Data Science Intern

About the team

Zillow's Data Science and Analytics organization turns complex data into insights that inform decisions across the company. As an intern, you'll explore how data can help us understand customer behavior, measure outcomes, and improve the customer experience. You'll work alongside data scientists and cross-functional partners, building your analytical skills while bringing a fresh perspective to real business questions.

Interns may focus on areas such as:

• Business: build reporting, models, and insights that help specific Zillow organizations assess current initiatives and find opportunities to innovate.
• Marketing: develop experimentation-first strategies for consumer and business marketing, and measure how each channel performs.
• Product: analyze how people use our web and app products so we can deliver a better experience for everything home.
• Pricing: help develop pricing strategies that deliver strong value for customers such as Premier Agents, lenders, and landlords.
• Tools: turn the large volume of data Zillow collects every day into data products that help partners make informed decisions.

About the role

At Zillow, interns do meaningful work that contributes to the business from day one. As a Data Science Intern, you'll apply the quantitative and programming skills you're building in school to a scoped, real-world project. With guidance from your manager and team, you'll work through the analytical process, from defining a question and preparing data to interpreting results and sharing recommendations.

The nine-week summer internship program runs June 14 through August 13, 2027. It gives students the chance to bring their ideas to real projects alongside Zillow teams. Interns build hands-on experience, connect with mentors and leaders, and take part in learning and community experiences with their intern cohort.

Our 2027 internships are based in Seattle and follow a hybrid schedule, with interns generally working together in person Tuesday through Thursday. Eligible interns will receive a stipend to help offset summer housing and relocation costs.

During your internship, you will have opportunities to:

• Partner with your manager and stakeholders to turn an open-ended business question into an analytical plan with clear goals and deliverables.
• Use SQL and Python or R to explore, prepare, and validate data, documenting assumptions and flagging data-quality issues.
• Analyze patterns in customer behavior or business performance to uncover insights and potential opportunities.
• Apply statistical methods such as regression, hypothesis testing, or experiment analysis (including A/B tests and pilots), as fits your project.
• Help define and interpret metrics that connect your analysis to customer and business outcomes, and support ongoing performance tracking.
• Create clear visualizations and reproducible analyses that make your findings useful to others.
• Work with engineers, product managers, marketers, and other teammates to build a shared approach to analyzing and communicating insights.
• Communicate your approach, results, recommendations, and limitations to technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Document your work and deliver a final presentation and handoff so the team can build on your findings.
