• Work closely with the data center technicians on site.
• Coordinate with our 2nd/3rd level team in Münster via Slack (remote hands, troubleshooting, status updates).

Qualifikation

• Must‑have:
  • Hands‑on experience with server hardware (builds / swaps / repairs) — junior profiles welcome.
  • Solid basics in Debian Linux .
  • First experience with Proxmox (setup / basic understanding / common tasks).
  • Structured and reliable working style (inventory/warehouse/documentation).
  • Driver’s license (Class B) and mobility.
  • Good internal communication skills (team + data center staff).
• Nice‑to‑have:
  • Basic exposure to Juniper (very rudimentary is enough).
  • Basic English and/or German skills.

Benefits

• 30 days of vacation .
• Salary negotiable .
• Classic Mon–Fri schedule.
• Weekend/emergency work is optional (by agreement + compensation).
• Occasional work from home possible (e.g. documentation/planning).
• Our own office inside the data center in Eygelshoven incl. on‑site warehouse .
• 3 monitors per workstation + air‑conditioned workspace .
• Flat hierarchies, young team, lots of room to improve and shape processes.

Start: as soon as possible.
