Our Data Center Operations team is the backbone of CoreWeave’s AI cloud infrastructure, ensuring our mission-critical data centers operate with exceptional reliability, security, and performance.

As a Data Center Technician Apprentice, you’ll launch your IT career while working alongside experienced technicians who will provide hands-on coaching, real-time feedback, and mentorship every step of the way. From day one, you’ll gain practical experience in a cutting-edge AI cloud environment, developing the technical skills needed to support enterprise-scale infrastructure while contributing to the performance and reliability of our data centers.

On a typical day, you’ll:

  • Diagnose and troubleshoot server, networking, and hardware issues in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Provide hands-on technical support alongside experienced data center technicians and engineers.
  • Assemble, rack, cable, and install enterprise-grade servers, networking equipment, and supporting infrastructure.
  • Perform hardware upgrades, preventative maintenance, and equipment replacements to maximize system reliability.
  • Learn to automate operational tasks by developing or modifying scripts that support server and network operations.
  • Investigate hardware and software failures, perform root cause analysis, and help implement long-term solutions.
  • Follow industry-leading safety, security, and operational best practices while working in a mission-critical data center.

This apprenticeship is more than an introduction to IT - it’s an opportunity to build a strong technical foundation, develop sought-after data center and infrastructure skills, and launch a career supporting the cutting-edge technology that powers the future of AI.
