Computer Science | Software Engineering internship: observability and debugging platform

Introduction

In this internship, you will address a key challenge in improving developer productivity. Today, logs and system events are spread across multiple services. You will help create a unified view that simplifies debugging and improves daily workflows. Your work will enhance developer experience and operational efficiency by building a centralized observability and debugging layer.
 

Your assignment

In this assignment, you will design and and implement a system that:

• Provides a unified view of logs and events across provisioning, authentication, and networking layers.
• Enables correlation of events using identifiers such as Ringfence ID or Cluster ID.
• Surfaces actionable insights and failure summaries instead of raw logs.
• Simplifies troubleshooting for both developers and platform engineers.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Design a unified architecture to collect and process logs and events.
• Build a centralized layer to aggregate data across multiple systems.
• Implement event correlation using unique identifiers such as system or cluster IDs.
• Develop clear summaries that highlight failures and root causes.
• Create visual dashboards or interfaces for easy troubleshooting.
• Validate the solution with real use cases and performance tests.
• Document your design and share improvements with the team.

This is a bachelor or master internship for minimum 5-6 months, minimum 2-3 days per week (2-3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026.
