Lead Data Center Support Services Technician serves as a critical technical lead within the data center operations team, ensuring infrastructure resilience and availability at scale.

Day-to-day responsibilities include performing hardware break/fix, coordinating site augmentations, mentoring junior technicians, and driving root-cause analysis to implement long-term improvements. Candidates must possess expertise in Linux and Windows systems administration, networking fundamentals like DNS and TCP/IP, and physical infrastructure components including electrical and cooling plants, airflow management, and structured cabling for fiber and copper. The position addresses the challenge of maintaining mission-critical environments by standardizing SOPs, managing risk during network migrations, and ensuring high-quality documentation across all hardware and infrastructure operations.

  • Manage the lifecycle of servers and components by setting standards for diagnosis, replacement, and performance validation.
  • Lead large-scale network builds and migrations while overseeing risk assessment, cabling, and end-to-end connectivity.
  • Serve as the highest operational escalation point to lead cross-functional triage and root-cause analysis for complex incidents.
  • Develop and implement automated workflows, triage playbooks, and ticket taxonomies to improve response consistency.
  • Oversee compliance with safety protocols, site rules, and documentation requirements for high-risk work activities.
  • Conduct post-incident reviews to identify durable design and process changes that reduce risk across the fleet.
  • Mentor and coach technicians on advanced power distribution practices, hardware interventions, and professional etiquette.
  • Perform physical tasks including rack/stack operations, structured cabling, and equipment installation in a mission-critical environment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent work experience.
  • 3 to 5+ years of total experience required for the role.
  • 2 to 5 years of data center experience is preferred; 4 years for development is preferred.
  • Leadership experience managing at least 10 people in a quickly changing environment is required.
  • Proficiency in systems administration (Linux/Windows), hardware repair, and networking fundamentals like DNS and TCP/IP.
  • Expertise in data center design, including electrical/cooling plants, airflow management, and structured cabling for fiber and copper.
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb a 9 ft. ladder, and stand for up to 12 hours.
  • Must be able to read, write, and speak English.
