Cloud Engineering Fellowship Program

Position Title : Cloud Engineering Fellowship Associate Program Duration : 6 – 8 Months (Full-Time Fellowship) Role Summary The Cloud Engineering Fellowship Associate will participate in a structured, project-based learning program designed to build foundational and intermediate cloud computing and DevOps skills. Fellows will work on real-world cloud infrastructure projects, receive mentorship from experienced cloud engineers, and collaborate with technical and business stakeholders to gain practical, hands-on exposure across the full cloud lifecycle — provisioning resources, automating deployments, implementing security, monitoring systems, and optimizing performance. Key Responsibilities • Project Execution & Documentation • Complete assigned cloud engineering learning projects involving virtual machine provisioning, serverless functions, container deployments, storage configuration, and networking. • Build and deploy cloud infrastructure using platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. • Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation to automate environment setup. • Configure CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and deployment workflows for applications. • Document cloud architectures, resource configurations, deployment steps, and cloud cost usage. Research & Framework Development • Research cloud best practices, DevOps methodologies, security compliance frameworks, and cost-optimization strategies for practical implementation. • Propose improvements to existing cloud architectures, provisioning scripts, automation workflows, and monitoring dashboards. • Document IaC standards, architecture diagrams, cloud security policies, and automation playbooks. Cloud Operations & Performance Monitoring • Monitor cloud environments and services using tools such as CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, or Grafana. • Troubleshoot infrastructure issues related to networking, storage, compute, IAM permissions, or deployment failures. • Analyze logs and alerts to ensure uptime, performance efficiency, and reliability. • Conduct performance tuning, autoscaling configuration, and resource utilization optimization. • Stakeholder Collaboration • Work closely with mentors, engineering team members, and project stakeholders to gather requirements and support solution implementation. • Participate in peer reviews, project showcases, DevOps simulation tasks, and architecture discussions. • Incorporate feedback from technical mentors to enhance quality, performance, and security of cloud deployments. Learning Outcomes • Develop proficiency in the end-to-end cloud engineering workflow: provisioning, automation, deployment, monitoring, and optimization. • Gain hands-on experience with cloud services, DevOps pipelines, IaC automation, and cloud-native networking and security. • Strengthen troubleshooting, systems thinking, performance-engineering, and documentation skills. • Build a portfolio showcasing cloud architectures, IaC scripts, automation pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and deployment case studies — demonstrating job-readiness for cloud and DevOps roles. Qualifications • Graduate degree in Computer Science, Cloud Computing, Information Technology, Electronics, Software Engineering, or related fields. • Early-career engineers or recent graduates preferred. • Familiarity with Linux, networking fundamentals, and one programming or scripting language (Python, Bash, etc.) required; exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP is an advantage. • Strong problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn emerging cloud technologies. • Clear written and verbal communication skills. Program Benefits • Structured mentorship, regular performance feedback, and technical career development coaching. • Opportunity to present cloud projects to industry experts and receive professional evaluations. • Fellowship certificate and digital badge upon completion. • Accelerated pathway to Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Platform Engineer, or Cloud Support roles.
