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
