DevOps Engineering Intern

Who we are:

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Brickset is a managed services provider with 800 employees, supporting more than 1,500 client organizations across the US. Our dress code is a company polo and clean jeans.

The internship:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US.

What you'll do:

• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform.
• Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results.
• Containerise services with Docker and keep images small.
• Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause.
• Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch.
• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response.

Who can apply:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Some exposure to AWS, Azure or GCP through a free tier account or course.
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work.
• Careful with production systems. You must follow change procedures exactly.

Bonus points:

• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate.
• A home lab or personal project with a working CI/CD pipeline.

What you get out of it:

• Debugging failed deploys and reading logs under some time pressure.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform on live AWS accounts.
• How a real deployment pipeline, monitoring stack and on-call rotation fit together.
• Certificate, recommendation letter and a possible full-time offer.
