Infrastructure Placement Student

About Harrowbrook:

Dentists, insurance agents and law offices make up most of the client list. Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call. Founded in 1993, we now have 19 employees.

The internship:

Remote internship for a student who enjoys Linux, scripting and figuring out why a build broke. Remote, open to candidates across Ireland. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities:

• Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts.
• Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause.
• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response.
• Review cloud costs each month and point out unused resources.
• Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results.
• Patch and update Linux servers in staging before production changes.
• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform.
• Containerise services with Docker and keep images small.

What we're looking for:

• Based in Ireland for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Some exposure to AWS, Azure or GCP through a free tier account or course.
• Laptop with at least 8 GB RAM (16 GB preferred) and a reliable internet connection.
• Hands-on practice with Docker, even on personal projects.
• Comfortable with Linux: file permissions, processes, SSH and package management.

What you'll learn:

• Support towards an AWS certification, with the exam fee covered for strong interns.
• 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.
• Certificate, recommendation letter and a possible full-time offer.
