Intern - Windows Cloud & Systems Engineer (Summer) Must be an active student

This is a full-time, 12-week internship program starting July 1st, based in Brno. A cover letter is optional but encouraged – (I do read them.!)

Mission and Goals

Our goal is to provide platforms for the engineering teams enabling them to deploy, monitor and operate their software as independently as possible. We use Microsoft, VMware and Cloud technologies to provide the IT infrastructure and functionality we need.

At scale

The infrastructure we manage consists of several hundreds of servers and VMs located in both data centers and cloud regions around the world in different Active Directory domains. This helps to support backend applications providing services to more than 500 million client applications/devices. 

This would not be possible without automation and Infrastructure-as-a-Code mindset. Our main tools for this purpose are Powershell, SCCM, PowerCLI, Terraform and we try to use them wherever feasible.

The size of the infrastructure and the number of client devices bring many interesting challenges and issues, starting with collecting business and technical requirements for new projects and ending with tuning OS and seeking for potential improvements in automation processes.

We value openness, ability to express own opinion and a desire to improve yourself and the team.

What you’ll need to be successful in this role:

• Good working experience with Windows and VMware technology

• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, Azure)

• PowerShell scripting

• Desire to learn new technologies and to solve various technical challenges

• Positive working attitude, teamwork spirit and communication skills

• English written and spoken

It is a plus, if you know/have:

• General IT infrastructure knowledge (TCP/IP, networking, storage, MSSQL)

• Experience with Microsoft Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Windows & VMware server platform administration

• Experience with automation of virtual and cloud infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, GCP, AWS, Azure)

What we offer:

• An amazing and truly international work environment

• The chance to join a major global tech company

• Many opportunities for professional growth

• Benefit Plus Point Program (Cafeteria)
