About

The Role

Reboot Monkey operates 24 datacenter facilities across 6 continents. Every one of those facilities needs reliable, skilled Data Center Technicians (DCTs) who can execute Smart Hands and Remote Hands work to our standard. The quality of our DCT pool is the single biggest factor determining whether clients stay or leave.

Your job is to build and maintain a world-class DCT pool. You are not a generic recruiter — you need to deeply understand what makes a great datacenter technician. You know the difference between someone who can rack a server properly and someone who will strip a screw on the first try. You can tell from a conversation whether a candidate has real hands-on DC experience or is padding their resume.

This role requires someone who has either worked as a DCT or managed DCTs directly. You must know the work inside and out — structured cabling, cross-connects, hardware installs, decommissions, labeling standards, hot/cold aisle management. If you don't know what a rollover console cable is, this role is not for you.
