Working student IT engineering (f/m/d) 50Hertz Transmission GmbH – a company of the European Elia Group

  • Berlin • Students I want the job
  • Heidestraße 2, 10557 Berlin
  • For the next possible date
  • Job ID: 10957 Join our Observability team as a working student.
Gain hands-on experience with modern monitoring tools, support stable platforms, and grow your engineering skills – curiosity beats experience.
What you'll be doing
  • Help maintain and operate our observability platform including Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics, Splunk, Loki, and Seq log management,
  • Support onboarding of new teams – guide colleagues through our monitoring setup and best practices,
  • Provide first-level user support for the observability stack: answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and escalate when needed,
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of dashboards, alerting rules, and log pipelines,
  • Assist with documentation – keep runbooks, how-to guides, and tool wikis up to date,
  • Explore and evaluate new features in our tooling, propose enhancements, and help test changes,
  • Work alongside engineers on day-to-day infrastructure and monitoring tasks in a Linux environment.
What you bring
  • Currently enrolled in computer science, IT, or a related field,
  • Enrollment in a degree program intended to continue in parallel with this role over the coming semesters,
  • Basic Linux knowledge (navigating the terminal, reading logs, understanding processes),
  • Genuine interest in monitoring, infrastructure, or DevOps topics,
  • Good communication skills – able to explain technical topics to non-technical colleagues,
  • Structured and reliable work style, comfortable working independently on clearly scoped tasks,
  • Any prior exposure to Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, Loki, or similar tools is a bonus – but not required,
**Near‑native English proficiency (C1), both written and spoken, required for daily technical discussions and documentation.** **This position is intentionally scoped as a learning and support role for enrolled students and is not suited for candidates seeking senior responsibility, system ownership, or full‑time equivalence.** **Complex design decisions, architectural responsibility, and independent production changes remain with full‑time engineers.** **Deep production ownership or long‑term operational responsibility is not expected.** No prior professional experience required – curiosity and a willingness to learn are what matter most.
What you get
  • Hands-on experience with a modern, production observability stack used by real engineering teams,
  • Mentorship from experienced engineers in monitoring and infrastructure,
  • Flexible working hours that fit around your studies (approx.
20 hrs/week),
  • The opportunity to take ownership of sub-projects and see your contributions in production,
  • A collaborative team that takes learning seriously.
