  • Utilize internal applications for inventory and asset management, ensuring accurate tracking and reporting.
  • Manage data center operations tickets via Jira, ensuring timely resolution and documentation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement network layouts and solutions.
  • Lead initiatives to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime.
  • Provide on-call support and respond to critical events as needed.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
  • 5+ years of experience working with server, storage, compute, and network hardware.
  • 5+ years of experience troubleshooting and repairing servers and networking infrastructure.
  • Proven leadership experience in a data center or technical operations environment.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Strong Linux skills, including navigating system directories, manipulating files in the Linux shell, user permission configuration, and package installation.
  • Experience with Python, Bash or other scripting languages.
  • Experience leading data center infrastructure projects.
  • Familiarity with structured cabling (copper/fiber) and power and cooling concepts inside the data center.
  • Excellent prioritization and time management skills.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and maintain attention to detail.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Position is subject to pre-employment and annual post-employment background checks.
  • Ability to lift up to 35 lbs. unassisted.
  • Comfortable working at elevated heights (up to 50 feet) with appropriate safety gear.
