### **Description and Requirements**
**Reliability \& DevOps Intern – Qira AI Platform**
**About the Role:**
Join the engineering team behind **Qira**, Lenovo’s cross‑device Personal AI platform, and help build the reliability, automation, and operational foundations that support AI services running across **devices, edge environments, and cloud infrastructure**.
As a **Reliability \& DevOps Intern**, you will work on meaningful reliability and operational engineering tasks while learning how modern AI systems are built, monitored, and operated in production. You will collaborate closely with DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) professionals on real systems, **without participating in an on‑call rotation**, making this an ideal learning opportunity for students interested in infrastructure, reliability, and cloud engineering
**What You’ll Work On:**
You will contribute to projects that improve system reliability, automation, and observability, such as:
**Monitoring, Observability \& Reliability**
* Build or enhance dashboards, alerts, and monitoring for system services and AI workloads.
* Improve observability by working with **metrics, logs, and traces** to better understand system behavior.
* Assist with identifying reliability risks and operational gaps in production systems.
**Automation \& Tooling**
* Write scripts or lightweight tools in **Python, Bash, or similar languages** to support DevOps and SRE workflows.
* Automate small, repeatable tasks related to deployments, pipelines, or cloud infrastructure management.
* Help improve CI/CD pipelines and operational automation.
**Operational Readiness \& Documentation**
* Write and maintain **runbooks, operational guides, and reliability documentation**.
* Document troubleshooting steps, system behaviors, and standard operating procedures.
* Support post‑incident analysis by helping gather data and document learnings.
**Cloud \& Infrastructure Support**
* Assist with cloud infrastructure tasks across platforms such as **Azure, AWS, or GCP**.
* Support environments running AI workloads across cloud, edge, and device ecosystems.
* Learn how large‑scale AI platforms are deployed, monitored, and maintained.
**Collaboration \& Learning**
* Work closely with engineers across DevOps, SRE, AI, and platform teams.
* Participate in design reviews, reliability discussions, and operational planning meetings.
* Learn best practices for building scalable, reliable systems in a fast‑moving engineering environment.
**Minimum Requirements:**
We expect interns to come in with a solid technical foundation so they can contribute from day one.
**Education**
* Currently working toward a degree in **Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field**.
**Required Technical Skills**
* Hands‑on experience with **Linux**, including basic commands, processes, and networking concepts.
* Ability to write scripts or small tools using **Python, Bash, or similar languages**.
* Familiarity with **cloud computing concepts** (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
* Basic understanding of **Git**, CI/CD concepts, and automation workflows.
* Foundational knowledge of networking concepts.
**Core Competencies**
* Strong interest in **DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), reliability, or infrastructure engineering**.
* Ability to learn quickly and adapt in a fast‑paced engineering environment.
* Clear written communication skills, especially for documentation and technical writing.
* Strong problem‑solving mindset and attention to detail.
**Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have Skills**
* Exposure to observability tools (monitoring, logging, or tracing systems).
* Experience working with pipelines or infrastructure‑as‑code concepts.
* Familiarity with AI platforms, distributed systems, or edge computing environments.
**Key Skills \& Technologies:**
* DevOps \& Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
* Cloud Infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP)
* Linux \& Networking
* Automation \& Scripting (Python, Bash)
* CI/CD Pipelines
* Observability (Metrics, Logs, Traces)
* Reliability Engineering
* Git \& Version Control
* Documentation \& Technical Writing
* AI \& Edge Computing Environments
**What You’ll Gain**
* Hands‑on experience operating real AI services used at scale.
* Exposure to modern DevOps and SRE practices in production environments.
* Practical skills in automation, observability, and cloud infrastructure.
* Mentorship from experienced engineers working on Lenovo’s AI platform.
* A strong foundation for future roles in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure.
