As an intern, you will support infrastructure deployment projects, validate data, automate workflows, and gain hands-on experience in data centers under mentorship.
Available Locations: London (UK) or Lisbon (Portugal)
About the Team & Role
In this role, you will help support the foundations of a new infrastructure build-out and expansion of our global network. As an intern, you will be paired with a dedicated mentor from the Deployment team who will guide you through the end-to-end lifecycle of infrastructure planning and execution.
This is a practical and data driven hands-on opportunity to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application. You will take ownership of small-scale deployment projects and validate key technical DCIM records for operational rigor using AI, create scripts and identify opportunities to automate our workflows. If you are eager to learn, willing to get your hands dirty, while learning and leveraging AI to validate, automate and strengthen the data integrity for our deployments to help build a faster, safer Internet for millions of users, this is the place for you.
