Docker and Kubernetes Containerisation Intern

The containerisation backlog

Three of our services still deploy by copying a build folder onto a server and restarting a process manager. That is the backlog you are joining to clear. Across three months in Hyderabad you will containerise them properly, starting with the notifications worker and finishing with the resume parsing service.

What that involves

You will write multi stage Dockerfiles that keep the final image small, replace our ad hoc shell scripts with docker compose for local development, and get every engineer running the same Postgres and Redis versions. From there you will move the workloads onto a managed Kubernetes cluster: deployments, services, config maps, secrets pulled from a vault, liveness and readiness probes tuned to each service. You will also write the Helm chart that packages all of it, and you will be the one who explains it to the rest of the team in a walkthrough at the end.

Learning setup

This is an unpaid position and we are honest about what that means: you get a real cluster, a real mentor, weekly one to one reviews of your manifests, and work you can point at in an interview. Final year students and recent graduates are welcome, no prior industry experience expected.
