Observability Internship information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Observability Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Observability Intern, you generally need foundational knowledge in computer science, familiarity with monitoring concepts, and experience with programming or scripting languages. Exposure to observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or cloud monitoring platforms, along with coursework or certifications in DevOps or cloud technologies, is often beneficial. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication help interns collaborate with engineering teams and interpret complex data. These skills enable interns to contribute to system reliability by identifying, diagnosing, and resolving performance issues efficiently.

What is an Observability Internship?

An Observability Internship is a temporary, often entry-level position where students or recent graduates learn about and assist with monitoring, measuring, and analyzing the performance and reliability of software systems. Interns work with tools that provide visibility into applications, infrastructure, and services to help teams detect issues and improve system health. The role typically involves tasks such as setting up dashboards, analyzing logs and metrics, and helping to implement best practices for observability. This internship is valuable for those interested in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or software development roles.

What is the difference between Observability Internship vs Monitoring Internship?

AspectObservability InternshipMonitoring Internship
FocusBroad system insights, including logs, metrics, tracesReal-time system health and alerting
SkillsData analysis, debugging, understanding of distributed systemsAlert configuration, basic system metrics
Work EnvironmentDevOps, SRE teams, cloud environmentsOperations, system administration teams
CertificationsKnowledge of monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana), scriptingBasic monitoring tools, scripting skills

While both internships involve system health, an Observability Internship covers a broader set of tools and concepts like logs, traces, and metrics for comprehensive system understanding. Monitoring internships focus more on real-time alerts and system uptime. Understanding these differences helps candidates choose the right role aligned with their skills and career goals.

What types of projects and tools can I expect to work with during an Observability Internship?

As an Observability Intern, you'll often contribute to projects focused on monitoring, logging, and tracing the performance of software systems. You may work with popular tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), or OpenTelemetry to collect and visualize system metrics. Interns typically collaborate closely with site reliability engineers and software developers to identify bottlenecks, improve alerting, and ensure system reliability. This role provides hands-on experience with real-world infrastructure and fosters valuable problem-solving skills in a collaborative, technical environment.

Job description

ABOUT REPAY
REPAY ("Realtime Electronic Payments" / NASDAQ TICKER: RPAY) is an established and fast-growing publicly traded financial technology and payment processing company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with offices across the country. REPAY enables its customers to accept payments anytime, anywhere, and through any channel while providing a secure, seamless, and enjoyable payment experience for the end consumers. REPAY offers a comprehensive suite of electronic payment and funding solutions, including debit and credit card processing, ACH processing, Instant Funding, and electronic bill payment systems with full IVR, text, and mobile capabilities. The scalability of its products allows merchants of all sizes to add an instant arsenal of intelligent payment technology solutions to their businesses without significant development costs or infrastructure investments.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Infrastructure team builds and operates the cloud platform that engineering teams at REPAY ship on. We own the Kubernetes environments, AWS account structure, CI/CD paths, and the observability and TLS/edge tooling that keep production healthy. As an Associate Platform Engineer, you'll join as an early-career engineer and grow into an owner of these systems - starting with well-scoped work and paired mentorship, and taking on more surface area as you ramp.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes understanding how systems fit together, is comfortable in a terminal, and wants to learn cloud infrastructure and reliability engineering from a team that does it every day. As a fully remote role, it's a great fit for someone who communicates clearly in writing and can stay organized and self-directed.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Support and extend our Kubernetes platform - deployments, tooling, and the automation that watches over our clusters.
  • Help provision and manage AWS accounts and cloud resources using infrastructure-as-code.
  • Build and maintain observability - dashboards, alerts, and metrics in Splunk - so we catch problems before customers do.
  • Automate routine operational work, such as certificate renewals and edge/TLS configuration.
  • Pick up on-call and incident-response duties (with support) as you gain confidence and help write the runbooks that make the next incident easier.
  • Track and deliver your work through Jira and contribute to code reviews and team documentation.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

  • 0-2 years of experience in software, infrastructure, DevOps, or a related internship - or a strong CS/related degree with demonstrated hands-on projects.
  • Comfort with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).
  • Working familiarity with Linux and the command line.
  • Curiosity about cloud infrastructure and a genuine interest in how distributed systems run in production.
  • Clear written communication and a collaborative, ask-questions-early attitude - especially important on a distributed, remote team.

Preferred

  • Exposure to AWS or another cloud provider.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes or containers (Docker).
  • Any experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD, or monitoring tools.
  • A homelab, side project, or coursework you're proud of.
