As a Junior Data Center Operations Technician in the Hardware and Bare Metal team at i3D.net, you’ll grow to be the hands-on expert ensuring the smooth operation of our global datacenter hardware. From installing and troubleshooting to maintaining and upgrading (move-add-change-delete), your work directly impacts the performance and reliability of the infrastructure powering some of the world’s largest gaming companies. If you’re someone who enjoys building PCs, experimenting with a home lab, or diving into how servers, networks, and infrastructure work behind the scenes, this role will give you the opportunity to turn that curiosity into real-world impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Hardware Setup & Maintenance:

  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot datacenter hardware, including
    servers and network gear.

  • Handle tasks like swapping servers, managing cables, and keeping racks
    organized.

  • Set up RAID configurations, work with BMC ports, and image servers
    using tools such as PXE boot, USB installation, or other system
    deployment methods.

  • Follow rack designs, learn about cooling systems, airflow management,
    and power distribution within a datacenter environment.

  • Suggest smarter ways to work, making operations faster and more
    efficient.

• Collaboration & Coordination:

  • Work with internal teams and vendors to handle deployments,
    maintenance, and new site setups.

  • Keep documentation and the knowledge base up to date with everything
    you learn.

What success looks like in the first year

• You’ve got it covered: Confidently manage installations, troubleshooting,
  and maintenance of servers, networking equipment, and supporting
  infrastructure.

• Team Player: Your contributions make things easier for everyone, and your
  ideas help the team improve.

• In the loop: You understand how our datacenter operations work, how
  servers interact with networking and virtualization layers, and how
  everything fits together to deliver high availability.

  
  About you

• Problem Solver: You enjoy troubleshooting hardware and figuring out why
  systems behave the way they do.

• Technical Know-How: You’re familiar with RAID setups, BMC ports, imaging
  servers, or have gained similar experience through work, study, or personal
  projects such as building PCs, running a home lab, or experimenting with
  virtualization platforms.

• Networking Skills: You understand networking basics such as TCP/IP, DNS,
  DHCP, connectors, cable management, and configuring SFP modules.

• Curious by Nature: You may have experimented with things like Linux,
  virtualization, Docker, NAS setups, or game server hosting and enjoy
  learning how infrastructure works behind the scenes.

• Physical Capability: You’re comfortable lifting 45kg and live within 50km of
  our Montreuil Datacenter for on-call shifts.

• Organized: You like to keep clean, detailed documentation and structure
  your workflow accordingly.

• French & English fluency: You have solid French skills for written and
  spoken communication when needed. Fluency in English is a must.

  of a rotating on-call schedule (one week every 5 weeks) with additional
  compensation; on-call duties may occur outside business hours and can
