DevOps Engineer Intern

Barleyhaven Data Systems is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. Dentists, insurance agents and law offices make up most of the client list. We started in 2003 and have grown to about 37 people.

Overview

Remote internship for a student who enjoys Linux, scripting and figuring out why a build broke. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Italy. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday.

What you'll do

Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause. Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform. Deploy and update apps on Kubernetes using Helm charts. Review cloud costs each month and point out unused resources. Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response. Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch. Write and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Patch and update Linux servers in staging before production changes.
