Data Science Intern

The Data Science and Engineering team builds Asana’s core data pipelines and tools, and partners with teams throughout the company to drive key product and business decisions with metrics, experiments, and predictive models.

As a Data Scientist Intern at Asana, you’ll help us ask the right questions and answer them rigorously.
