Build the Platform. Power the Products.

At Showpad, we don’t just run infrastructure; we engineer the foundation that enables teams to ship safely, reliably, and at scale.

We’re looking for a Cloud Platform Engineer Intern to join our Platform Engineering team and help evolve the cloud systems that power our applications and data workloads.

This isn’t a “support ops” internship. You’ll work on real production infrastructure, automation, and reliability engineering — the invisible layer that makes everything else possible.

The Mission

As a Cloud Platform Engineer Intern, you’ll operate at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and reliability.

You won’t just observe how systems run — you’ll help build and improve them.

  • Engineer for Scale: Work hands-on with AWS (EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch) to understand how modern cloud architectures are designed and operated.
  • Automate Everything: Contribute to Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK. If it can be automated, we automate it.
  • Design for Reliability: Help improve monitoring, alerting, and logging. Learn how production-grade observability prevents incidents before users feel them.
  • Own Real Work: Take responsibility for clearly scoped platform improvements — from design to deployment.
  • Think Like an SRE: Participate in incident investigations and root cause analysis. Learn how resilient systems are built and maintained.
Next-Gen Engineering Environment

We believe in developer velocity and modern engineering practices.

  • AI-Augmented Development: Use AI-powered tools to accelerate onboarding, understand complex systems faster, and write higher-quality automation code.
  • Code Reviews that Teach: Experience structured, high-signal code reviews designed to level up your engineering judgment — not just fix syntax.
  • Production Mindset: Work in a real CI/CD environment with automated deployments, testing, and infrastructure pipelines.
What We’re Looking For

We value systems thinking over tool memorization.

  • Engineering Mindset: You’re curious about how distributed systems work under the hood.
  • Programming Fundamentals: You’re comfortable writing code in Python or TypeScript.
  • Cloud Curiosity: You understand basic cloud concepts (compute, networking, storage, IAM) and want to go deeper.
  • Problem Solver: You enjoy debugging, understanding failure modes, and improving systems.
  • Ownership Mentality: You don’t stop at “it works.” You ask, “Is it scalable? Is it secure? Is it reliable?”
What’s In It For You?
  • Real Production Impact: You’ll contribute to live infrastructure used by engineering teams daily.
  • Elite Mentorship: You’ll work closely with senior platform engineers who care about raising the bar — including yours.
  • Foundation for a Serious Career: You’ll gain hands-on experience with AWS, Infrastructure as Code (CDK), CI/CD, observability, and production engineering.
  • Multiple Career Paths: Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Cloud Architecture, Data Platform Operations — this internship opens real doors.
Ready to Build the Platform Behind the Product?

If you’re curious about how large-scale cloud systems really work — and you want to stop watching tutorials and start operating real infrastructure — we want to meet you.
