About TensorWave
Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Data Center Manager to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the 24/7 availability, security, and efficiency of our data center environment, working closely with cross-functional partners to support business objectives while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact.
This is an evergreen requisition. We review applications on a rolling basis and will consider you for current openings across all of our sites, as well as future opportunities as we continue to scale.
What You’ll Do
People Management: Lead, mentor, and schedule a team of 8 Data Center Technicians, fostering a culture of technical excellence and accountability.
Performance Tracking: Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and skill-gap assessments to ensure the team stays ahead of evolving technologies (e.g., liquid cooling, AI-optimized racking).
Workflow Optimization: Oversee the Inventory/RMA Specialist to ensure hardware replacement cycles are lean and that "dead on arrival" (DOA) equipment is processed with minimal downtime.
Infrastructure Oversight: Manage the installation, cabling, and decommissioning of server, storage, and networking hardware.
Uptime Management: Act as the primary escalation point for data center incidents, coordinating emergency repairs and root cause analysis (RCA).
Capacity Planning: Monitor power, cooling, and space utilization. Partner with the Director to forecast future growth and avoid "stranded capacity."
Vendor Management: Supervise third-party contractors (HVAC, Electrical, Security) to ensure maintenance is performed without disrupting operations.
Asset Management: Ensure 100% accuracy in the DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) database.
Security & Safety: Enforce strict physical security protocols and OSHA safety standards.
Audit Readiness: Lead the facility through SOC2, ISO, or HIPAA compliance audits by maintaining pristine documentation and procedural logs.
