Senior Data Center Technician

About the role

Verda builds a full-stack AI cloud, from data centers and hardware to its own cloud platform used by leading AI teams. Its sites run high-density GPU infrastructure around the clock, and it is looking for a senior technician for an on-site, 8-hour shift rotation covering 24/7 operations. This is a hands-on individual contributor role in the shift team, based in Riga.

Key responsibilities

• Install, configure and maintain GPU servers, storage systems, networking equipment and structured cabling, including high-density and liquid-cooled deployments.
• Diagnose and repair complex hardware faults on enterprise GPU servers, including component-level troubleshooting, RMA handling and root-cause analysis.
• Perform rack and stack, copper and fibre cabling and hardware refresh work to a high quality standard.
• Troubleshoot link-level network faults, from cable and transceiver testing through to isolating the failure, including fibre optics work for switch integration.
• Monitor data center environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and power, and respond to alerts during shifts.
• Contribute hands-on to build-outs, migrations and refresh projects as the site grows.
• Write and improve the site's SOPs and procedures, and mentor junior and mid-level technicians.

Required profile

• 3+ years of progressive data center or IT infrastructure experience, with significant hands-on hardware time.
• Ability and willingness to work on-site; comfortable with ambiguity and a broad scope of work.
• Nice to have: experience with liquid cooling (DLC loops), enterprise GPU servers (NVIDIA Ampere, Hopper or Blackwell) and switch integration, and hands-on experience with large cluster deployments or data hall build-outs.

Required skills

• Strong hardware competency: break/fix, component replacement (drives, fans, PSUs, motherboards, CPUs) and rack and stack.
• Strong diagnostic skills, able to isolate faults across compute, cabling and network links without a script.
• Copper and fibre cabling and fibre optics work; device configuration is not expected.

What we offer

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