Platform Engineering Intern

Who we are:

No call center and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up. Every tech does a bit of everything, from printer jams to firewall rules. Our dress code is a company polo and clean jeans.

Overview:

Our Site Reliability 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. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

Responsibilities:

• Containerise services with Docker and keep images small
• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response
• Rotate secrets in AWS Secrets Manager under supervision
• Test backup and restore steps for databases and record the results
• Deploy and update apps on Kubernetes using Helm charts

What we're looking for:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply

• Laptop with at least 8 GB RAM (16 GB preferred) and a reliable internet connection
• Basic scripting in Bash or Python

What you get out of it:
