Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.
Modernization only counts when the release lands and the legacy system gets switched off and the DevOps team is where that discipline lives. As a DevOps Engineer intern, you'll join the team managing large customer deployments: Linux and Windows administration, large enterprise applications, and big data workloads. This work serves our infrastructure and application modernization pillar the migrations that move customers off dedicated hardware and onto AWS.
You're here to learn the agent-native craft, not to own cutover the senior engineers carry that commitment. What you will own is real operational work: tickets, provisioning automation, release support. Automation is the core skill you'll build, because in a firm where agents absorb the repetitive majority of delivery work, the engineers who matter are the ones who automate the rest.
What you will do
Work the operations tickets and project task queue with the DevOps team.
Communicate with the rest of Engineering to roll out broad changes for customers.
Automate operational and server provisioning workflows using AWS CloudFormation templates.
Share responsibility for deploying releases and other operations maintenance.
Improve operations infrastructure — Jenkins clusters, Bitbucket, monitoring tools (Consul), and metrics tools such as Graphite and Grafana.
Provide operational support for the rest of the Engineering team.
Help migrate our remaining dedicated hardware infrastructure to the cloud retiring hardware, not just racking new services.
What you need for this opportunity
Conceptual understanding of version control systems (git), including branching and merging strategies.
Conceptual understanding of cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP.
Conceptual understanding of Snowflake.
Conceptual understanding of or exposure to software build tools (Maven, Gradle) and continuous integration tools (Jenkins); must have supported Java-based applications in a production environment.
Conceptual understanding of Linux environments and scripting languages — bash, Python, Groovy.
How we work?
Mactores delivers through agents plus forward-deployed engineers. Aedeon, the agent platform we deploy, handles the repetitive majority of engagement work discovery, mapping, validation, test generation and engineers handle the judgment calls and the cutover itself. We commit to fixed delivery dates, so operational discipline isn't optional here. As an intern you'll learn that discipline where it's most visible: in the release pipeline, the monitoring stack, and the automation that keeps both honest.
