Overview
Details
What we’re building at Continuity
We develop AI systems that help insurers better understand and manage risk, so they can offer coverage tailored to the businesses they protect. Our SaaS platform helps leading insurers make faster, more informed underwriting decisions using structured and unstructured data. With 75% of our team dedicated to R&D, we’re on a mission to transform the way insurance operates.
We recently raised a €10M Series A round to scale our impact across Europe. We’re kicking off a major transformation of one of our core product modules into a fully agentic system, and are working to evolve our data infrastructure to be more flexible and scalable in support of this shift.
Internship overview
Join our team to modernize a critical analytics infrastructure that processes millions of application events and operational data daily. You'll work on migrating legacy analytics pipelines to a modern, scalable architecture using cutting-edge tools, while preparing for integration with our existing orchestration framework.
This internship offers hands-on experience with real production data pipelines, modern data engineering practices, and the opportunity to significantly impact our analytics capabilities. You'll work closely with our data team to deliver measurable performance improvements and lay the groundwork for our next-generation analytics platform.
You will directly engage with cross-functional teams (product, operations, customer success, sales) to understand real-world data challenges, then architect solutions that power our AI-driven business decisions. You'll have significant input into technical tool selection and architecture decisions, making this a truly collaborative learning experience.
Main responsibilitiesCore projects
