AWS Intern

Who we are:

Our practices cover strategy, operations, technology implementation, risk and human capital. We work with Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies and large health systems.

The internship:

Our Site Reliability team looks after AWS accounts, Kubernetes clusters and the build pipelines for 20 or so services. The intern will help with all of it under supervision. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.

• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform.
• Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results.
• Write and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
• Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts.
• Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch.
• Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause.

• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program.

What you'll learn:
