Intership Projects:

Devops project - Implement a proxy system using AWS API Gateway

The GBDX platform has a proxy frontend that takes our incoming HTTP traffic and routes it to the appropriate backend service.  The goal of this project would be to replace the existing Kong based load-balanced proxy with an implementation in AWS API Gateway.  The scope of this project will include the deployment, configuration, testing and monitoring of the proxy system.

Devops project - Analyse AWS logs

Analyse AWS based logs like AWS VPC Flow logs or AWS S3 access logs for usage metrics.  Prepare and transform the log information for inclusion into our data warehouse for report generation and Analysis.  Participate with the various stake holders in defining the data specification for use in the data warehouse Use systems like AWS Lambda, Glue and Athena to convert the data to the specification.  Build the systems needed and all the deployment and monitoring gear, test the system to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data and document and present the system.

Devops project - Utilize AWS Code Build to produce the GBDX platform's build packages

Utilize AWS's CodeBuild service to manage source code building, running of tests and production of software packages and artefacts ready for deployment.  Utilize and convert the existing Jenkins based build project for use with Amazon CodeBuild.  Understand how to trigger the builds based on Git check-ins and how to monitor the system for errors.  Generate reports on the successes and failures of the system and build a dashboard to notify developers of the status of the build processes.

Devops project - Dockerize our test suite and run it in part or full from automated systems

GBDX has an extensive suite of  tests that exercises the full platform system.  Take the suite and dockerize it for running on a container based system.  Create the surrounding infrastructure for running the tests in part or in whole.  Trigger the testing to be run when components are successfully deployed.  Generate the test reports and transfer them to S3 for centralized reporting and monitoring.

DigitalGlobe and Radiant solutions offer a generous compensation package including a competitive salary; choice of medical plan; dental, life, and disability insurance; a 401(K) plan with competitive company match; paid holidays and paid time off.
