Cloud Engineering Intern

Certifications include ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and we hold partner status with Microsoft, Cisco and VMware. Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Tickets live in ConnectWise and everyone logs time to the quarter hour.

The program
