2027 Summer Technologists Interest

Keystone is a premier economics, technology, and strategy consulting firm built to help companies lead through transformation. As breakthrough innovations reshape industries, redefine competition and change our society, complex and highly competitive ecosystems emerge.

We operate globally from offices in New York City, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, London, Dubai, and Washington, D.C.

About the Role

As a Technologist Summer Associate, you will work alongside interdisciplinary Keystone teams tackling high-stakes litigation, regulatory, and strategic matters involving AI, data systems, digital risk, and emerging technologies.

With fluency in Python and deep comfort across data structures, software systems, and algorithmic thinking, you’ll transform ambiguous problems into clear, defensible insights that shape the outcomes of major cases and decisions.

• Contribute to the development of internal tools, libraries, and frameworks that enhance analytical consistency and scalability

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor's and/or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics or a related field
• Fluency in one or more other programming language in addition to Python
• Undergraduate level capability with data structures and algorithms
• A balance of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and entrepreneurial spirit suited to a fast-moving, global consulting environment
• Analytical skills with an ability to structure complex real-world problems
• Ability to manage multiple analytical workstreams and communicate complex findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
