Your job offer at 50Hertz Transmission GmbH (Elia Group)
Working student IT engineering (f/m/d)
Place of work: Berlin-Mitte - Heidestraße 2, 10557 Berlin
Temporary | 10 to 20 hours per week
Job ID: 10957
###start
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.
