Linux Administration Intern

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software.

The internship

We are moving older services to containers and the intern will help with the migration and the documentation. Our headquarters is in London, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our London team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with UK business hours.

What you'll do

Review cloud costs each month and point out unused resources. Containerise services with Docker and keep images small. Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch. Rotate secrets in AWS Secrets Manager under supervision. Document runbooks for common incidents in Confluence. Automate routine tasks with Bash or Python scripts. Deploy and update apps on Kubernetes using Helm charts. Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results.
