Quest Analytics Internship Program - Summer 2027 in Kansas City

Internship Opportunities:

We're looking for talented and curious students to join our Summer 2027 Technology Internship Program across three areas:

Software Engineering – Contribute to the full software development lifecycle by helping plan, design, develop, test, and deploy features and applications that support our healthcare technology solutions. Work alongside experienced engineers to write quality code, troubleshoot issues, and improve existing products and functionality. Gain hands-on experience using modern AI-assisted development tools, including Claude Code, to support coding, debugging, testing, documentation, and development workflows. 

Data Engineering – Help build, maintain, and improve the data infrastructure that powers our products and analytics solutions. Work with large, complex datasets to support daily data operations, develop and optimize data ingestion pipelines, automate data processes, and monitor and troubleshoot data workflows to ensure reliable, high-quality data. Explore opportunities to use AI-assisted tools, including Claude Code, to accelerate development, automate workflows, and improve engineering efficiency. 

Data Science – Apply statistics, machine learning, and AI to explore complex healthcare data and solve real-world business problems. Support data exploration, model development and evaluation, experimentation, and the communication of analytical findings. Work with emerging technologies, including generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, to explore new approaches to analytics and problem solving. 

Interns will be aligned to a team and project based on their skills, interests, academic background, and business needs.

AI & Emerging Technology

We're looking for students who are already experimenting with AI, not just learning about it in the classroom. Strong candidates will have hands-on experience using generative AI and AI-assisted development tools through coursework, personal projects, research, internships, hackathons, or other practical applications.

Experience may include tools and technologies such as Claude, Claude Code, LLMs, prompt engineering, AI-assisted coding, RAG, embeddings, vector search, AI agents, or other applied AI/ML technologies.

We're especially interested in students who can demonstrate how they've used AI to build something, solve a problem, automate a process, analyze data, or improve the way they work—and who are curious about continuing to experiment with emerging technology.
