Role
We are looking for a Senior Staff Data Center Operations (DCO) Engineer to join our team. This is a Hybrid role, reporting to the Datacenter Deployment Manager in the Network Infrastructure department. In this role, you will expand and optimize our global cloud security network by staging, provisioning, and maintaining high-performance bare metal hardware and infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to validate build activities, troubleshoot complex staging environments, and continuously improve deployment processes.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
-
Provision new hardware and network devices in a staging environment to expand and supplement the global network
-
Troubleshoot issues within the build environment and repair or replace server and network components and infrastructure
-
Collaborate with maintenance, network, install, and platform engineering teams to execute and validate build activities
-
Engage and assist in optimizing data center deployment processes and workflows

Who You Are (Success Profile)
-
You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
-
You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
-
You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
-
You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
-
You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
-
Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
-
7-10 years experience working in a hardware automation or build environment
-
Experience translating cloud workload to bare metal platform requirements
-
Deep understanding of various types of servers, network devices, configurations, and physical connectivity and their influence on platform performance
-
Experience with Linux/Unix command line, BIOS, and out-of-band management solutions such as ILO, SAA, iDRAC, and IPMI
-
Ability to occasionally lift and carry up to 50 lbs
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
-
Experience leveraging AI-driven predictive telemetry or automation tools to optimize hardware diagnostics and data center provisioning workflows
