How you'd explain your job at a party

I work on the data platform that supports all SIDN’s key decision-making.

Your role

For your SIDN internship, you’ll be attached to the small but diverse Data Team. Using a recently migrated data platform, our 2 data engineers, BI specialist and product owner provide data-based support to the entire organisation. We work closely with Support, Marketing, the MT and R&D to provide intelligence, align definitions and share reporting capacity.

At the moment, we’re busy building up our bronze, silver and gold layers. That means lots of scope for you to learn and contribute, whether that’s by setting up SQL-based data models or building dashboards in PowerBI.

Helping the BI specialist to design dimensional tables for the gold layer

Liaising with R&D about data models and shared definitions

What you’ll learn

Advanced SQL techniques in a real-world production environment
How silver-layer datasets form the basis of reliable reports
Experience with Databricks, Jira and Agile working (stand-ups, reviews, retros)
Why accuracy and clear assumptions are crucial in dataset development

Internship Track 2: Data Analyst (Gold Layer & Reports)

Your role

Building gold-layer views and dashboards in PowerBI
Writing SQL queries to build the datasets needed for reports
Working with the BI specialist (and sometimes the data engineers) to translate business questions into clear reports
Talking to stakeholders in Support, Marketing, R&D and the MT to clarify their questions and make sure data is interpreted correctly
Contributing to actual reporting projects, e.g.: historical details of domains, registrants and transactions across the whole market, as fast and as up-to-date as possible
Market intelligence: performance, trends, benchmarking and prognoses for market segments, holdings and our customers

What you’ll learn

Practical experience of building impactful dashboards in PowerBI
How to link SQL queries to business-oriented reports
Experience with Databricks, Jira and Agile working

We are SIDN

The internet. The biggest and most successful global collaboration of all time. Once something new and spellbinding, it's now an integral part of everyday life for almost everyone in the Netherlands. As a result, many people take the internet for granted. But, for us, the wonder remains.

We are SIDN. We began as internet pioneers, and forged an identity as digital thinkers and doers, shaping the reality of today and tomorrow. We have a strong sense of shared responsibility for the internet in the Netherlands. A responsibility that we willingly accept. A responsibility that we work to fulfil, every hour of every day. We bring people together by operating a .nl domain that's secure and technically reliable. And, because the internet is a highly dynamic environment, we are constantly anticipating what's required and adapting our services to match.

In a world of opportunities and challenges, we're dedicated to enabling confidence online. We're a small organisation with big ambitions. Our highly motivated professionals are passionate about their work, and proud of the difference they make and the people they work with. Together, we're always reaching for the heights. How about you?

What you can expect

For us, it's all about balance. Balance between hard work and relaxation, between performance and reward, between your ambitions and ours, against the backdrop of an inspiring working environment. We utilise the latest technologies for easy collaboration, remotely, physically and in hybrid forms.
