Intern participating in low - level software development for Linux platforms at OPAL - RT Technologies. Working in a collaborative environment on driver projects and software integration.
About the role
- Software Engineer building and operating internal platform services at Docker. Focus on automation, reliability, and Kubernetes in a remote-first engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Build and operate internal platform services and APIs in Go, including provisioning, quotas and policies, cost insights, and platform workflows.
- Deliver golden paths for self-serve onboarding and day-2 operations, including access, deployment setup, observability defaults, and governance guardrails.
- Partner with teams to drive adoption through clear docs, examples, and measurable outcomes.
- Codify infrastructure with Terraform and GitOps practices, and contribute to platform tooling in Go.
- Define and improve SLOs, alerting, and operational readiness. Participate in incident response and preventive follow-ups.
- Help standardize safe delivery patterns, including testing gates, canaries, and rollback triggers, so deployments are routine and low-risk.
- Operate and scale multi-tenant EKS clusters and traffic and ingress systems to deliver secure, reliable routing.
- Evaluate and adopt improvements with a bias toward incremental rollout and measurable impact.
- Build and iterate on agentic workflows that reduce operational toil, including triage support, context gathering, safe runbook execution, and remediation suggestions.
- Integrate automation into delivery and operations in a way that is safe, observable, and auditable.
- You’ll join an on-call rotation after onboarding and shadowing, and participate in incident response during your shifts.
- We aim for sustainable on-call through good alerting, automation, and blameless postmortems focused on prevention.
Requirements
- 4+ years of backend software engineering experience building large-scale cloud or distributed systems
- Strong software development skills in Go or a similar language, including design, testing, debugging, and code review.
- Experience shipping and operating cloud services in production, often 3+ years. We hire for skill and impact, not years alone.
- Solid foundation in Linux, networking fundamentals, and cloud security.
- Experience building operational automation, including AI-assisted or agentic workflows, with an emphasis on safety, guardrails, and auditability.
- Clear written and verbal communication in a remote environment, including RFCs, incident writeups, and async collaboration.
