About The Position

Behind every always‑on digital experience is a data center operating at full speed—24/7. When servers fail, cables go bad, or systems start throwing errors, it’s the technician on the floor who makes the difference. Not by guessing. Not by swapping parts blindly. But by thinking through the problem, isolating the issue, and fixing it the right way. We’re building a team of Level 2 Data Center Technicians who want to be trusted with real responsibility. This is not a remote‑hands role. It’s a hands‑on, technically challenging position supporting both new infrastructure buildouts and live production environments. If you enjoy troubleshooting, working with servers, and being the person others rely on when things break—you’ll fit right in. This is a great opportunity to work for a leader in AI and Robotics! This role blends true break/fix troubleshooting with installation and deployment work, keeping every day dynamic and engaging.
