Infrastructure & Automation

• Learn and apply Infrastructure as Code concepts using tools such as Bicep and Pulumi (small tasks, or guided contributions).

• Support improvements to internal automation tooling that helps engineers deploy, test, and operate Relativity services.

• Help simplify manual workflows by contributing to lightweight automation scripts (Python, Bash, Powershell).

CI/CD & Developer Experience

• Assist in updating or extending CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) under the guidance of senior engineers.

• Work on internal tools and services used by developers, gaining exposure to APIs, Python microservices (FastAPI), and automation patterns.

• Participate in small proof‑of‑concept tasks that explore new ways to improve developer effectiveness.

Cloud, Containers & Observability

• Get hands‑on exposure to Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern cloud‑native tooling.

• Learn the basics of monitoring & observability using Grafana, Prometheus, and logging/metrics pipelines.

• Support ongoing efforts to increase standardization and reliability across internal systems.

Team Collaboration & Agile Work

• Join a highly collaborative Scrum team.

• Participate in standups, planning, retros, and technical discussions.

• Work with engineers to debug issues, improve documentation, and contribute to internal knowledge bases.

Your Skills

• Current student pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field.

• Basic programming experience in Python, C#, or Java.

• Familiarity with Linux or macOS command‑line environments.

• Interest in DevOps engineering, cloud technologies, automation, and Infrastructure as Code.

• Curiosity, willingness to learn, and a desire to improve how engineering teams build and ship software.

• Comfortable working in an Agile development environment.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Prior exposure to Docker or Kubernetes (even via coursework or personal projects).

• Basic knowledge of CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).

• Experience writing small automation scripts (Python, PowerShell, Bash).

• Familiarity with Git and GitHub workflows.

• Interest in observability, dashboards, or metrics.

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world experience building automation and cloud‑based systems used across Relativity.

• Mentorship from DevOps and Platform engineers on designing scalable, reliable systems.

• Experience with IaC, CI/CD, cloud engineering, and developer productivity tooling.

• Insights into how large engineering organizations operate and reduce KTLO.

• Opportunities to contribute to meaningful internal engineering improvements.
