Job description

Company Overview

Reboot Monkey is a global datacenter services provider headquartered in Haarlem, Netherlands, operating 24 green‑powered facilities across 6 continents. We deliver colocation, IP transit, smart hands, remote hands, and managed datacenter services to clients worldwide. We're a lean, remote‑first team building the infrastructure backbone of the internet.

About The Role

This is the most important hire we are making right now.

Currently, our CEO handles all datacenter operations personally: ticket triage, Smart Hands dispatch, SLA tracking, technician coordination, client status updates. That needs to change so the company can grow. You are the person who takes that over.

This is not a passive "monitor the dashboard" role. You will be the first point of contact for every operational request that comes in — from Smart Hands dispatch at a facility in Singapore to an emergency remote hands call from a client in Germany. You need to be fast, precise, and calm under pressure.

Day‑to‑day you will:

• Receive and triage incoming service requests (Smart Hands, Remote Hands, emergency incidents)
• Dispatch field technicians from our global DCT pool to the correct facility with the correct instructions
• Track SLA windows per ticket and per client — you own the clock
• Communicate status updates to clients while work is in progress
• Maintain the ticketing system (Freshdesk)
• Coordinate directly with facility operators at all 24 locations
• Submit a shift handover report at the end of every shift
• Escalate P1 incidents to the CEO with a clear situation summary within 15 minutes

What You’ll Own (KPIs)

• P1 ticket response time: 15 minutes or less (first 30 days: 30 minutes)
• P2 ticket response time: 2 hours or less (first 30 days: 4 hours)
• Dispatch completion rate: 95%+ of tickets closed within the contracted SLA window
• Shift handover report: Submitted every shift end, posted in the ops handover channel
• SLA compliance rate: 98%+ monthly

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in a datacenter, MSP, or NOC environment — non‑negotiable
• Hands‑on experience with ticket triage and helpdesk operations (ServiceNow, Jira Service Desk, Freshdesk, Zendesk)
• Fluent written and spoken English
• Available to work during local business hours in UTC+5 to UTC+8
• Comfortable handling escalations and staying calm under pressure
• Ability to track multiple open tickets simultaneously

Nice to Haves

• Familiarity with DCIM tools
• Experience with cPanel/WHM or similar
• Basic networking knowledge: BGP, DNS, IP routing
• ITIL Foundation certification
• Experience writing runbooks or SOPs

Compensation and Terms

• Monthly retainer: EUR 1,000–1,200 depending on experience
• Arrangement: Freelance / contractor — you invoice us monthly
• Hours: Full‑time, 40 hours/week tracked via Hubstaff
• Performance reviews: Every 2 weeks for the first 3 months, then monthly
• Payment: Monthly, on the 5th of each month

Timezone Requirement

UTC+5 to UTC+8 required. Pakistan, India, Philippines, Malaysia. Your working hours must provide overlap with European business hours (9 AM–1 PM CET) while also covering APAC client activity. This is a hard requirement.

How We Hire

• Application review — within 1–2 business days
• Initial video call with Michel (CEO) — 30 minutes
• Paid trial task — 4–8 hour SLA simulation: 5 mock support tickets at varying priority levels, triage, draft client responses, create dispatch plan. EUR 50–100.
• Reference check
• Decision — within 1 week of trial

Why This Role Matters

You will be the first person to handle operations so Michel can focus on growing the business. You are not just filling a role — you are building a department. Within 6 months, you will have the opportunity to help hire and train a second coordinator and begin building a structured operations team.
