Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Granularity is modernizing demand forecasting.
We work with retailers and direct-to-consumer brands to analyze consumer trends and inform demand forecasts.
The main deliverable for this project is the deployment of the Granularity Trends Platform B Series. The B series versions of the Trends Platform aggregates social data in data pipeline, performs ETL to transform and clean the data, generate insights and analysis, and serve it into a front-end web application for users.
Students are expected to support the end-to-end deployment of the initial minimal-viable product at Granularity over the course of 8 weeks.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
Tasks the student may be asked to complete:
- Asked to own the development of a front-end application microarchitecture service, or assist in the development of other services
- Assist in the production optimization of data pipelines
- Assist in the deployment of the web application, including using cloud infrastructure and docker containers
- Other related tasks in full-stack development

- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
The student will be asked to join regular team stand-ups as they are able to balance with current coursework and studies. There are daily stand-ups, to which the student will be an optional attendee as they work on the project. We expect the student to join 2 of these stand-ups every week.
Every week, the student will be provided with a 45-minute mentorship meeting and 1-1 with one of the CoFounders of the startup.
Pair programming will be used in the first 2 weeks to showcase current processes and provide examples of workflows.
Students will be asked to work in a CI/CD workflow, including regular code reviews and testing.
- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
Students should have familiarity with:
- Full stack development: this includes front-end (client-side) development and back-end (server-side) development practices
- Fluent in Python is required, as well as Javascript
- Familiarity in Java, HTML, CSS, SQL, Scala are all good to have
- Nice to have is knowledge of Spark and Big Data, including data engineering platforms such as Databricks or Snowflake
