## About the Role

* Hands-on Linux experience including command-line proficiency and system log analysis
 * Practical understanding of networking concepts: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, and diagnostic tools (ping, traceroute, netstat, tcpdump)
 * Ability to independently diagnose technical issues and exercise sound judgment in ambiguous situations
 * Clear, precise communication skills with strong technical documentation ability
 * Availability to work overnight and rotating shifts in a 24/7 environment

Ideal Experience

 * Experience with Grafana, Datadog, or Prometheus
 * Familiarity with HPC or GPU-based infrastructure
 * Scripting experience in Bash or Python

## Description

You will serve as the first line of technical response - analyzing telemetry signals, diagnosing system anomalies, and troubleshooting Linux and network-layer issues before escalating with clear, actionable findings. You will operate with a high degree of independence, applying sound judgment in situations that often extend beyond predefined runbooks.

This role offers a clear pathway toward positions in network engineering, site reliability, or data center operations, and the opportunity work with next-generation AI hardware and some of the most advanced compute infrastructure deployed today.

This role is based onsite at one of our data center facilities in Lisle, IL; Fort Worth, TX; or Quincy, WA. Shift flexibility is required to support our 24/7 operations environment. We are not able to provide visa sponsorship for this position at this time.
What You'll Do

 * Monitor data center systems using telemetry data, dashboards, and alerting tools to detect anomalies and emerging issues
 * Perform independent technical diagnosis across Linux systems, network connectivity, and hardware health using command-line tools, logs, and diagnostic utilities
 * Troubleshoot network-layer issues including connectivity, routing, and interface errors
 * Triage and escalate incidents to the appropriate teams (hardware, network, SRE) with technically accurate summaries, relevant logs, and telemetry findings
 * Create and maintain detailed tickets documenting diagnostic steps, technical findings, and observed system behavior
 * Identify recurring alert patterns through telemetry analysis and surface findings to improve monitoring coverage and reliability

What You'll Need
