Network Administrator Internship — Always Hiring

Network Administrator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize

Apply now for the Network Administrator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a 6-month certified program on rolling intake, inside the infrastructure layer that keeps a 99.9999% uptime promise across the platforms our clients depend on. Network Administrator interns here do not rack servers in isolation: you will work on the networks that carry encrypted client communications, learn segmentation the way an intelligence organization practices it, and understand why a router ACL is a security decision before it is a performance one. The infrastructure team maintains the 99.9999% uptime promise behind our platforms — and from month one, you are inside the rotation that keeps it. This is the full internship description — required skills, responsibilities, eligibility, and the selection process.

01The actual work

What will you actually do as a Network Administrator at CryptoMize?

Work alongside the infrastructure team on the networks carrying CryptoMize’s encrypted communication suite and platform backbone

Learn segmentation discipline as practiced here — VLAN architecture and firewall policy where every rule exists because someone documented why

Shadow the monitoring regime that backs our uptime record: what we watch, what thresholds mean, and what paging at 3 AM is actually for

Assist in switch, router, and firewall configuration under supervision — Cisco IOS and pfSense, named and hands-on, not theoretical

Run cabling, labeling, and documentation passes — the physical-layer hygiene every real network runs on

Practice backup, restore, and recovery drills on non-production segments until the procedure is reflex

Sit inside the security category of an intelligence organization — where the network is not IT overhead but part of the confidentiality promise to clients

Learn the change-management ritual properly — every modification proposed, peer-reviewed, windowed, and documented before a single command touches production

Learn the diagnostic ladder properly — physical layer upward through switching, routing, firewalling, and application symptoms — because the skill that separates administrators from tool-users is isolating which layer actually broke before anyone touches a configuration, and the runbooks you will write here are built around exactly that discipline

Practice the backup religion properly — integrity verification, restore rehearsal, and the recovery documentation that turns a disaster scenario into a runbook checklist rather than an improvisation under pressure

03Six months, structured

Network Administrator Internship — learning path at CryptoMize

Six months on real infrastructure with a named mentor, progressing from observation to supervised operation.

  1. MONTH 1

    Topology & standards

    Network maps, our segmentation architecture, and the monitoring regime — plus your first supervised hardware work.

    1/5
  2. MONTH 2

    Configuration reps

    Switch, router, and firewall configuration on lab and staged segments; documentation passes on production topology.

    2/5
  3. MONTHS 3–4

    Operating duties

    Supervised operational tasks in the monitoring queue, change windows, and backup drills.

    3/5
  4. MONTH 5

    Incident exposure

    You join the on-call shadow rotation: watching diagnosis under pressure and writing the post-incident note.

    4/5
  5. MONTH 6

    Capstone & evaluation

    Own a scoped network segment operationally for a fortnight, present your runbook, and be evaluated for conversion. By then you will have configured switches and firewalls under supervision, answered monitoring escalations, executed a restore drill, and written the documentation that makes infrastructure operable — which is the whole craft, at intern scale, with production-adjacent stakes throughout.
