We're looking for technically sharp, safety-minded professionals who thrive in environments where precision, accountability, and teamwork are everything. If you're passionate about complex systems, committed to doing things the right way, and ready to bring your military experience into a high-performing operations team, we want to hear from you.

EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure is partnering with the DoD SkillBridge program to offer active-duty service members a full-time internship as a Core Operations Technician, one of the most hands-on, high-impact roles on our team.

The Role

As a Core Operations Technician, you'll be one of the most trusted eyes and ears on the ground. You'll play a critical role in keeping our systems running smoothly and safely — monitoring data center conditions, leading vendor operations, and acting as a first responder when something doesn't look right. More than that, you'll help shape the future of EdgeCore's operational excellence.
