About the Role

Container Solutions, a professional services company focused on Cloud Native transformation for enterprises, is seeking a Cloud Native Engineer Intern to join us for 10-12 weeks during summer 2021. Our preference is for a current university student but you may also be a very recent graduate. You must also be fully able to work remotely within Canada for the duration of this project.

You will work on one of our Open Source projects, implementing new features to drive the project forward. You will collaborate with our engineers in regular meetings and discussions over video calls and Slack. You will work independently, asking for advice and help when required. You will regularly present your ideas and work to the team in a supportive environment. This will be a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure to a scale-up cloud native consultancy at the very start of your career.

Salary and Benefits

This internship is indeed a paid position, but we have much more to offer you. Even though you will be here for just the summer we still want you to know everything you do matters, and your voice will always be heard. Container Solutions is a respected company in the field of Cloud Native and we believe that this is a wonderful opportunity not only to learn from us but to start building your career whilst still studying. Our engineers are at the forefront of the field, and regularly present at industry events. This position will give you the opportunity to work directly with them and learn through this collaboration from them.
