Automate deployments and testing with CI/CD (GitLab, Argo) and IaC (Terraform), ensuring repeatable, low-touch releases.
Participate in the full lifecycle of cloud services—from design docs and code reviews through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
Collaborate with other engineers to debug live issues and turn post-incident insights into durable code fixes.
Contribute to internal tooling and dashboards that help engineers visualize fleet health, utilization, and capacity trends.
Qualification
Required
Actively pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related quantitative field (e.g., Physics or Mathematics).

Proficiency in at least one programming language—preferably Python or Go.
Working knowledge of Linux, basic networking concepts, and Kubernetes container orchestration.
Preferred
A systematic, analytical problem‑solving approach paired with clear written and verbal communication skills and a strong sense of ownership.
