i3D Leadership
Full-Time

At i3D.net, we provide world-class global coverage with one of the most interconnected networks in the world. Our solutions focus on low latency, zero packet loss, and unmatched scalability, enabling seamless experiences for millions of users worldwide. With dedicated support, bespoke solutions, and cutting-edge technology, we deliver reliable, cost-efficient infrastructure that empowers game developers and businesses to scale effortlessly. Partnering with major names like Nvidia, DuckDuckGo, Discord, and Ubisoft, we are shaping the future of gaming and network technology.

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.

  • Work Location & On-Call: On-site, full-time (5 days per week). You’ll be part
    of a rotating on-call schedule (one week every 5 weeks) with additional
    compensation; on-call duties may occur outside business hours and can
    often be handled remotely.
