Platform DevOps Engineer Intern

Platform (DevOps) Engineer Intern - Summer 2020

It’s official. “Cloud” is the buzzword of the decade. Being in the business of hosting, you could say that we are a little more than interested in cloud operations. Our platform’s success depends on our ability to simplify, adapt and scale. We would like to turn this into a structured and tested practice for others to benefit from as well.

We are looking for an individual who has an innate interest in driving cloud infrastructure development and enhancement - someone who is a theorizer, educator and implementer. You would be a leader of this effort and would have the opportunity to dabble in a bit of everything that we do in order to get started. You’ll be a great fit for this if you:

Are stimulated by complex problems
Are a self-starter and take initiative to navigate these complex problems
Have curiosity to learn different ways to approach an issue
Are interested in sharing and teaching others about your ideas
Thrive in a collaborative environment
Are able to synthesize and analyze new concepts quickly
Have the ability to work in a fast-paced environment, and
Have a good sense of humor and a positive, can-do attitude

What you can expect to be doing:
You will use your hands-on and growing knowledge of DevOps, software development, infrastructure automation, security best practices and effective integration methodologies to help us deliver product features quickly and reliably via our evolving PaaS and IaaS capabilities. You will focus on transitioning operations to become more automated, scalable and adaptable to a prospective customer’s needs.

To be considered for this position you must have:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Hands-on experience designing and deploying with cloud computing infrastructure
Passion for and proven success with infrastructure automation
Deep understanding and experience building large scale systems
Good presentation skills for a diverse audience
Innate interest in “the cloud” and its underlying technologies, architectural options and the competitive landscape
Familiarity with OpenStack, Mesos, Kubernetes
Familiarity and experience with Linux containers (specifically using either the Docker or Rocket container engines)
Proficiency with Linux OS

Ideally you will also be able to demonstrate:
Experience implementing PaaS and IaaS infrastructure
A working knowledge of C, C++, Golang
Familiarity or experience in the telephony industry
Familiarity with CentOS
Familiarity using SaltStack or other config management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet)
Experience with PCI and HIPPA compliance
