Nium is the global infrastructure company powering real-time cross-border payments. Founded to deliver the payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today, we are building a programmable, borderless, and compliant money-movement layer that powers transactions between people, businesses, and intelligent systems — enabling banks, fintechs, payroll providers, travel platforms, marketplaces, and other global enterprises to move money instantly, anywhere in the world. 

Co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with offices in 14 markets and team members across 20+ countries, we take pride in a culture anchored in Keeping It Simple, Making It Better, and Winning Together. 2025 was the strongest year in our 10-year history, with record revenue, record transaction volumes, and EBITDA profitability — and we are now entering one of the most dynamic chapters in our journey. We believe the best work happens face-to-face, and we operate a hybrid model with three in-office days per week to strengthen collaboration, alignment, and innovation. 

We move over $50B annually across a network that spans 190+ countries, 100 currencies, and 100 real-time corridors. We power fast payouts to accounts, wallets, and cards; enable local collections in 35 markets; and support card issuance in 34 countries — all backed by licenses across 40+ markets. 

With over $300M raised to date, Nium offers ambitious builders the opportunity to shape the future of global money movement — at scale. 

At Nium, we move money across the globe, powering card issuance, payments, and financial infrastructure that businesses and people rely on every day. We're a fast-growing fintech operating at scale, and this summer, we're opening a seat on the team for someone curious, hungry to learn, and ready to see what real data engineering looks like from the inside. 
 
This isn't a "make the slides and watch from the sidelines" internship. You'll be embedded in our data engineering team, writing code that ships, and contributing to a product that real people use. 
 
As a Data Engineering Intern, you’ll work with our data engineering team to help build and maintain the systems that power our data platform. This internship is designed to give you hands-on experience with modern data technologies and real-world datasets. 
  • Supporting the development and maintenance of data pipelines and workflows. 
  • Assisting with ingesting and transforming data from multiple sources, such as MySQL databases and real-time Kafka streams. 
  • Writing and improving SQL queries used for analytics and reporting. 
  • Attending standups, sprint planning, code reviews — the full rhythm of a data engineering team  
  • Collaborating with experienced engineers to turn business needs into technical solutions. 
  • Asking questions, breaking things (safely), and learning how a fintech scales. 
  • You’ll gain exposure to modern data engineering tools and work closely with mentors who will help you grow your technical skills. 
  • You're studying Computer Science, Software Engineering, or something adjacent at University of Malta or MCAST. 
  • You're genuinely curious how real-world data systems are built — how data is collected, transformed and turned into something useful 
  • Good communication skills and ability to work in a team. 
  • Curiosity, a problem-solving mindset, and eagerness to take initiative. 
  • You can write some code (in any language - we care more about thinking than syntax) 
    • Please note that this summer internship is open to candidates who are currently pursuing their studies in Malta.
  • Interest in fintech, payments, or data-driven products. 
  • Foundational SQL knowledge and comfort writing queries. 
  • Basic Python skills or a strong willingness to develop them. 
  • No prior professional experience required, we value potential, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
