Data Center Engineering is the process of designing, building, and maintaining data centers, which are facilities used to house and manage critical IT infrastructure, applications, and data. Data center engineers ensure the data center infrastructure's stability, reliability, and security. They are crucial in supporting the availability and performance of applications and services. This involves the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of the physical infrastructure of a data center, including server, switching, and associated hardware. The Senior Manager of Data Center Operations will lead a team of engineers to maintain the operational health, reliability, and hardware lifecycle management across LinkedIn’s data center environment. This leader will own day‑to-day operations, technician workflows, incident response, vendor execution, and standards that ensure our data centers deliver industry‑leading uptime and performance. A successful candidate will oversee teams responsible for hardware deployment, break/fix, server installation, cabling, staging, audits, preventive maintenance, and on‑site operational excellence. This leader will also drive KPI‑based improvements, operational consistency across sites, and scalable processes that support accelerating compute demand. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team. This role will can be based in one of our data center locations: Santa Clara (CA), Hillsboro (OR), Richardson (TX), Manassas (VA).
