Server and Datacenter Engineer

At NovoServe we are looking for an enthusiastic Server and Datacenter Engineer. Do you enjoy working with server and network hardware and do you get energy from detecting and solving malfunctions? Then you might be the person we are looking for!

About NovoServe

NovoServe provides hosted dedicated servers to its customers from multiple datacenters in the Netherlands. We are a fast-growing company with an informal atmosphere and international ambitions. We strongly focus on automation, in order to scale quickly and optimally serve our customers. To enable our rapid growth, we develop our own systems for IaaS services. For example, we build our own systems to manage thousands of servers and offer our own API, enabling our customers to use our services more easily and faster.

Core of the role

As a Server and Datacenter Engineer you will be responsible for building, installing, and delivering our servers. You will also ensure that everything runs smoothly by managing our racks, connecting cabling, and laying fiber optic cables.

• receiving and handling notifications from customers and colleagues;
• inventory management;
• documenting, registering, and keeping documentation up to date;
