Job Description

NOC Internship

Interns work under the close guidance of a dedicated mentor and manager, building foundational Linux, networking, and cloud skills through structured training, supervised troubleshooting, and real operational exposure — without solo incident ownership or on-call responsibility. High-performing interns may be considered for full-time roles at the end of the program.

Key Responsibilities

• Observe and assist in monitoring edge compute and Versa SD-WAN platforms, learning to recognize normal vs. abnormal system behavior.
• Shadow escalated incident response, learning triage and diagnostic approaches across Linux, virtualized, containerized, and cloud environments.
• Assist with guided troubleshooting exercises under the supervision of senior engineers.
• Learn to use observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Grafana, SolarWinds, DataMiner) and contribute to dashboard and alert review.
• Support documented, low-risk changes to compute nodes or edge services within formal change control processes.
• Participate as an observer in incident post-mortems and root cause analysis.
• Help identify recurring issues and contribute ideas for automation and process improvement.
• Assist in creating and maintaining operational documentation, troubleshooting guides, and SOPs/runbooks.

Required Skills & Experience

• Final-year Bachelor's student in Engineering or Technology from a recognized university, with a strong academic record and no active backlogs.
• Able to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your university confirming eligibility to participate in the program.
• Available to commit to a minimum six-month internship, up to 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday.
• Basic familiarity with Linux command-line operations (file navigation, logs, process management).
• Foundational understanding of networking concepts: IP addressing, DNS, DHCP, NAT, and the OSI/TCP-IP model, through coursework or self-study.
• Exposure to virtualization concepts (hypervisors, VMs vs. containers) through coursework or personal projects.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a proactive and curious approach to learning in a live operations environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Basic scripting exposure (Python or Bash) through coursework or personal projects.
• Personal or academic projects involving Docker, Kubernetes, or K3s.
• Familiarity with REST APIs and tools like Postman or CURL, from coursework or personal projects.
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code concepts (Ansible, Terraform) through coursework.
• Certifications in progress (e.g., CompTIA Network+, CCNA) or home-lab / networking-lab experience.
