Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram's Kazhakkoottam area has a Junior Data Center Technician internship, on site, with a team responsible for the physical and software infrastructure behind a growing hosting operation. No prior experience is required, and this internship is genuinely entry-level.
The work covers designing and building software components, working closely with product and QA teams, and troubleshooting issues reported by users, alongside real physical data center work like server installation, cable management, and hardware diagnostics. This internship blends software and hands-on infrastructure work in a way a purely software role wouldn't.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with proficiency in the relevant languages and tools for this role at an entry level. No professional history is required for this internship.
Any home lab experience, basic networking familiarity, and comfort with physically demanding work like cable management and hardware installation, which is a real part of this role and not just an occasional task.
Technopark is one of Kerala's largest and most established tech parks, and this team's hosting operation gives interns exposure to infrastructure at a scale that's hard to replicate in a purely academic setting. Naukri Mitra has listed a few internship roles from this employer, and past interns describe the hands-on physical infrastructure exposure as the most distinctive part of the program compared to other software internships they'd considered.
Interviews include a basic technical conversation and a discussion of your comfort with hands-on physical work. Candidates who express genuine interest in the physical infrastructure side, not just the software layer, tend to interview well.
This internship is based at Technopark, Kazhakkoottam, Thiruvananthapuram, pin code 695582, five days a week on site. The stipend is up to ₹10,500 a month. The team hopes to start someone within three to four weeks.
