About LAKEORA

LAKEORA is a Riyadh-based data and AI advisory firm and a pure-play Databricks partner.

The company builds governed data platforms for Saudi enterprises, going deep on one platform with governance designed in from the start.

LAKEORA is early-stage, flat, and deliberately small; engineers work directly with customers and own the architecture they design.

About the Internship

Seeking a Databricks Engineer Intern for a 6-month program to get hands-on with real client data pipelines and Lakehouse architecture.

Interns work alongside client-facing engineers, contribute to actual pipeline builds, and see how a Databricks consulting engagement runs end to end.

The program invests in accelerating the Databricks learning path toward the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate certification by the end of the internship.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the development of data pipelines using Spark (PySpark and SQL) on Databricks.
  • Assist with implementing Lakehouse and Medallion architecture patterns under senior engineer guidance.
  • Help with data ingestion, transformation, and quality checks on client and internal projects.
  • Support testing, debugging, and documentation of pipeline code.
  • Participate in code reviews and learn version control (Git) and Agile delivery practices.
  • Assist in preparing materials for client demos and technical discovery sessions.
  • Follow a structured learning path covering Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Lakeflow Jobs.
  • Prepare for and sit the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam before the internship ends.
  • Take on small, well-scoped engineering tasks with increasing independence over the 6 months.

Qualifications

  • Required: Saudi National.
  • Required: Recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Data Engineering.
  • Required: Foundational knowledge of SQL and at least one programming language (Python preferred).
  • Required: Basic understanding of data concepts: databases, ETL/ELT, data structures.
  • Required: Strong curiosity and willingness to learn in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
  • Required: Good communication skills, comfortable asking questions and taking feedback.
  • Required: Fluency in Arabic and English.
  • Preferred: Coursework or personal projects involving Spark, Databricks, or cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
  • Preferred: Exposure to Git or other version control tools.

What You'll Gain

  • Hands-on experience on live client Databricks engagements.
  • A structured path to the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate certification, with LAKEORA covering the investment in learning.
  • Direct mentorship from senior engineers in a small, client-facing team.

Application Notes

  • The role is kept open on a rolling basis with applications reviewed continuously and no fixed deadline to apply.
  • LAKEORA is an equal opportunity employer and assesses every application on merit.
