About trophi.ai
trophi.ai builds AI-powered performance coaching tools that help people improve their skills faster through data-driven feedback. We utilize gameplay/telemetry data to generate actionable insights, and we continually experiment with new approaches across multiple competitive games and simulation environments.

The Role
We’re looking for a Data Science Intern to join our team and help turn real-world data into models, metrics, and insights. You’ll work closely with our team on practical, end-to-end data science tasks, ranging from dataset preparation and analysis to model training, evaluation, and lightweight tooling that supports research and experimentation.

This role is a strong fit if you enjoy hands-on problem-solving, working with real data, and iterating to create ideas.

Key Responsibilities
●     Clean, prepare, and validate datasets from multiple sources (structured and semi-structured).

●     Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to identify patterns, anomalies, and opportunities for modeling.

●     Build and improve pipelines for data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model training.

●     Train and evaluate machine learning models; track performance using appropriate metrics and error analysis.

●     Document methods, assumptions, and results clearly so others can reproduce your work.

●     Collaborate with teammates to translate product questions into measurable data/ML tasks.

Qualifications Required
●     Currently enrolled full-time at Memorial University of Newfoundland in a graduate program such as Computer Science, Data Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Statistics, or a closely related field.

●     Proficiency in Python fundamentals and experience working with data tools such as pandas / NumPy.

●     Understanding of machine learning concepts and experience with ML Libraries such as Scikit-learn and/or PyTorch.

●     Comfort working with databases and writing SQL queries (joins, aggregations, filtering).

●     Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate and ask questions.

Nice To Have
●     Familiarity with reproducible workflows (Git, virtual environments, notebooks vs. modules).

●     Experience with cloud tools (e.g., AWS S3/EC2) or containerization (Docker).

●     Exposure to data visualization or dashboards.

What You’ll Gain
● Real-world experience shipping practical data science work in a startup environment.
● Ownership of meaningful pieces of an ML pipeline, from data to evaluation.
● A collaborative workspace where curiosity, initiative, and new ideas are welcomed.
