  • Contribute small automations and scripts that reduce repetitive operational work and improve environment hygiene.
  • Support release and deployment reliability by validating changes, helping with rollback readiness, and improving change safety.
  • Participate in post-incident follow-up and help close corrective actions that prevent recurrence.

Qualifications
  • 1-3 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or software engineering internships / early-career roles.
  • Familiarity with Linux, HTTP, DNS, containers, Kubernetes, Git-based workflows, and scripting in Bash, Python, or similar languages.
  • Exposure to monitoring, logs, metrics, dashboards, and incident management practices.
  • Strong troubleshooting mindset, clear communication, and willingness to learn in a production-support environment.
