Platform Engineering Intern

Who we are:

Regulators examine us regularly, and risk, audit and compliance make up a large part of the staff. Digital adoption is high, and over 70 percent of transactions now happen on mobile. Banking holidays are paid days off.

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 within the US. The team meets in San Jose once a quarter, travel covered. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

• Write and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
• Shadow the on-call engineer during working hours to learn incident response.
• Document runbooks for common incidents in Confluence.
• Investigate failed builds and deployment issues and write a short note on the cause.
• Manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, RDS and IAM roles with Terraform.
• Patch and update Linux servers in staging before production changes.

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Careful with production systems. You must follow change procedures exactly.
• Hands-on practice with Docker, even on personal projects.
• Basic scripting in Bash or Python.

Bonus points:

• Experience with Terraform or Ansible.
• Exposure to Nginx configuration.
• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate.

What you get out of it:

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform on live AWS accounts.
• Certificate, recommendation letter and a possible full-time offer.
• How a real deployment pipeline, monitoring stack and on-call rotation fit together.
• Debugging failed deploys and reading logs under some time pressure.
