About the Site Reliability Engineer Intern Role at Criteo

The Platform teams at Criteo are responsible for ensuring one of the largest computing platforms in the AdTech world operates seamlessly. This involves leveraging a wide array of technologies such as large-scale data compute and storage services (Hadoop, SQL & NoSQL), streaming solutions (Kafka), platform-as-a-service tools (Chef, Mesos), identity management (Kerberos), and analytics platforms (Hive, Druid, Vertica), all supported by an extensive monitoring and observability infrastructure.

As a Site Reliability Engineer Intern, you will join a team of 5-7 individuals, working in close collaboration with your assigned mentor. Your internship will focus on driving a specific project, ensuring best practices are applied in its design and execution.
