Platform Engineering Intern

Who we are

Every tech does a bit of everything, from printer jams to firewall rules. Masonhook Networks is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. We started in 2020 and have grown to about 27 people. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

About the role

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them.

• Set up dashboards and alerts in Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch.

• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform.
