What this role pays, in context

This listing does not state its pay. DevOps Engineer roles in India currently advertise a median of ₹6.2L a year.

Median of 18 other live DevOps Engineer listings in India on this board that state pay. Roles that do not disclose a salary are excluded rather than counted as zero.

Every pull request here fires off roughly forty minutes of CI, and shrinking that number is the problem you are joining to attack. This three month internship is fully remote within India and sits with the developer experience group.

Your first month

You will map where the time actually goes across our GitHub Actions workflows, then start cutting: dependency caching, matrix jobs that run in parallel instead of series, and container layers that stop rebuilding for a one line README change. Expect to read a great deal of YAML and even more log output.

After that

You will build reusable composite actions so twenty repositories stop copy pasting the same lint and test blocks. You will configure required status checks, set up automated release tagging, and write the runbook explaining what to do when a workflow starts failing at 2am for reasons nobody understands yet.

What you bring

Comfort with Git beyond commit and push, some scripting in Bash or Python, and enough Docker knowledge to explain what a layer is. You should be finishing a degree or fresh out of one. Nobody here expects a job history.

We run weekly video pairing, review everything you write, and end with a demo where you present the before and after numbers to the engineering team.

Responsibilities

  • Profile existing GitHub Actions workflows and report where build minutes are being lost
  • Introduce dependency and Docker layer caching across the highest traffic repositories
  • Convert long sequential jobs into parallel matrix builds where it is safe to do so
  • Build reusable composite actions so lint and test steps stop being copy pasted
  • Configure required status checks and automated release tagging on merge to main
  • Write a troubleshooting runbook covering the most common pipeline failures

Requirements

  • Currently in the final year of a degree or graduated within the last year
  • Comfortable with Git beyond commit and push, including branches and rebases
  • Can write a working script in Bash or Python without hand holding
  • Understands what a Docker image layer is and why caching one matters
  • Reliable internet connection for daily remote collaboration

Skills

Benefits

  • Paid monthly stipend with no deductions
  • Fully remote with genuinely flexible working hours
  • Weekly pairing sessions with the developer experience team
  • Internship certificate plus a personalised reference letter
  • Present your results to the entire engineering team at the end
