You keep the machines running

We are looking for a Datacenter Hardware Technician to keep the physical infrastructure behind our AI research running in Barrie, ON. You will work hands-on with the latest NVIDIA GPUs, thousands of disks, terabit networking and hundreds of Supermicro servers — racking them, repairing them, keeping firmware current, and making sure every machine that should be online is online.

Our researchers train models around the clock, so the difference between a good day and a bad one is often a technician who noticed a marginal cable, logged a serial number correctly, or caught a failing drive before it took a training job down with it. This is careful, methodical work, and we treat it that way.

This role is for our Barrie datacenter. You must live within 50 km of the site, such that you can be onsite on short notice. Workload can be bursty, i.e. periods of smooth sailing mixed with periods of intense work during hardware failures, upgrade and maintenance cycles.
