Required Data Center Technician III
About the job
We arn't just a software company. The Hardware Operations team is responsible for monitoring the state-of-the-art physical infrastructure behind our powerful search technology. As an Operations Technician, you'll install, configure, test, troubleshoot and maintain hardware (like servers and its components) and server software (like our Linux cluster). You'll also take on the configuration of more complex components such as networks, routers, hubs, bridges, switches and networking protocols. You'll participate in or lead small project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency plans. A typical day involves manual movement and installation of racks, and while it can sometimes be physically demanding, you are excited to work with infrastructure that is at the cutting-edge of computer technology.
Responsibilities
Deploy and operate new data center infrastructure across teams.
Report issues and follow data center procedures to troubleshoot and diagnose somewhat complex issues with equipment or infrastructure as they arise, and applying the resources needed to resolve identified issues.
Maintain the security and integrity of data, track various forms of media to check for non-standard data security issues (e.g., data was not properly erased) handled in accordance with our security standards.
Disassemble specific equipment that has reached its end-of-life via part replacement or maintenance, within one or more teams.
Repair, fix, and perform preventative maintenance on equipment, servers, machines, or infrastructure based on identified issues with multiple solutions, independently.
