• Collaboration: Work with software developers to troubleshoot deployment issues and ensure their applications run efficiently in the cloud.
• Security: Assist in implementing security best practices (IAM roles, security groups) to protect our customer data.

Requirements

• Education: A Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field is required.
• Cloud Fundamentals: basic theoretical understanding of Cloud Computing concepts (virtualization, networking, storage, load balancing). Specific knowledge of AWS is highly preferred.
• Operating Systems: Comfortable working in a Linux environment (command line navigation, file permissions, basic bash scripting).
• Programming: Proficiency in at least one scripting language.
• Containerization: Basic understanding of Docker and how containers work.
• Soft Skills: A strong desire to learn, good problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly.

Nice-to-Have (Bonus Points)

• Previous internship experience in a DevOps, SRE, or Software Engineering role.
• Exposure to container orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with Version Control Systems (Git).
• Certification in AWS (e.g., AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner).
