Junior Ansible Automation Engineer internship open at GIFT City, Gandhinagar. On-site, ₹15,000 a month.
What this internship involves
The team manages cloud infrastructure that needs to stay reliable around the clock, and configuration automation is a big part of how they keep it that way. An intern on this team would work alongside cloud engineers on provisioning, deployment, and monitoring, getting real exposure to infrastructure work rather than sitting on the sidelines.
- Provision and manage cloud infrastructure supporting the team's applications
- Automate deployment pipelines to reduce manual, repetitive setup work
- Monitor system performance and reliability on an ongoing basis
- Respond to infrastructure incidents as they come up
Incident response at this level usually means shadowing a senior engineer at first, then gradually taking on smaller pieces of the response yourself. A misconfigured deployment script that silently fails on half the servers in a rollout is exactly the kind of problem this internship is meant to expose you to, under supervision, before you're handling something like it alone.
What's expected coming in
A bachelor's degree is required, and computer science or IT is the most common background, though the team cares more about actual skill than the specific degree title. This internship requires no minimum professional experience. That said, the role expects some real, hands-on familiarity with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and automated deployment concepts, so a purely theoretical background probably isn't enough on its own.
Skills you'll use
- Ansible
- Configuration management
- Scripting
- Linux
Skills that help your application
Basic Git usage keeps configuration changes tracked and reviewable, which matters even more in infrastructure automation than in typical application code. Some exposure to AWS or Azure fundamentals is a genuine plus given how much infrastructure work now runs on one cloud provider or another. Familiarity with a CI/CD tool like Jenkins helps connect automation and deployment, and solid YAML comfort goes a long way since most Ansible playbooks live in that format.
Location and pay
The internship pays ₹15,000 a month and is based on-site at GIFT City, Gandhinagar. Naukri Mitra sees a steady flow of DevOps and cloud openings from GIFT City as the financial and IT sector there continues to grow. There's no remote arrangement here, so plan for a regular commute or a short-term move if you're coming from outside the area.
What's included
- Monthly stipend of ₹15,000
- Mentorship from senior team members
- Certificate of completion at the end of the internship
- Strong potential for a full-time offer based on performance
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Gandhinagar
- Accommodation support during the transition
The full-time path is a real consideration for anyone who does well here, and it's worth weighing against other internship offers without the same conversion track record.
Applying
A resume paired with any Ansible playbooks, scripts, or infrastructure projects you've worked on, even personal or coursework-based ones, will help your application stand out. Being ready to explain a configuration decision you made, not just describe the finished setup, tends to go over well. Shortlisted candidates should expect a short technical conversation focused on a past automation task.
