About the Role
We're looking for an IT Support Engineer to provide hands-on IT support to our US employees. You'll own the day-to-day work: solving technical issues, onboarding and offboarding employees, managing hardware, and keeping our offices running smoothly. You'll be part of a global IT team that works across the US and APAC.
This role goes beyond working a ticket queue. Our core IT systems are cloud-based platforms for identity, device management, and service delivery, and the whole company depends on them. You'll help administer, improve, and automate them. If you want to grow toward systems administration and help shape how IT scales as we grow, this is the place to do it.
What you will do
Support and operations
Be the first point of contact for IT requests, in person, over chat, and through our service desk
Troubleshoot hardware, software, accounts, access, networking, and peripherals, and escalate when needed
Handle onboarding from start to finish: provisioning accounts, preparing and deploying laptops, granting access, and running the first-day IT orientation
Handle offboarding: removing access on time, recovering devices, and transferring data
Track hardware inventory, purchasing requests, and the device lifecycle
Support conference rooms, AV, printers, and office networks
Core systems and process
Help administer our identity and access management platform: SSO, MFA, and the user lifecycle
Help manage our macOS and Windows device fleet through MDM: enrollment, configuration, app deployment, patching, and compliance
Build and refine service desk workflows, automations, and the self-service catalog
Write and update knowledge base articles, runbooks, and standard procedures
Help standardize IT practices across our offices
Skills, qualifications and experience we look for
Required
1–3 years of experience in IT support, help desk, or desktop support
Strong troubleshooting skills on both macOS and Windows
Experience administering a SaaS productivity suite such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
Familiarity with a ticketing or ITSM system
Clear, friendly communication with people at any technical level
Comfortable with ambiguity: able to work on your own, prioritize many requests at once, and follow through
Organized and careful with documentation and asset tracking
Curious about AI and comfortable using AI tools in your day-to-day work
Nice to have
Hands-on time with an identity provider such as Okta, Entra ID, or JumpCloud
Exposure to MDM or endpoint management platforms such as Jamf, Kandji/Iru, or Microsoft Intune
Familiarity with zero-touch deployment, such as Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot
Basic networking knowledge (DNS, DHCP, VLANs, Wi-Fi)
Some scripting or automation (Bash, Python, PowerShell)
Background at a fast-growing startup or a company with multiple offices
Certifications such as CompTIA A+/Network+, Apple ACSP, or Okta Certified Professional
Schedule and Physical Requirements
Onsite during standard business hours, with some flexibility based on team needs
Travel to our other West Coast offices as needed (estimated [10–15]% of the time)
Some evening calls to collaborate with our APAC teammates
Occasional after-hours work for scheduled maintenance, urgent offboardings, or critical issues
Regularly lift and carry equipment up to 50 lbs (monitors, laptops, AV gear), with or without reasonable accommodation
Move around the office throughout the day to set up desks, conference rooms, and hardware
Why This Role
Hands-on experience with enterprise-grade IT systems early in your career
Work closely with the IT Manager and learn how IT runs from end to end
See the direct impact of your work on how the whole company operates
Compensation: $40-50/hr
