Infrastructure Placement Student

Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it.

The program:

Hawkford is hiring an Infrastructure Placement Student for Jun 2027. 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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Chandler team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

What you'll do:

• Patch and update Linux servers in staging before production changes
• 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
• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform
• Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts
• Write and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
• Review cloud costs each month and point out unused resources

Basic qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available for the full internship period
• Understanding of networking concepts like DNS, load balancers, ports and subnets
• Hands-on practice with Docker, even on personal projects
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work
• Laptop with at least 8 GB RAM (16 GB preferred) and a reliable internet connection
• Comfortable with Linux: file permissions, processes, SSH and package management
• Available 30 to 40 hours a week

Nice to have:

• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate
• Experience with Terraform or Ansible

What you get out of it:

• How a real deployment pipeline, monitoring stack and on-call rotation fit together
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform on live AWS accounts
• You will make infrastructure changes that go through review and reach production

Program dates: Jun 2027, 3 months.

Compensation: €1,400 - €1,950 monthly

Perks:

• Company laptop
• Internet allowance
• Online learning budget
• Possibility of a full-time offer

If you are shortlisted, we will reach out to set up a first call.

Duration: 3 months. Start: Jun 2027.
