About BMG Software:

The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS. We started in 2021 and have grown to about 70 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

Overview:

BMG Software is hiring a DevOps intern to help with CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure and monitoring. Remote within the US. The team meets in Aurora once a quarter, travel covered. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

Day to day:

• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response.
• Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause.
• Deploy and update apps on Kubernetes using Helm charts.
• Review cloud costs each month and point out unused resources.
• Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results.
• Document runbooks for common incidents in Confluence.
• Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch.

What we're looking for:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028.

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Basic scripting in Bash or Python.
• Hands-on practice with Docker, even on personal projects.
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work.
• Comfortable with Linux: file permissions, processes, SSH and package management.

Preferred:

• Kubernetes basics, such as pods, deployments and services.
• A home lab or personal project with a working CI/CD pipeline.
• Knowledge of monitoring tools like Grafana or Datadog.

What you'll learn:

• How a real deployment pipeline, monitoring stack and on-call rotation fit together.
• You will make infrastructure changes that go through review and reach production.
• Support towards an AWS certification, with the exam fee covered for strong interns.
• Certificate, recommendation letter and a possible full-time offer.
