This article describes a DevOps Intern role at Wooble, covering what the position involves, day-to-day responsibilities, required skills, and expectations. It emphasizes that this is a production-focused internship working on real GitHub repositories, Dockerized services, and CI/CD pipelines. Read on to see who the role is for, what you will own, and the timeline and growth possibilities.
Role overview
This is not a beginner or certificate-oriented internship. The role sits at the core of Wooble’s engineering execution: you will work on real production systems rather than mock assignments or sandbox environments. You will be responsible for organizing and maintaining how the engineering team builds, ships, and maintains software.
- You will work on real GitHub repositories, Dockerized services, and CI/CD pipelines used in production at Wooble.
- If you have only followed tutorials without applying them to real projects, this role will be overwhelming.
What you will do
- Own GitHub repository structure, branching strategy, and pull-request discipline.
- Dockerize services for consistent local, staging, and production environments.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
- Set up fail-fast checks for builds, linting, and tests.
- Improve developer onboarding through clear infrastructure documentation.
- Reduce manual work and friction for the engineering team.
- This role requires independent thinking and execution; you will be trusted with responsibility, not micromanaged.
Required skills and fit
Hands-on experience is required; the role expects practical application rather than theoretical knowledge or tutorial follow-through.
- GitHub: branches, pull requests, commit history, collaboration.
- Docker: Dockerfiles, containers, environment variables.
- Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with GitHub Actions, cloud platforms, or Linux environments is a plus.
- You should enjoy working on infrastructure, like making systems clean, predictable, and scalable.
- You should have applied DevOps concepts to at least one real or personal project and want ownership and real-world exposure, not certificates.
Expectations, duration, and who should not apply
- Who should not apply: those looking for a certificate-only internship, those who have only followed DevOps tutorials without applying them, or candidates who expect step-by-step instructions for everything.
- Internship duration: 3–6 months.
- Competitive stipend based on execution quality.
- High performers may be offered extended ownership or a full-time role.
This role offers hands-on, production-level DevOps work with ownership and measurable expectations. It is designed for candidates with practical experience in GitHub, Docker, and CI/CD who prefer infrastructure work and independent execution. If you seek certificates or purely tutorial-based learning, this position is not a match.
