Role
Who you are
- Currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Data Management, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field, with at least one quarter/semester remaining after the internship
- Expected conferral date between December 2026 and August 2027
- Foundational understanding of data quality, data modeling, or MDM concepts through coursework or project experience
- Comfortable working with SQL and exploring relational or CRM datasets
Desirable
- Familiarity with CRM data structures (Salesforce or similar) and common data quality challenges like duplicates, incomplete records, or inconsistent formatting
- Exposure to MDM concepts such as entity resolution, match/merge logic, or survivorship rules, even in an academic context
- Strong analytical thinking, able to investigate messy data, identify patterns, and form clear recommendations
- Excellent documentation skills, able to translate technical findings into clear, business-facing write-ups and process guides
- Collaborative and curious, comfortable asking questions and working within a structured mentorship model
What the job involves
- This is a remote summer internship for 12 consecutive weeks with start dates between May18 - June 15, 2026
- The Revenue Operations & Data Governance team is building a Master Data Management (MDM) foundation to establish a trusted, unified view of our customers and accounts
- As our MDM & Data Quality Intern, you will work directly alongside a Solution Architect to design and validate our MDM Proof of Concept, focused on a single, well-scoped entity domain (Accounts)
- Your work will lay the analytical and documentary groundwork that carries this initiative from exploration into a production-ready recommendation
- This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your findings and deliverables will directly shape GitHub's long-term data strategy
- Partner with the Solution Architect to audit and map Account data across source systems (CRM, billing, product), documenting field-level lineage, ownership, and quality gaps
- Support the design and testing of match/merge and survivorship rules for the Account entity, defining which source system wins for each attribute and why
- Assist in building and validating a sandbox POC Golden Record for the Account domain, including deduplication logic, confidence scoring, and a sample output dataset
- Measure and report on baseline data quality metrics, duplicate rates, completeness scores, and field-level accuracy, to establish a benchmark for MDM impact
- Document POC outcomes, key decisions, edge cases, and a clear handoff package to guide the production engineering team
- Develop a draft data stewardship process, including how records get flagged, reviewed, and approved, in collaboration with the Solution Architect and business stakeholders
Our take
GitHub was founded to make a developer’s job easier with open and asynchronous communication, distributed version control, and source code management with Git. In the first year alone, 100,000 users were pushing code on the site.
GitHub has quickly become the world’s most popular platform for developers to collaborate on open-source projects from anywhere. Nearly every major company including Facebook, Google, and Apple hosts open-source projects on GitHub.
Github's work culture reflects its global community, with employees collaborating remotely from all over the world. In 2018, Microsoft acquired the company as part of its broader strategy to enhance cloud computing services. Since then, GitHub has been dedicated to evolving its platform, consistently investing in ongoing development to better serve its users.
