Job Description Job Description The role You turn new capacity into production-ready racks. You design how servers, switches and power land in each cabinet, then direct our techs and colo remote hands to build it exactly that way. This is a hands-on engineering role, not a dispatch desk. You own rack elevations, cabling plans and port maps, and you are the one who signs off that a build is correct before it goes to provisioning. Expect a mix of planning at a desk, working with vendors and remote hands across a dozen sites, and time on the data center floor. What you'll do Plan new rack and cage build-outs: rack elevations, power distribution across A+B feeds, airflow and weight within each cabinet's limits Produce cabling plans, port maps and labeling standards for copper, fiber and DACs, and keep them current as builds change Write clear method-of-procedure (MOP) documents and work orders for remote hands and contractors, then verify their work against the plan Coordinate deliveries, staging, burn-in and handoff of new servers to our provisioning platform Deploy and cable top-of-rack and out-of-band networks (Arista and Juniper), working with our network engineers on uplinks and IPMI/iDRAC access Bring high-density GPU servers online, including power budgeting Track hardware inventory, spares and RMAs across sites, and own the data center's source of truth for what sits where Work with colocation providers on space, power, cross-connects and access, and travel to sites for builds that need you on the floor Improve our deployment standards so each new rack goes up faster and with fewer errors than the last What you bring 5+ years deploying servers and network gear in data centers or colocation facilities Strong command of structured cabling: single-mode and multimode fiber, MPO/MTP, DACs and AOCs, and the optics that go with them (SR, LR, DR, FR) Working knowledge of data center power: 208V single and three-phase circuits, A+B redundancy, PDUs and load balancing across banks/phases Experience writing rack elevations and cabling documentation Comfort with server hardware: BMC/IPMI, RAID, NICs, firmware updates and basic hardware troubleshooting Basic networking: VLANs, link aggregation, switch port configuration Clear written communication, especially with remote hands and vendors Ability to travel to sites roughly 25% of the time and lift 50 lb Nice to have Hands-on time with Arista EOS or Junos Familiarity with bare metal provisioning (PXE/iPXE, Tinkerbell, MAAS or similar) Experience with a DCIM or source-of-truth tool such as NetBox Scripting in Python or Bash to automate inventory, labeling or validation Prior work at a hosting provider, cloud provider or carrier Rackdog is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status. Company Description Rackdog provides bare metal servers for businesses to scale their applications reliably, affordably, and globally.
