About the job
SingleStore is hiring a Software Engineer (Cloud Foundations) intern to join the team remotely from India. This internship centers on building and supporting core product systems, with a strong focus on infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native technologies. Interns will work closely with experienced engineers, taking part in the full development cycle from design through deployment and observability.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to backend services using Go or Python by fixing bugs, writing tests, and adding small command-line interface features.
- Work with Kubernetes fundamentals: update manifests or Helm charts, use kubectl to inspect cluster state, and understand deployments, services, logs, and resource limits.
- Enhance Terraform modules or documentation, address configuration drift in development or staging, and add validation where needed.
- Simulate customer installation scenarios in sandbox environments to ensure reliability.
- Improve installation documentation, diagnostic scripts, and internal tools for managing customer clusters.
- Add observability features such as metrics, log fields, or trace spans, and update runbooks to reflect these changes.
- Participate in code reviews, collaborate with other engineers, and receive ongoing mentorship.
Stretch Projects
- Work on queue consumers with retry and idempotency logic.
- Develop admin tooling or make ingress-related improvements.
- Explore new technologies alongside senior engineers.
Internship Structure
- Begin with onboarding to get familiar with SingleStore systems and tools.
- Take ownership of a specific ticket or mini-project, culminating in a demo or résumé entry.
- No on-call or production pager duties are required for interns.
- Assignments are closely tied to product delivery within small, collaborative Platform and Infrastructure teams.
Tools and Technologies
- Kubernetes (Deployments, Services, kubectl, Helm)
- Go and Python for backend development
- Terraform for infrastructure-as-code
- CI/CD systems with built-in guardrails
This is a remote internship open to candidates based in India.
