The Role

We are looking for a Platform Engineering Intern to support our Platform Services organization, which includes cloud operations, networking, and core infrastructure services. This internship is designed for someone with a development background who wants hands-on exposure to how modern platforms are built, operated, and automated across hybrid and cloud environments.

The intern will work closely with senior engineers and leadership on real operational and engineering initiatives (not shadow work) and will gain experience across infrastructure, automation, and application-facing systems.

Key Responsibilities:

What You'll Work On

• Assist with cloud platform operations (primarily AWS/Azure), including resource provisioning, monitoring, and cost visibility
• Build and maintain internal tools, scripts, and utilities using Python or TypeScript to support platform workflows
• Contribute to automation efforts using tools like Terraform, and write supporting code in Python or TypeScript to extend infrastructure capabilities
• Help maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and infrastructure-as-code repositories
• Support networking and connectivity initiatives (VPC/VNet design, routing concepts, firewalls, VPNs, load balancing)
• Work alongside engineers to troubleshoot platform issues across cloud, network, and application layers, using logs, metrics, and custom debugging scripts
• Develop or improve lightweight APIs, CLIs, or dashboards that give the team better visibility into platform health
• Participate in documentation, diagrams, and operational runbooks to support platform reliability
• Gain exposure to security, identity, and governance controls within enterprise environments

What You'll Gain

• Real-world experience writing code that supports enterprise-scale platforms
• Mentorship from senior cloud, network, and platform engineers
• Practical development skills applied to infrastructure and automation challenges
• Exposure to how platform decisions support business outcomes
• A strong foundation for roles in cloud engineering, SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure development

Requirements:

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
• Proficiency in Python or TypeScript - you should be comfortable writing, debugging, and testing code in at least one of these languages
• Foundational understanding of cloud computing concepts and how applications run on infrastructure
• Familiarity with web technologies (REST APIs, basic frontend/backend concepts, HTTP)
• Experience with or willingness to learn version control using Git
• Curiosity about how systems work end-to-end - from user request to infrastructure response
• Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn in a production environment
• Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical team members

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Exposure to AWS or Azure services
• Experience with Terraform, Docker, or Kubernetes
• Basic understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, routing, firewalls)
• Familiarity with building or consuming REST APIs
• Experience with Node.js or common Python frameworks (Flask, FastAPI)
• Personal projects, labs, or GitHub repositories demonstrating hands-on learning
