Our Platform 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, open to candidates across the US. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

• Understanding of networking concepts like DNS, load balancers, ports and subnets
• Careful with production systems. You must follow change procedures exactly
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work
