INTERNSHIP: Data Science (Python & ML)

We’re hiring a

Python‑first, statistics‑strong

Data Science Intern (or junior ML Engineer) to partner with our

Data Analysts

on the hardest problems we have:

probabilistic LTV ,

churn prediction , and

forecasting

that actually moves CAC, payback, and ROAS.

⚠️ READ THIS FIRST — Apply only if you meet this: Eligibility: You’re currently studying at a university in Spain (ideally in or near Barcelona) and can sign a "convenio de prácticas". This position is open exclusively for internship agreements. If you’re not sure whether your university can provide one,

please confirm with them before applying , as we’ll

automatically filter out candidates who can’t meet this requirement. Otherwise, feel free to check out our other

junior roles

on the Carrots Lab LinkedIn page › Jobs where a "convenio" isn’t required.

⭐ WHAT YOU’LL OWN (Your Mission) LTV Prediction & Probabilistic Forecasts Build, compare, and iterate LTV models (e.g., survival/retention‑based, zero‑inflated + Gamma, GBMs). Produce

calibrated

predictions we can trust for UA and pricing. Churn & Retention Modeling Predict churn windows and retention curves by app/geo/cohort to inform payback and creative/keyword strategy. Signal Engineering for UA Translate model outputs into

conversion signals

(e.g., value‑based bidding targets) that improve Google/Meta optimization. Revenue & Cohort Analytics (Python) Pull, transform, and join event & purchase data (RevenueCat, AppsFlyer, Firebase, BigQuery) into model‑ready datasets. Decision Science Evaluate A/B tests (frequentist or Bayesian), pricing experiments, and funnel changes with

confidence intervals

and

practical uplift .

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (90 Days) LTV v1 shipped

per flagship app with baseline vs. model comparison (e.g., MAE/RMSE or calibration plots) and a documented retrain cadence. Churn or retention model v1

that beats naive benchmarks (e.g., 30‑day retention mean) and informs UA payback assumptions. Signal spec

delivered: which in‑app events/values we should pass to ad platforms, how to weight them, expected CPA impact. Reproducible codebase : clean notebooks/scripts with README, functions, and basic tests; data pulls automated in Python. Live dashboards

(with Sergi): LTV/payback & cohort views wired to

Looker

for weekly decision‑making.

WHAT YOU’LL DO (Day‑to‑day) Write

Python

every day: data prep, feature engineering, modeling, evaluation, and reporting visuals. Query data from

BigQuery/RevenueCat/AppsFlyer/Firebase

via Python; assemble tidy training datasets. Train and compare models (e.g.,

linear/GLM ,

XGBoost/LightGBM/CatBoost ,

survival analysis ,

time‑series ). Calibrate predictions (Platt/Isotonic), monitor drift, and set up retraining logic. Package insights for

UA

and

Product : concise memos, charts, and

clear “so‑what”

recommendations. Pair with

Sergi

(analytics & viz) and the

CEO

(UA/product strategy); own the technical depth.

️ WHAT YOU MUST HAVE (Hard Requirements) Non‑negotiable. Please apply only if you meet all. Python : strong hands‑on with

pandas, NumPy, scikit‑learn, Jupyter . Statistics & ML : probability, hypothesis testing, regression, classification, evaluation & calibration. Project evidence : at least

one

end‑to‑end model you can show (repo/notebook; academic is fine if applied). Autonomy & speed : ability to self‑direct, research, and ship working code without step‑by‑step guidance. Communication : explain complex modeling choices in plain language, with actionable conclusions. Availability : full‑time in

Barcelona

(hybrid),

6+ months

commitment. Work authorization : able to work in Spain (student internship agreement or junior contract).

NICE‑TO‑HAVE (Great to see) Bayesian

modeling (PyMC/Stan),

survival analysis

(lifelines),

time‑series

(statsmodels). Gradient boosting

(XGBoost/LightGBM/CatBoost) and model calibration. Experience with

BigQuery

(via Python),

RevenueCat ,

AppsFlyer ,

Firebase ,

Amplitude . Basic

Git , packaging, and testing discipline. Prior exposure to

subscription

datasets (trials, renewals, cancellations, grace periods).

HOW WE WORK Stack : Python, BigQuery, Looker, RevenueCat, Firebase, AppsFlyer, Amplitude, Google Cloud. Cadence : weekly experiment reviews; model metrics > opinions; minimal meetings; fast iterations. Culture : high speed, high standards, zero drama. We spend every euro like it’s our own.

WHAT WE OFFER (Compensation & Benefits) We offer a high-impact, high-autonomy role with a reward structure aligned to the company's growth in Barcelona. Paid Internship:

This is a

remunerated full-time position

designed to give you real ownership and impact — not just “student tasks.” The compensation is

competitive for top data students or recent graduates

in Barcelona. Flexibility & Time Off:

Flexible working hours , 25 days annual leave, and

1 month of 'work from anywhere'

outside of Spain. Executive Workspace & Tech:

Private offices at

Norrsken House Barcelona

(with complimentary membership) and a generous

€5,000 EUR

budget for professional home-office equipment. Wellness:

Option to require a high-end Gym Membership at innerflow.es, including Spa Access in the same office building. Cantina : Delicious, healthy, and flexible

in-office catering

— meals starting at just €2–€3. Training:

Dedicated

Budget for an education program . Career Trajectory:

A

Tailored career plan

with performance reviews and salary calibrations every 6 months.

If you made it all the way down here… Stop looking for entry-level jobs where they’ll spend six months “onboarding” you to clean up spreadsheets. Come here and build real things from day one. Worst case? You’ll leave smarter.
