Ready to power the backbone of tomorrow’s digital infrastructure without leaving your home office? We’re seeking a skilled Datacenter Technician who thrives in a virtual environment, delivering flawless hardware support and rapid incident resolution for a global client base.

About the Role

As a Remote Datacenter Technician, you will be the first line of defense for our state‑of‑the‑art data centers spread across North America, Europe, and APAC. Leveraging secure VPN access and remote management tools, you’ll install, configure, and troubleshoot servers, storage arrays, networking equipment, and power‑distribution units. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities include:

• Performing remote hardware diagnostics and firmware upgrades on servers (Dell, HPE, Cisco, Lenovo).
• Coordinating on‑site vendor visits when physical intervention is required, while maintaining detailed ticket documentation.

• Collaborating with Cloud Operations, Security, and Engineering teams to implement patches, capacity expansions, and disaster‑recovery drills.
• Creating and maintaining run‑books, SOPs, and knowledge‑base articles for remote troubleshooting.

Why This Position Is 100% Remote

All tasks are performed through secure, encrypted connections to our data‑center management platform. You’ll receive a company‑provided laptop, dual‑monitor setup, and a stipend for a high‑speed internet connection, ensuring you have the same tools as on‑site staff. No commuting, no relocation—just pure technical focus from the comfort of your home office.
