CI/CD, Testing & Observability

• Pipeline Automation: Write code and automated test cases, integrating them into continuous execution CI/CD pipelines.
• Observability Implementation: Integrate monitoring and observability concepts using OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Signoz, Prometheus, and Grafana.
• Debugging & Maintenance: Debug complex distributed systems and develop an understanding of software-hardware interactions under mentor guidance.

AI Integration & Innovation

• Agentic Frameworks: Leverage AI Agents and Co-pilots to automate internal workflows, testing, and UI/UX monitoring.
• Team Collaboration: Participate in architectural design discussions, conduct code reviews, and scale subcomponents over time.

Minimum Requirements

• Education: B.Tech or M.Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related major.
• Experience Level: 0 to 2 years of hands-on experience (academic projects, internships, co-ops, or full-time experience).
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in writing clean code in Python, Golang, Java, C, or C++.
• Core Concepts: Foundational understanding of Distributed Systems, Cloud Native Architecture, Microservices, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Tooling Exposure: Familiarity with virtual infrastructure (KVM, OpenStack, Kubernetes, VMware) and tools like Docker, Cassandra, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, or Grafana.

Preferred Qualifications

• AI/ML Exposure: Familiarity with AI Agentic frameworks (LangChain, FastAPI) or AIOps/MLOps platforms (SageMaker, Databricks, Vertex AI, Azure ML, MLflow).
• GitOps Tooling: Exposure to cloud-native GitOps technologies such as ArgoCD or Argo Workflows.
• Academic & Open Source Contributions: Publications, hackathon participation, open-source contributions, or involvement in organizations like IEEE.
