What are the responsibilities and job description for the Datacenter Operations Manager position at Two Barrels LLC?
Two Barrels is looking to hire a Data Center Operations Manager. What does that mean here? It means you’re the person making sure our racks are happy, our boxes are breathing right, and our people aren’t crying in the server room.
Do you think servers have their own personality? “Uh oh, looks like Jerry is getting all wheezy again” or “Why does Jimmy have to be such a whiner?”. You also listened to Egon when he said don’t cross the streams and know how that applies here.
You probably also have that label maker handy. If this is all making sense to you, maybe you should keep reading.
Responsibilities:
- Making sure our data center infrastructure runs like a dream—power, cooling, servers, networks, security, the works
- Leading a small-but-mighty team of systems engineers who know their stuff (but appreciate a solid manager who helps clear roadblocks)
- Being the go-to human for infrastructure issues, scaling, and improvements
- Planning for capacity growth
- Working closely with our dev teams to make sure what they build doesn’t set anything on fire
- Handling vendors, procurement, and warranties
- Getting your hands dirty... servers can be dusty
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience)
- Have years of data center ops experience and know the difference between a patch panel and a panic attack
- You also have years of professional management experience in this type of field
- Professional experience managing daily data center operations and IT infrastructure
- Can explain RAID to your 3 year old niece
- Think uptime is a personal challenge
- Troubleshoot most things without having to call someone else
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in WordPress hosting
- Experience running large scale enterprises in a data center
- Past experience participating in the building of a data center
- Experience with hardware scaling
Why you might like this job:
You want to get the experience of building a data center. Developing a team. Solve problems.
In short, you want to pull off something pretty cool.
