About the jobAs a Hardware Operations Manager, you will manage a team of Data Center Technicians. You will oversee the quality installation of server hardware and components and take charge of complicated installations/troubleshooting.
Your team will install, configure, test, troubleshoot and maintain hardware (like servers and its components) and server software (like Google's Linux cluster). They will also take on the configuration of more complex components such as networks, routers, hubs, bridges, switches and networking protocols. They may lead small project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency plans.
As a Server Operations Manager, you'll lead a team of skilled Data Center Technicians who are the backbone of this operation. You'll guide the team in the installation and maintenance of server hardware, networking equipment, and their components, all while troubleshooting challenges head-on. The team will be skilled in configuring and maintaining not just servers, but the entire network ecosystem - routers, switches, and the protocols that connect them all. You'll assist and ensure complex projects are navigated by removing road blocks and developing plans to keep things running efficiently.
In this role, you'll be key to the success of the data center, proactively monitoring performance, anticipating potential issues, and collaborating closely with the area lead, site manager, peer OMs, and partnering teams like DCOps, Security, and GSO-L to ensure optimal operational efficiency.
