POSITION SUMMARY

Join EarnIn's Platform Services team for a 6-month internship building an AI-powered solution that directly impacts our Platform Infrastructure. You'll own meaningful end-to-end work across two connected workstreams — reducing platform toil and accelerating delivery for every engineer at EarnIn — under the guidance of senior platform engineers. This position will be based in Bengaluru, India, as part of our expanding site, and is a contract role from July 2026 to February 2027, targeting university students. This role requires two days a week in the office as part of our growing site location.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Build components of the AI First Responder agent — an automated on-call triage system that integrates Datadog, Incident.io, and Slack — including agent tooling, evaluation harnesses, and integration workflows.
  • Contribute to the IaC migration away from Terraform Cloud — refactoring Terraform modules, cleaning up policies, and building migration scaffolding that clears tech debt and accelerates platform delivery.
  • Use AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) throughout both workstreams to develop applied AI skills in a real infrastructure context.
  • Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code that lasts beyond the internship.
  • Collaborate with engineers across the Bengaluru and Mountain View Platform teams; present your work and learnings to the broader team.
  • Shadow incident triage and on-call workflows to build context on production operations (no on-call responsibilities).

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree (B.E., B.Tech, M.Tech, or equivalent) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from an Indian university; graduating December 2026 or later.
  • Experience with Python, Go, or another backend language — coursework or personal projects count.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), containers (Docker), or infrastructure-as-code concepts (Terraform, Kubernetes); classroom or personal-project experience counts.
  • Eagerness to learn and actively use AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) as part of your day-to-day workflow — this is a core expectation, not a nice-to-have.
  • Comfort working in a Linux/CLI environment and with Git-based version control.
  • Ability to communicate progress proactively, ask good questions, and document your work clearly.
  • Self-starter mindset — you take initiative, seek feedback, and iterate quickly with moderate guidance.
  • Prior internship or project experience in platform engineering, infrastructure automation, or site reliability is a plus.
  • Familiarity with Datadog, PagerDuty, or similar observability and incident-management tools is a plus. 
  • Experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) or building agent-style workflows in a project context is a plus. 
  • Exposure to Kubernetes or Helm in any environment (lab, personal cluster, coursework) is a plus.
