DevOps Engineer Intern

About Lilacbench:

Across New York, the company runs 14 branch offices and a central depot for hardware staging and imaging. Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

About the role:

We are moving older services to containers and the intern will help with the migration and the documentation. Our headquarters is in New York City, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

What you'll do:

• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response.
• Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts.
• Write and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
• Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results.
• Document runbooks for common incidents in Confluence.
• Deploy and update apps on Kubernetes using Helm charts.
• Review cloud costs each month and point out unused resources.
• Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause.

What we're looking for:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Eligible to work in Sweden.
• Based in Sweden for the duration of the internship.
• Hands-on practice with Docker, even on personal projects.
• Some exposure to AWS, Azure or GCP through a free tier account or course.
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work.
• Available 30 to 40 hours a week.
• Understanding of networking concepts like DNS, load balancers, ports and subnets.

What you get out of it:

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform on live AWS accounts.
• Debugging failed deploys and reading logs under some time pressure.
• You will make infrastructure changes that go through review and reach production.
