DevOps Engineer Intern - Remote

Small accounting firms in Lazio use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. We started in 2013 and have grown to about 11 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

The internship

This is a hands-on infrastructure role. You will write Terraform, Dockerfiles and GitHub Actions workflows that go through review. Remote, open to candidates across Italy.

• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform
• Containerise services with Docker and keep images small
• Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts
• Write and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI

Who can apply

• Available for the full internship period
• Based in Italy for the duration of the internship
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work
• Understanding of networking concepts like DNS, load balancers, ports and subnets
• Comfortable with Linux: file permissions, processes, SSH and package management
• Laptop with at least 8 GB RAM (16 GB preferred) and a reliable internet connection

What you'll learn

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