Job Description

Job Summary

Senior hands-on engineer who leads break-fix and critical-incident response across customer data centers. Fixes the hard problems, runs the bridge during outages, and makes sure failures don't repeat.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead break-fix and critical-incident response on-site—triage, troubleshoot, and resolve.
  • Act as a technical lead on Sev-1/major-incident bridges; coordinate field engineers, TAC, OEM vendors, and the customer until it's closed.
  • Work hands-on across servers, storage, network hardware, structured cabling (copper/fiber/MPO), power/PDU, and rack & stack.
  • Run RCA on major incidents and close the corrective actions so the same fault doesn't recur.
  • Support hardware replacements, upgrades, and migrations.
  • Document fixes and keep runbooks/SOPs current so the team resolves faster next time.
  • Mentor field engineers on tougher diagnostics.

Education & Experience

  • 5–8 years of hands-on data center/infrastructure field experience; 3+ years in break-fix (enterprise or hyperscale).
  • Strong troubleshooting across server, network, cabling, and power — with good judgment on when to escalate.
  • Able to own a Sev-1 bridge under pressure with the customer on the line.
  • Working knowledge of ServiceNow / Jira ticketing.
  • A degree is helpful, not required—field experience counts.
  • CCNA, CDCP, or ITIL Foundation.
  • Hyperscale site experience.

Required Skills

  • On-call rotation / shift coverage — incidents don't keep business hours.
  • 20% travel within the region.
  • On-site physical work — lifting and racking equipment, data center floor conditions.
  • Site badging / background checks for hyperscale customers.

Performance Metrics

  • RCAs completed and corrective actions closed.
  • Repeat incidents are reduced on your accounts.
  • Escalation speed and quality.
  • Runbooks/SOPs were contributed and used.
  • Shared team scorecard: MTTR, first-time-fix rate, CSAT.
