Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Peak Energy as an employer.

What you need

  • 4+ years of hands-on IT experience, ideally in a fast-growing company or engineering-heavy environment
  • Strong end-user support skills — laptop imaging, endpoint troubleshooting, help desk operations
  • Solid working knowledge of networking basics — Wi-Fi, switches, VLANs, DHCP/DNS
  • Deep familiarity with Azure/Entra AD (or equivalent SSO), and modern MDM/endpoint tools (Intune)
  • Comfort supporting engineers with meaningful compute/workstation needs (CAD, hardware development, high-performance computing)
  • Practical familiarity with security fundamentals — endpoint protection, patching, access controls

Nice to have

  • Prior IT support experience at a Series B/C hardware startup or engineering-focused company
  • Experience contributing to SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits is a plus
  • Certifications: Recent CompTIA A+/Network+/Security+, ITIL, or similar
  • Scripting or automation skills (PowerShell, Python, Bash) for repetitive IT tasks

What you get

  • Flexible time off
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Strong 401(k) plan
  • Equity opportunities
  • Many great work perks

Worth weighing

  • No specific technologies or tools mentioned beyond Azure/Entra AD and MDM tools, which may limit exposure to a broader tech stack
  • The role requires physical work, such as cable runs and AV setup, which may not appeal to all candidates
  • The company is in a growth phase with a focus on engineering, which may lead to changing priorities
