Junior Data Center Technician

About the role

Verda builds a full-stack AI cloud, from data centres and hardware to its own cloud platform used by leading AI teams. Its sites run high-density GPU infrastructure around the clock, so the physical layer must always be right. As a Junior Data Center Technician in Riga you will build hands-on skills on real production hardware alongside experienced technicians on the shift team. This is an all-rounder role covering hardware, cabling and general site operations, with a clear path to grow.

Key responsibilities

• Install and maintain servers, storage systems, networking equipment and structured cabling alongside more experienced technicians.
• Replace failed hardware components such as drives, fans, PSUs, motherboards and CPUs.
• Rack and stack servers, switches and supporting equipment.
• Install, route and label copper and fibre cabling.
• Test cable and fibre links and help trace faults to the failing component.
• Handle general site operations, from receiving and inventorying hardware to physical site checks.

Required profile

• Some hands-on technical or operations experience in a data centre, a comparable critical environment or an adjacent technical trade.
• Demonstrated aptitude for hardware work, comfortable with component-level tasks and rack and stack.
• A methodical approach to faults and operational discipline: escalating when unsure rather than improvising.
• Ability and willingness to work an on-site shift rotation covering 24/7 operations.
• Nice to have: exposure to liquid cooling or GPU hardware, and interest in fibre optics and link-level troubleshooting.

What we offer

• Cash and equity compensation along with local benefits.
• Full-time, permanent employment.
• On-site work in an 8-hour shift rotation.
