Platform Engineering Intern

About us

Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

The internship

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. Our headquarters is in Garland, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. Remote internship with a team based in Garland. The stipend is paid at the end of each month. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Day to day

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

What we're looking for

• Eligible to work in South Korea.
• Based in South Korea for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Comfortable with Linux: file permissions, processes, SSH and package management.
• Familiarity with Git and how CI pipelines work.
• Basic scripting in Bash or Python.
• Careful with production systems. You must follow change procedures exactly.
