Diabolocom builds AI-first, cloud-native contact center infrastructure designed for high availability, low latency, and global scale. As both a software provider and a telecom operator, we combine a fully owned carrier-grade voice backbone with a programmable CCaaS platform that supports real-time, high-volume communications across 60+ countries.

Our architecture integrates proprietary AI models purpose-built for customer interactions and covers data enrichment, intent detection, call summarization, transcription, quality scoring, workflow automation and more. These services run on a modular, service-oriented stack accessible through APIs and engineered for multi-language, multi-region deployments.

We operate a distributed infrastructure optimized for deterministic performance, observability, and resilience, supported by deep CRM integrations, intelligent routing engines, and a high-throughput outbound dialer that enables sub-second decisioning.

A dedicated Diabolocom Research team keeps us at the forefront of technological innovation, designing new proprietary systems - from advanced AI pipelines to telecom optimization - that help our clients gain a competitive advantage in the market.

With more than 20 years of telecom and software engineering experience, Diabolocom offers engineers the opportunity to build and scale enterprise-grade systems that blend AI, cloud infrastructure, and mission-critical communications.

About The Role: 🧑‍💻

We’re looking for a System Administrator to join Diabolocom’s Infrastructure team in Paris. This is a hybrid role combining internal IT/infrastructure support and data center operations. You’ll work closely with network engineers and SREs, helping us scale and maintain our physical infrastructure as we migrate to Kubernetes-based setup using Dragonfly network topology and high-end hardware (e.g., AMD EPYC Turin, recent generation network hardware).

The role is perfect for someone early to mid-career, technically curious, and passionate about hardware, infrastructure, staying up to date with the latest trends in servers, GPUs, and networking gear.

Work Schedule: ⏰

Because part of the work involves data center operations performed outside of business hours, the role includes planned evening and night interventions, typically up to two times per week.

Most maintenance windows currently start between 22:00 and midnight and usually finish between 01:00 and 03:00, but can take up to the morning in rare cases.

When night work is not required during a given week, working time is rebalanced with regular daytime presence in the office, ensuring a standard weekly workload in line with French labor regulations.

Given the expected number of night hours, the position is classified as a night worker role under applicable labor regulations and Diabolocom’s internal policies. Appropriate rest periods and compensations are provided accordingly.

Occasional company-paid travel to Germany may be required to support infrastructure deployment projects, particularly data center setup in the Frankfurt area, including hardware installation, connectivity setup, and testing.

What You’ll Do: 🛠️

Data Center Operations

  • Support deployment and maintenance of hardware in our data centers (maintaining ZIP, proactively finding replacement for failing components, troubleshooting hardware issues)
  • Handle cabling, racking, and hardware troubleshooting
  • Perform upgrades and hardware testing (CPU/GPU, storage, network devices)
  • Be on-site for planned maintenance or incident response.

Internal IT/Infrastructure Support:

  • Set up workstations and laptops for new hires
  • Support office network, hardware, and internal IT operations (basic system or access issues, account management, inventory management etc.)
  • Assist in hardware procurement, evaluation, and improvements (researching on specifications, finding options, validating with HoI, handing to accounting team to buy)
  • Collaborate closely with the Infrastructure team on ongoing migration to Kubernetes and Ceph
  • Stay up to date with hardware trends and propose improvements.

Who You Are: 🌟

  • Engineering or technical background
  • Based in Île-de-France and available for on-site work
  • Comfortable with evening/night shifts; the role carries night worker status
  • Willing to travel to Germany for occasional paid infrastructure deployments
  • Fluent in English
  • Passionate about infrastructure, networks, and hardware
  • Hands-on, fast learner, and a true geek - you might have a home lab, built your own NAS, or experimented with servers/networks in your spare time.

Nice To Have: ✨

Previous experience in a similar role:

  • Datacenter Operations Specialist
  • Network Engineer
  • System Administrator
  • Technical Support Specialist

Familiarity with:

  • Basic networking (cabling, switches, IP configs)
  • Linux environments
  • Virtualization or containerization (VMs, Docker, etc.)
  • Understanding of server components (CPU, RAM, SSD, GPU) and their compatibility
  • Windows/Mac ecosystem in order to troubleshoot and fix users’ issues.

Why Join Us: 🚀

  • You’ll benefit from a complete onboarding to get to know our product, our teams and our culture
  • You’ll have a first choice IT equipment
  • Lunch vouchers : 11 €/day on your Swile card
  • Team building events to destinations like Porquerolles, Corsica, Marrakech, Djerba... 😎
  • Work on cutting-edge infrastructure projects
  • Be part of a fast-growing international team
  • Gain exposure to cloud-native technologies (Kubernetes, Ceph, Dragonfly)
  • Real ownership and learning opportunities - this is not a corporate helpdesk job 🚀
  • Opportunity to grow into a more specialized or senior role over time.

Does this opportunity appeal to you? Let’s talk! We’d love to hear your story!

Recruitment Process: 🤝

  • Intro call with our Talent Acquisition Manager
  • Interview with our Head of Infrastructure
  • Call/On-Site Interview with our Infrastructure Team (to meet your future colleagues)

At Diabolocom, diversity and inclusion are in our DNA. All qualified applicants will receive equal consideration for employment without regard to color, language, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or social origin, opinion, disability, age.
