About the Role

Atari is seeking a detail-oriented Records Digitization Intern to help review approximately 3,000 boxes of records and organize them into digital files and an optimized physical collection of approximately 100 boxes. Working on-site in Boulder, you will classify records—primarily from Finance, Marketing and Legal—photograph boxes and contents, scan documents into structured PDFs, and prepare eligible materials for secure destruction. This hands-on role is ideal for a dependable student who can work carefully with confidential information, follow established procedures, and use sound judgment when escalating unclear records.

 

What you’ll do

• Open and review boxes of paper records using established project guidelines.
• Use company-provided equipment to photograph each box and its contents, creating a visual record of the materials reviewed.
• Identify the department associated with each record, primarily Finance, Marketing or Legal.
• Sort records into the appropriate workflow: physical retention, scanning and retention, scanning followed by secure destruction, or secure destruction without scanning, subject to required review and approval.
• Use dedicated computers and scanners to digitize records accurately and efficiently.
• Organize scanned documents into correctly structured PDFs and apply consistent file-naming, filing and indexing conventions.
• Confirm that digital files are complete, legible, correctly ordered and associated with the right department and source box.
• Log relevant information accurately in spreadsheets, tracking tools or other project systems.
• Perform basic quality checks on scanned documents and correct or escalate issues.
• Identify duplicate, incomplete, unclear or potentially important records and refer them to the project lead.
• Maintain accurate status updates so the team can track what has been reviewed, scanned, retained or approved for destruction.
• Help consolidate approximately 3,000 boxes into an organized collection of approximately 100 boxes, while preserving required information in digital or physical form.
• Prepare eligible records for secure shredding after all required review and approval steps are complete.
• Follow records-handling, confidentiality, information-security, workplace-safety and secure-destruction procedures.
• Help identify practical ways to improve the review, scanning, tracking and quality-control workflow.

 

What we’re looking for

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in any field.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accuracy during repetitive, document-focused work.
• Dependable attendance and reliable follow-through on assigned work.
• Ability to work independently while asking questions when records or instructions are unclear.
• Basic comfort using computers, scanners, spreadsheets and digital file systems.
• Ability to organize scanned documents into correctly structured PDFs and maintain consistent digital filing conventions.
• Ability to identify the likely department associated with a record based on its content, using project guidelines and escalation procedures when uncertain.
• Respect for confidential information and care when handling company records.
• Willingness to learn and consistently follow written procedures.
• Ability to communicate clearly with the project lead and escalate exceptions promptly.

 

Students from all majors and class years are encouraged to apply. Relevant interests may include operations, information management, legal operations, business, library science, archives, technology, administrative project work or video games, but no specific academic background is required.

Experience with data entry, scanning, filing, archiving, spreadsheets or large-volume administrative projects is helpful but not required.

 

Schedule and compensation

This is a part-time internship during one academic semester, approximately 15–20 hours per week, Monday through Friday during normal business hours and coordinated around the student’s class schedule. The initial appointment may be extended based on project needs, performance and mutual agreement.

The anticipated hourly rate is: $22/hr. depending on qualifications and experience. This is a paid, non-exempt internship. Eligible employees receive applicable benefits and paid leave in accordance with company policy and Colorado law.

 

Confidentiality, work environment and application

This role involves confidential or sensitive company records. Interns will not make independent legal, retention or destruction determinations. Records that are unclear, potentially subject to a legal hold, potentially relevant to litigation, incomplete, privileged or otherwise sensitive must be escalated before scanning, reclassification or destruction. Final destruction approval will be provided by authorized Atari personnel. Project photographs must be taken only with company-provided equipment and stored in the designated project system.

The role is fully on-site in Boulder and may involve prolonged sitting or standing, bending, reaching, repetitive hand movements, and extended work with paper files and scanning equipment. Reasonable accommodations are available for qualified individuals.

All majors and class years are welcome. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Atari is unable to provide employment-based sponsorship for this internship. Internship credit is not required.
