Lead Technical Operations​/Team Lead; Hosting & Colocatie Regio

Position: Lead Technical Operations / Team Lead (Hosting & Colocatie) – Regio
Are you an all-round infrastructure specialist ready to take full operational and technical ownership? Do you want to lead a stable, highly profitable platform, manage a junior team member, and escape the red tape of giant corporate machines? This is your opportunity.

About the organization
We are an established and financially healthy provider of unmanaged dedicated servers and managed colocation. With 20+ years of experience, our own network running behind our own   ASN , and a loyal customer base of developers and hosting companies, we are known for stability and a no-nonsense approach. Following a successful company sale in early 2026, the founder is scaling back operational tasks and is looking for a reliable technical heavyweight to run daily operations autonomously.

What you will do
In this role, you will be  fully responsible for the operational and technical end-results  delivered to our clients. You will act as the primary contact for our large key accounts and direct daily workflows. As a working lead, you combine high-level network management and client communication with the leadership of  one onsite employee  in Amsterdam who supports you in daily remote/physical tasks.

Network &

Infrastructure:  Manage and optimize our core network. Maintain uptime and act as Level 3 escalation for complex network or hardware incidents.

Language:  Fluency in both  Dutch  and  English  is a hard requirement (due to our Dutch client base).

Deep, proven experience with  Linux (various distributions)  and basic knowledge of Windows Server.

Strong networking knowledge (routing/switching). Experience in a multi-vendor environment ( Arista and/or Juniper ) is a big plus, but mastering the technology behind an ASN is what matters most.

You enjoy taking full responsibility while  guiding and growing one junior colleague .

Based in the Haarlem/Amsterdam area, discreet, and willing to undergo a thorough background check and  VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct)  procedure due to sensitive core access.

What we offer

Salary:  A solid base salary starting from  € 6,000.

- gross per month  (depending on experience).

Lucrative Bonus Structure:  A direct result-driven bonus based on  revenue retention and growth . If the platform grows through your account management, your bonus grows with it. (Management guards the OPEX/costs; you focus entirely on top-line and client satisfaction).

Workplace:  A great base at our office in  Haarlem  and local datacenters. Partial  remote work is flexibly negotiable  once you are fully up to speed.

Autonomy:  Maximum freedom to shape operations your way, with direct lines to management.
