applying to host employers under the wrong category delays DS-2019 issuance and can void your placement.
Target host employers with established training plan templates
Employers who have hosted J-1 exchange visitors before already have DS-7002 training plan templates on file. Asking recruiters directly whether they've worked with a designated sponsor organization cuts weeks off the offer-to-DS-2019 timeline.
Search Migrate Mate to find J-1-aligned Front End Developer roles
Use Migrate Mate to filter U.S. Front End Developer positions by employers familiar with exchange visitor sponsorship. Targeting roles already tagged for J-1 compatibility avoids pitching sponsorship from scratch to unprepared hiring teams.
Verify prevailing wage compliance before signing an offer
Your host employer must pay the J-1 prevailing wage for your role and location. Run your job title and ZIP code through the OFLC Wage Search before accepting any offer to confirm the listed salary meets the minimum threshold.
Clarify the two-year home residency requirement early
Front End Developers from countries with skills-shortage designations may face the two-year home residency requirement after their J-1 ends. Check your DS-2019 and country of citizenship before the offer stage, since this affects any future H-1B or green card plans.

Find Front End Developer JobsFront End Developer J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to Front End Developer roles?
The correct category depends on your career stage. If you're currently enrolled in a university degree program, the Intern category applies and allows placements of up to 12 months. If you've graduated within the past 12 months and are building professional skills, the Trainee category applies and allows up to 18 months. Both require a structured training plan tied directly to your field of study.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for a Front End Developer position?
The J-1 visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as IIE, CIEE, Cultural Vistas, or AIPT, not your employer. Your employer is the host organization. The designated sponsor issues your DS-2019, reviews your training plan, and monitors compliance throughout your exchange. The employer funds your placement and supervises your work, but has no authority to issue visa documents independently.
Does my computer science or web development degree need to match my Front End Developer role exactly?
Yes. The J-1 Intern and Trainee categories require a demonstrable connection between your academic background and the work described in your DS-7002 training plan. A degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a related field will satisfy this requirement. A degree in an unrelated discipline, even with self-taught coding skills, will typically not meet the designated sponsor's eligibility criteria for a Front End Developer placement.
How do I find Front End Developer host employers open to J-1 sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search for Front End Developer roles with employers already familiar with the exchange visitor process. Many companies have hosted J-1 exchange visitors before but don't advertise it prominently in job postings. Filtering for J-1-compatible roles on Migrate Mate avoids the time cost of educating unprepared employers about the DS-2019 and training plan requirements from scratch.
Can a J-1 Front End Developer role lead to an H-1B after the exchange ends?
It can, but the two-year home residency requirement may apply first. If your home country appears on the State Department's skills list, or if your J-1 was government-funded, you may be required to return home for two years before applying for H-1B status. A waiver exists but is not guaranteed. Confirm your residency requirement status with your designated sponsor before accepting any J-1 placement if an H-1B transition is part of your long-term plan.
