Data Center Technician, Intern

Job description

As part of the Fleet Operations, Reliability and Central Engineering (FORCE) team at Meta, the Data Center Technician Intern works alongside our technicians and engineers to support the health and reliability of Meta's global server fleet. This is a hands-on role in a live data center environment where interns learn by doing real work on real hardware, under close supervision and with structured mentorship. The internship is a 12-week program designed for students who want to apply their coursework in a production environment at scale. Meta operates one of the largest server fleets in the world, which means the problems you work on, and the volume you see, are not something a classroom or a typical IT support role can replicate. A working familiarity with Linux, a basic understanding of server hardware, and an interest in networking fundamentals are central to this role. Interns follow the same learning path as our full-time technicians, building proficiency in data center fundamentals, procedure execution, and hardware troubleshooting, with exposure to the diagnostic and systemic process work performed by our Production Operations engineering teams. You will have the chance to connect what you are learning in the data hall to the systems concepts behind it, and to contribute to the documentation our global teams rely on. You will work in a fast-paced environment where adaptability, attention to detail, and a safety-first mindset are key to success. Summer 2027 Program Dates: June 7 – August 27, 2027 (12 weeks)
