DevOps Engineer (CI/CD) (Intern)

VALSEA · Remote · Full-time

About the Role We’re looking for a DevOps Engineering Intern who wants to improve how systems are built, tested, and shipped—not just maintain pipelines. You’ll work on CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, release automation, and developer tooling in a fast-moving environment where systems and workflows evolve constantly. This means building reliable pipelines, improving deployment safety, and enabling engineers to move faster without breaking things. You’ll collaborate closely with founders and engineers to shape how software is delivered in production. Your work will directly impact developer velocity, system reliability, and release confidence. If you enjoy automating workflows, fixing bottlenecks, and improving how teams ship software, this role will push you to grow quickly. What You Will Do Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI) Manage build, test, and release workflows across services Work with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform or Pulumi) Improve Docker-based build and deployment processes Implement safe rollout strategies (canary, blue-green, feature flags) Integrate quality, security, and observability checks into pipelines Build internal tools to improve developer productivity Document pipelines, environments, and operational runbooks What We’re Looking For Familiarity with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI Basic understanding of Docker and container workflows Exposure to infrastructure-as-code concepts (Terraform or Pulumi) Understanding of Git workflows and release practices Interest in improving developer experience and automation Ability to operate in fast-changing, ambiguous environments Founding Mindset You think in terms of user-perceived reliability, not just dashboards You ask “what does good reliability look like?” before adding metrics You take ownership of uptime and graceful degradation You balance speed of change with system stability You proactively identify reliability gaps before they cause incidents Bonus Experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry Exposure to incident management or on-call workflows Experience with resilience testing or chaos engineering Familiarity with tracing and structured logging What Success Looks Like Within 4–6 weeks, you should be able to: Own monitoring and alerting for a subset of services Reduce noisy alerts and improve signal quality Contribute to incident retrospectives with actionable insights Improve reliability, visibility, or response time in a measurable way What You’ll Get Hands-on experience building reliability practices from the ground up Direct collaboration with founders and core engineering teams Real ownership beyond a typical SRE internship A portfolio of dashboards, runbooks, and system improvements A strong pathway into SRE, platform, or production engineering roles Who This Is Not For If you want predictable systems with no incidents to handle If you avoid ambiguity or cross-team problem solving If you prefer rigid, siloed environments with predefined processes Who Will Thrive Here Builders who want to actively own system reliability Engineers who think in terms of end-to-end systems Calm debuggers of intermittent and complex failures High-agency individuals who care about keeping systems running reliably About the Company We’re building the speech intelligence layer for Southeast Asia—turning real-world, accented, code-switched speech into structured, usable outputs for businesses.
