Data Center Engineer

Data Centre Operations Engineer – AI / GPU InfrastructureParis-Saclay | €80,000 + 30% bonus | Permanent | On-siteWe’re supporting the rapid expansion of a major new AI infrastructure operation in Paris-Saclay and are looking for Data Centre Operations Engineers to join a growing engineering team.This is a large-scale, high-density compute environment built around the latest generation of GPU infrastructure. The operation uses modern direct liquid cooling and high-density power distribution, creating an opportunity to work with technology that is still relatively rare across conventional data centres.Several engineers are being hired, so we’re interested in different levels of experience. You might be an experienced Data Centre Engineer with strong technical depth, or a hands-on engineer looking to develop further into AI and GPU infrastructure.What you'll be doingDeploying, maintaining and troubleshooting data-centre hardwareServer and GPU hardware break/fix and component replacementRack installation, cabling and hardware configurationResponding to hardware incidents against demanding customer SLAsSupporting high-density compute infrastructureWorking around direct liquid cooling and chilled-water systemsSupporting high-density power distribution and busbar systemsFirmware upgrades and hardware fault isolationMaintaining accurate infrastructure and capacity recordsWorking closely with HPC, network and infrastructure engineering teamsWhat we're looking forYou should have genuine hands-on experience working within a data-centre, HPC or similarly high-density compute environment.Experience in any of the following would be particularly interesting:Data-centre operations and maintenanceServer hardware installation and break/fixGPU or HPC infrastructureNVIDIA hardwareHigh-density compute environmentsDirect liquid cooling (DLC)CDUs and chilled-water coolingHVAC within data-centre environmentsBusbar / busway power distributionHyperscale or colocation data centresYou do not need experience across all of these areas. Strong conventional data-centre engineers who are genuinely interested in developing into AI infrastructure are encouraged to apply.We're particularly interested in engineers who demonstrate genuine technical curiosity. AI infrastructure is developing quickly, so we'd like to meet people who actively learn about the technology rather than simply operate what's already in front of them.RequirementsFluent FrenchEnglish to B2 level or aboveExisting right to work in FranceAble to work on-site in Paris-SaclayNo visa sponsorship or relocation support is availablePackage€80,000 base salary DoE + 30% bonusThere may be flexibility for exceptional candidates with particularly relevant GPU, high-density compute or liquid-cooling expertise.This is an opportunity to join an engineering team at an early stage of a substantial AI infrastructure expansion, working directly with some of the newest GPU, cooling and high-density data-centre technologies.
