Hardware Engineer - Data Center
Summary
Data-center field engineer owning day-to-day hardware operations for GPU compute racks at an AI infrastructure operator's Amsterdam campus — server/rack installs, structured cabling, break-fix, IPMI/Redfish remote diagnostics, ServiceNow/Jira ticketing, and on-call shifts, with periodic travel to sites in Sweden and Serbia during a live multi-country build-out.
Data Center Field Engineer - Hardware / Data Centre Operations
About the Opportunity
Our client is a fast-scaling AI infrastructure operator building out next-generation GPU compute campuses across multiple European countries, supporting some of the largest AI training and inference workloads in the region. They’re in the middle of an aggressive multi-site build-out, six deployments across four countries in six months. This role sits within the Amsterdam campus, with periodic fly-in support to newer sites during their build-out phase.
The Role
You’ll own day-to-day hardware operations for GPU compute racks across the Amsterdam campus; installs, break-fix, and troubleshooting, including commissioning new capacity as it comes online during a live, fast-moving rollout.
What You’ll Do
- Perform server/rack install, structured cabling, and hardware troubleshooting across sites.
- Support out-of-band management (IPMI/Redfish) and remote diagnostics for hardware issues
- Travel periodically to Sweden and Serbia sites to support installs or urgent issues
- Log and track work through ticketing systems (ServiceNow/Jira)
- Participate in shift/on-call coverage as required
- Work closely with SRE and network teams during new capacity bring-up
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on data-centre hardware experience: rack-and-stack, break-fix, structured cabling
- Comfort with basic Linux and out-of-band management tools
- Willingness to travel periodically to other European sites
- Ability to work independently and under time pressure during a live build-out
Nice to Have
- GPU/AI cluster hardware experience (NVIDIA DGX/HGX or similar)
- Experience in a fast-scaling or hypergrowth infrastructure environment
Why This Role
A ground-floor opportunity in one of the largest current AI infrastructure build-outs in Europe, hands-on with the newest GPU hardware generation from day one.
