Job Overview Le Québécois: Ingénieur senior en opérations de centre de données Aperçu Du Poste: L’ingénieur senior en opérations de centre de données joue un rôle clé et très pratique dans le déploiement et l’exploitation à long terme d’un environnement de centre de données haute performance à grande échelle, supportant du calcul avancé et des infrastructures complexes.

Ce poste s’adresse à un ingénieur expérimenté possédant une expertise approfondie en matériel serveur, systèmes Linux et opérations de centre de données, dans des environnements qui exigent une haute disponibilité, de la précision et de la performance. Tu contribueras dès la phase initiale de déploiement, en supportant la mise en service de l’infrastructure, la validation et la préparation du matériel. Par la suite, lorsque l’environnement sera en mode stable, tu prendras en charge la fiabilité continue, le dépannage avancé et les initiatives d’amélioration continue.

Ce rôle demande un solide esprit d’opération — quelqu’un qui s’épanouit dans des environnements complexes et critiques pour la production et qui met l’accent sur la résolution des problèmes à la source. Tu agiras comme principal point d’escalade technique et travailleras en étroite collaboration avec les équipes d’ingénierie et d’infrastructure pour assurer la stabilité et la performance des systèmes.

Ce poste s’exerce principalement en anglais, en raison des interactions fréquentes avec des équipes interfonctionnelles globales et de l’utilisation de documentation technique en anglais.

Ce rôle permet de couvrir à la fois les phases de déploiement et d’opérations, offrant une exposition à des environnements d’infrastructure modernes à grande échelle, ainsi qu’un chemin clair vers des rôles techniques avancés ou en ingénierie.
