Cloud Engineer Placement (Remote)

About Fernhill Labs:

Since 2017, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the UAE. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The internship:

Our Infrastructure 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. Remote within the UAE. The team meets in Abu Dhabi once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Day to day:

• Document runbooks for common incidents in Confluence.
• Rotate secrets in AWS Secrets Manager under supervision.
• Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch.
• Containerise services with Docker and keep images small.
• Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts.

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in the UAE.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in the UAE for the duration of the internship.
• Careful with production systems. You must follow change procedures exactly.
• Comfortable with Linux: file permissions, processes, SSH and package management.
• Hands-on practice with Docker, even on personal projects.
• Laptop with at least 8 GB RAM (16 GB preferred) and a reliable internet connection.
• Understanding of networking concepts like DNS, load balancers, ports and subnets.
• Basic scripting in Bash or Python.

Preferred:

• Knowledge of monitoring tools like Grafana or Datadog.
• A home lab or personal project with a working CI/CD pipeline.

What you'll learn:

• How a real deployment pipeline, monitoring stack and on-call rotation fit together.
