VALSEA Hiring! DevOps Engineer (CI-CD) (Intern) in - Ricebowl

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
