Backend Apps & Infrastructure Intern - Azure IaC Accelerator

Job description

We are looking for a motivated intern who is curious about cloud engineering, Infrastructure as Code, and automation. You should enjoy turning technical ideas into practical, maintainable solutions and be eager to learn from experienced cloud professionals.

Your main assignment will be to create a practical library of reusable Terraform modules for Azure. You will develop individual resource modules and combine them into larger, composable solutions, such as virtual networks with their related resources.

Beyond the modules themselves, you will build reusable GitHub Actions workflows, help establish well-organized repositories, and create a GitHub Copilot instruction template. Together, these assets will give the team a consistent foundation for future Azure deployments for our clients.

The internship will follow a sprint-based approach using Azure DevOps. At the start of each sprint, you will receive a clearly defined set of tasks and priorities. Regular check-ins, sprint reviews, and feedback will help you demonstrate results, adjust your approach, and steadily build your skills. This process will provide a transparent framework for tracking progress and evaluating your development throughout the internship.

You will work in a modern engineering environment using Azure DevOps for sprint planning, GitHub for code management, GitHub Actions for deployments, Terraform, GitHub Copilot, and Microsoft Azure. Guidance and regular feedback will be provided throughout the internship; prior experience with any of these tools is an advantage, but a strong willingness to learn is equally important.

Come join us

At Avanade, you will become part of a welcoming, collaborative community where people share knowledge, challenge ideas, and support one another. Our global perspective and strong connection to the Microsoft ecosystem create an environment where you can learn from diverse experiences, build meaningful relationships, and see how innovation takes shape in practice.

From your first day, you will be encouraged to ask questions, contribute your perspective, and take increasing ownership as your confidence grows. With regular guidance, open feedback, and opportunities to work alongside experienced colleagues, the internship is designed to be both challenging and supportive. You will leave with a clearer view of life in consulting, valuable professional experience, and a network of people invested in your development. If you are curious, open-minded, and ready to grow, we would be pleased to welcome you to Avanade.
