Internship in Data Science

Intersec Description

Intersec is an international software publisher founded in Paris in 2004, offering GeoData solutions to operators and states.
We are 160 employees worldwide and we generate a turnover of €20M.

Everything started with the development of real-time analysis software for large volumes of data for the telecommunications sector, before distinguishing ourselves in the development of location technologies for operators. Our solutions were designed from A to Z relying on fast data and AI.

Today, our 100 clients in 80 countries trust us to access the location of nearly one billion human beings and connected objects. They need to combine processing speed and location precision, as well as a good understanding of their unique challenges.

Our industry-focused products transform GeoData into actionable information in the fields of public safety, contextual marketing, geolocated advertising, smart cities, and management of fleets of connected objects (IoT).
