From quantum applications and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and 6G innovation, our solutions empower critical decisions rooted in human intelligence. Operating at the forefront of aerospace and space, cybersecurity and digital identity, we’re driven by a mission to build a future we can all trust.\nIn Singapore, Thales has been a trusted partner since 1973, originally focused on aerospace activities in the Asia-Pacific region. With 2,000 employees across three local sites, we deliver cutting-edge solutions across aerospace (including air traffic management), defence and security, and digital identity and cybersecurity sectors. Together, we’re shaping the future by enabling customers to make pivotal decisions that safeguard communities and power progress.Summary\nHelp build and operate the physical backbone of Thales' global infrastructure.\nThales maintains a growing global footprint of Points of Presence (POPs) supporting our production infrastructure and connectivity. Our global DC Provisioning team, with engineers across three regions, owns the provisioning excellence of the physical infrastructure and the edge circuits that support the Thales global Data Center Infrastructure.\nOur work centers on two main areas:\nHardware configuration & production readiness: Responsible for configuration of server and network infrastructure across our global data centers.\nCircuit provisioning: Full lifecycle management, from coordinating cross-connects with local vendors to configuring and enabling new edge circuits, through to disconnect.\nWe're hiring an APAC-based Data Center Provisioning Engineer to join our global, follow-the-sun team. You'll operate primarily during standard APAC business hours, with a focus on project execution, vendor management, operational excellence, and server/network infrastructure.\nResponsibilities\nPartner within the DC Provisioning team to deliver day-to-day workflow execution.\nDrive projects end to end - managing scope, timelines, risks, vendors, and cross-functional coordination through to completion.\nManage data center providers, Smart Hands, hardware vendors, and partners to ensure delivery timelines, requirements, and quality standards are met.\nLead vendor interactions, escalations, and corrective actions when delivery or execution falls short.\nResponsible for configuration of server and network infrastructure across our global data centers.\nConfigure compute hardware - Linux OS, firmware, drivers, partitioning, and related setup.\nConfigure Juniper networking hardware using industry-standard change control practices.\nUse tools like Salt, Jira, and Confluence to deliver and document high-quality work.\nCreate and Review MOPs (Methods of Procedure) and execution plans to ensure activities are thoroughly planned, documented, and ready for successful implementation.\nIdentify project and operational risks early, and communicate and drive solutions to avoid delays or production impact.\nCoordinate complex provisioning across internal teams and external partners and drive issues to resolution.\nLayer 1 physical configuration and troubleshooting of interconnections. Layer 2/3 configuration and troubleshooting with a focus on BGP\nContribute to the continuous improvement of the team's procedures, documentation, standards, and processes.\nCollaborate closely with Network Engineering, DC Operations, NOC (Network Operations Center), SRE (Site Reliability Engineering), Project Management, Business Operations, and other infrastructure teams.\nRequirements\n5+ years in Data Center Operations, Infrastructure Operations, IT Infrastructure, or a similar production environment.\nDemonstrated experience driving infrastructure projects from planning through delivery.\nVendor management experience, including managing remote work, timelines, expectations, quality, and escalations.\nSolid understanding of server and compute hardware - installation, troubleshooting, replacement, and lifecycle activities.\nWorking knowledge of data center physical infrastructure: racks, power/PDUs, cabling, optics, patch panels, console/OOB (Out-of-Band) access.\nDeep understanding of physical cross-connect provisioning and layer 1 troubleshooting, including sometimes complex inter-campus cross-connects.\nHands-on experience with Linux-based compute infrastructure.\nWorking knowledge of networking and TCP/IP fundamentals.\nDeeper networking expertise beyond TCP/IP fundamentals including BGP.\nExperience with Jira, Grafana, and similar monitoring/operational platforms.\nExperience planning and coordinating production maintenance within change-management processes.\nOrganizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and operational priorities.\nAbility to coordinate technical resources and drive issues to resolution without being the SME in every technology.\nStrong communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.\nPreferred Requirements\nPython or other scripting experience for toil reduction and process improvement.\nExperience using LLMs and AI tools to accelerate documentation, troubleshooting, and automation.\nWorking Conditions\nPrimarily standard APAC business hours, within a global follow-the-sun model.\nParticipation in an on-call rotation and occasional planned after-hours maintenance.\nOccasional travel when required (approximately up to 10%).\nAt Thales, we’re committed to fostering a workplace where respect, trust, collaboration, and passion drive everything we do.
