• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) for testing and deployment
• Manage web server configurations, SSL certificates, and reverse proxies (such as Nginx)
• Automate repetitive operational and server maintenance tasks using Bash and Python scripts
• Set up system metrics, health checks, and log monitoring to detect downtime and bottlenecks early
• Enforce basic infrastructure security practices, firewall configurations (UFW), and SSH key management
• Share progress in a short daily check-in and participate in weekly infrastructure reviews

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Practical understanding of Linux fundamentals, shell navigation, and core CLI commands

Helpful but not required

• Experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, or Contabo VPS environments)
• Familiarity with process managers (PM2, systemd) and service monitoring tools
• Exposure to database administration (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis) or infrastructure as code
• Personal lab environments, homelabs, or GitHub repositories demonstrating CI/CD pipelines

Qualifications

• Final-year students and recent graduates from B.Tech, B.E., BCA, B.Sc (CS/IT), MCA, or related technical disciplines
• Self-taught engineers with hands-on lab or project experience in cloud, Linux, or DevOps tools
• Freshers seeking production-level deployment and infrastructure automation experience
• Candidates available to commit full-time for the duration of the internship

What you gain

• Hands-on experience architecting CI/CD pipelines and production Linux environments
• Direct mentoring and operational reviews from experienced DevOps engineers
• Production-grade automation scripts and deployment blueprints to showcase in interviews
• Internship completion certificate
• The freedom to work remotely from anywhere in India

Work schedule

• Full-time, Monday to Saturday or as assigned by your reporting manager.
• Duration: 1 to 3 months.
