As a member of our Digital Operations team, you will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced IT professionals while gaining hands-on experience applying software engineering and automation principles to real-world IT operations. The IT Infrastructure & Automation Intern will focus on improving the way IT operates by identifying manual, repetitive, and error-prone processes and transforming them into automated, reliable, and repeatable workflows. This role will have a strong emphasis on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Terraform, and automation across the systems and processes managed by IT.

This may include automating infrastructure provisioning, user and access management, service desk workflows, application and device management, cloud services, and other operational processes. The goal is to reduce manual "click-ops," improve consistency, and build processes that can be reliably executed and maintained over time.
