Charts that people actually read
Most internal dashboards die of neglect because nobody can tell what they are for. Over two months you will build a small number of dashboards that survive. You will be in our Indiranagar office two days a week, sitting next to the design team rather than tucked away with engineering.
The brief
The first three weeks go into the founder dashboard: one screen, six numbers, no scrolling, refreshed every morning before 9am. After that you take the recruiter facing analytics page, currently four unlabelled bar charts, and redesign it so an employer can tell in ten seconds whether their posting is performing. You pick the palette, write the chart titles, and sit in on two user interviews where you will hear people misread your first draft.
What you bring
An opinion about axis labels. Enough SQL to pull your own data instead of queuing behind an analyst. Exposure to Metabase, Power BI, Tableau or even matplotlib is plenty. This internship is unpaid and short, so the scope stays realistic and the feedback stays frequent. Final year students and recent graduates are equally welcome.
Responsibilities
- Design and build a single screen founder dashboard that refreshes each morning
- Redesign the recruiter facing analytics page for clarity and speed of reading
- Choose a consistent chart palette and labelling convention for internal reporting
- Write your own SQL to source the data behind every visual
- Sit in on user interviews and revise dashboards based on what you observe
- Retire or merge dashboards nobody has opened in the last quarter
Requirements
- Final year student or recent graduate from any field with a visual and analytical bent
- Basic SQL, enough to write a select statement with joins and filters
- Some exposure to Metabase, Tableau, Power BI or matplotlib
- Coursework, a portfolio or a side project containing at least one chart you can defend
- Available for two days a week at our Bengaluru office
