About Chegg

We put students first. Our mission is to help every student achieve their best, in school and beyond.

We strive to improve the overall return on investment in education by helping students learn more in less time and at a lower cost. Chegg is a publicly-held company based in California, USA and trades on the NYSE under the symbol CHGG.

As Chegg evolves into an AI-native company, our CloudOps team builds and operates the cloud infrastructure that keeps every product reliable, secure, and cost-efficient for millions of students worldwide.

Role Summary

This is not your typical internship. On Chegg's CloudOps team, you'll work with a modern cloud infrastructure stack - Infrastructure-as-Code, container orchestration, configuration management, and CI/CD pipelines - using AI-powered development tools like Claude as part of your everyday workflow.

You'll join a small, high-leverage team of SREs and cloud automation engineers who keep production infrastructure running for every other engineering team at Chegg. Your changes will ship to production and directly support systems that reach millions of students.

You will be surrounded by experienced infrastructure and reliability engineers who will challenge your thinking, accelerate your growth, and help you become a stronger engineer.

If you're looking for an internship where you write real infrastructure code, automate real operational workflows, and make a real impact at a company whose mission is to help every student succeed, this is it.

What You'll Do

Infrastructure & Automation

• Contribute to Infrastructure-as-Code used to provision and manage cloud resources across multiple environments.
• Write automation scripts and tooling that support cloud operations - access provisioning, cost optimization, and resource lifecycle management.
• Help maintain configuration-management tooling and containerized/orchestrated workloads.

Reliability & Operations

• Support day-to-day cloud operations: access requests, monitoring and alerting hygiene, and routine maintenance across cloud accounts.
• Learn observability practices - structured logging, metrics, and alerting - and help improve signal-to-noise in production monitoring.
• Participate in cost-optimization and security/compliance initiatives, such as resource tagging, rightsizing, and access reviews.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Ship infrastructure changes safely through CI/CD pipelines, with code review and automated checks.
• Collaborate with engineering teams across the company who depend on CloudOps for infrastructure support.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies, code reviews, and technical discussions to build engineering judgment.

Required Qualifications

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Solid foundation in at least one general-purpose programming language (Python, Go, etc.) and basic scripting.

• Eagerness to learn cloud infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-Code practices from the ground up.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, feedback-driven mindset.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools (such as Claude) and able to leverage them to speed up development.

Chegg is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and interns.

Why do we exist?

Students are working harder than ever before to stabilize their future. Our recent research study called State of the Student shows that nearly 3 out of 4 students are working to support themselves through college and 1 in 3 students feel pressure to spend more than they can afford. We founded our business on provided affordable textbook rental options to address these issues. Since then, we've expanded our offerings to supplement many facets of higher educational learning through Chegg Study, Chegg Math, Chegg Writing, Chegg Internships, Chegg Skills, and more to support students beyond their college experience. These offerings lower financial concerns for students by modernizing their learning experience. We exist so students everywhere have a smarter, faster, more affordable way to student.
