fab2 Fab Software Engineering Intern will design, build, deploy, and manage on-prem backend infrastructure for a semiconductor fab. The role focuses on minimal, bare-metal Linux infrastructure using Rust, Go, and Python.
Responsibilities
We are seeking a Infrastructure and Site Reliability Intern for the summer term. The internship begins in May or June, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. You will design, build, deploy, and manage the on-prem backend infrastructure that powers our small, fast semiconductor fab.
This is a broad role encompassing all aspects of backend infrastructure and services.
Our philosophy towards infra is minimal, understandable, on-site, and close to the hardware. You won’t find much docker, cloud services, or kubernetes. Instead, there is a lot of bare-metal linux, systemd, and single file binaries. You’ll see a lot of rust and go and occasionally some python.
What matters most is that you’ve already built real things, you love getting close to the metal, and show strong signs of engineering excellence. If you’re excited by performance engineering, building complex features from scratch, and learning new domains quickly, this is a great place for you.
Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio (can be your GitHub) is required to apply: show us the things you’ve actually built! For us, a good portfolio includes evidence of software engineering excellence and curiosity.
Build and evolve our infrastructure-as-code tooling to manage complex, multi-environment deployments
Help manage and maintain our fleet of on-premises servers, ensuring high availability and optimal resource utilization
Monitor and maintain system performance and health across diverse production workloads
Design, implement, and refine alerting systems to catch issues before they impact users
Build automation to reduce toil and improve operational efficiency
Implement secure secret management
Debug production issues across the stack
