Platform Engineering Intern

About us:

We operate two 24/7 network operations centres and a security operations centre, staffed in three shifts. After-hours on-call comes around every fourth week.

About the role:

This is a hands-on infrastructure role. You will write Terraform, Dockerfiles and GitHub Actions workflows that go through review. Remote within the UAE. The team meets in Dubai once a quarter, travel covered. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Day to day:

• Deploy and update apps on Kubernetes using Helm charts
• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response
• Containerise services with Docker and keep images small
• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform
• Patch and update Linux servers in staging before production changes

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in the UAE
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028
• 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

What you get out of it:

• 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
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform on live AWS accounts
• Certificate, recommendation letter and a possible full-time offer
