CloudSEK DevOps Intern 2026 for freshers in Bengaluru
CloudSEK is hiring a DevOps Intern in Bengaluru, and this is a hands-on infrastructure role rather than a learn-from-scratch one. The listing is built around Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, traffic routing and observability across multiple clouds, and it names its tools by version and vendor. This post pulls out exactly what the role covers, the skills the page lists as required, and what it treats as nice to have. Everything here comes from CloudSEK's official listing on its Greenhouse board, with nothing added.
One thing to know about the company first, because it shapes the work. CloudSEK is an Indian cybersecurity product company that builds AI-driven threat detection. So the infrastructure you would help run is production security software, not an internal side project.
What the DevOps intern would do
CloudSEK lists the responsibilities plainly. The word assist appears more than once, so you would be working alongside the platform team, not owning production alone.
- Assist in deploying and operating Kubernetes clusters on EKS, GKE or AKS.
- Manage traffic routing and ingress systems for Kubernetes workloads.
- Work with Karpenter for Kubernetes node provisioning and autoscaling.
- Help keep production systems reliable, scalable and performant.
- Build and maintain monitoring and logging stacks.
- Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows.
- Automate operational tasks to cut manual toil, and troubleshoot across networking, containers and cloud services.
Read the mix and it is clear this is a platform and reliability role. The through-line is running workloads on Kubernetes and keeping them healthy, with automation and observability wrapped around that.
The skills the listing marks as required
CloudSEK splits its requirements into a required block and an essential-skills block. Taken together, here is what the page actually asks for.
- A strong grasp of Kubernetes fundamentals and architecture, including the control plane, CNI, CSI and upgrades.
- Exposure to managed Kubernetes services: EKS, GKE or AKS.
- Traffic routing experience with NGINX Ingress or the Kubernetes Gateway API.
- Observability with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki, or equivalents.
- Basic hands-on experience with Karpenter, including NodePools and EC2NodeClass.
- Strong CI/CD fundamentals with Jenkins or GitLab CI, and GitOps with ArgoCD preferred.
- An understanding of ingress, TLS and traffic strategies such as blue/green and canary.
- Configuration and secrets management with Vault, Sealed Secrets or External Secrets.
- Working knowledge of AWS, GCP and Azure, covering VPC, IAM and cost awareness.
- Scripting skills in Bash, Python or Go.
This is a long and specific list for an internship. Be honest with yourself against it. If you have run workloads on a managed Kubernetes service and built a CI/CD pipeline, you are in range. If Kubernetes is still theory for you, the page is asking for more than that.
The nice-to-haves
CloudSEK also names a set of extras that would strengthen an application without being required.
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or Ansible.
- Linux system administration skills.
- Container and network security exposure.
- Multi-region or multi-cluster Kubernetes setups.
- Familiarity with SRE practices and incident response.
If you have any of these, put them on your resume for this role. The security exposure in particular fits a cybersecurity company well.
A note on the degree line
Worth flagging clearly: the CloudSEK listing names no specific degree and no percentage cut-off. It is built around skills, not a qualification. So the filter here is whether you can show hands-on Kubernetes and CI/CD work, whatever your branch. A BCA, B.Sc IT, B.Tech or MCA student who has done real DevOps work fits as well as anyone.
What the listing does not say
Some practical fields are missing, and it is fairer to name them than to guess.
- No stipend figure. The page carries no pay or stipend line, so the salary reads as not disclosed by the company.
- No internship duration. The page does not say how long the internship runs.
- No batch year and no seat count. Nothing on the page rules a graduation year in or out, and it does not say how many interns will be taken.
About CloudSEK, and why the infra matters
The listing carries a fair amount about the company, and it is worth reading because it tells you what your work would support. CloudSEK was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Singapore, with operations across India, Southeast Asia and the Americas. Its products are a suite of threat-detection tools: XVigil for digital-risk monitoring, BeVigil for attack-surface scanning, SVigil for software supply-chain risk, and AIVigil for securing exposed AI infrastructure.
On funding and recognition, the page states a $7M Series A in 2021 led by MassMutual Ventures, and $19M raised in 2025 led by Tenacity Ventures and Commvault. It also lists a NASSCOM-DSCI Security Product Company of the Year award and a spot in the NVIDIA Inception programme. The takeaway for a DevOps intern is simple: these are live, funded products with real customers, so the Kubernetes and CI/CD work is running production security software, not a sandbox.
How to apply for the CloudSEK internship 2026
The application runs on CloudSEK's own Greenhouse board. Since the role is skills-led, the strongest thing you can bring is proof of hands-on work: a cluster you have run, a pipeline you have built, a dashboard you have wired up. Line those up before you apply, and use the official link below.
