We9re looking for a Senior IT Support Engineer to join our User Services team in Mountain View. This is a hands-on, broad-scope role: you9ll be the primary technical resource for our employees-onsite and remote-while also owning the core systems and infrastructure that keep the company running.

Day to day, you9ll split your time between resolving support tickets and administering the platforms behind them: cloud and productivity suites, identity management, our endpoint/MDM fleet, and conference room/AV environments, along with procurement and deployment of new hardware. You9ll report to the Head of User Services and partner closely with the broader IT team on company-wide rollouts and larger projects.

This is a senior individual-contributor role. We expect you to take full ownership of your areas, drive issues to resolution independently, and set the standard for how we support a fast-growing, highly technical user base. This position requires onsite presence five days per week in Mountain View.

  • Administer cloud and productivity platforms including Google Workspace, Office 365, Azure, and Slack
  • Troubleshoot networking issues including DHCP, DNS, VLANs, and basic routing
  • Handle procurement, setup, and deployment of laptops and workstations for new hires and replacements
  • Maintain and troubleshoot conference rooms and AV equipment, including Zoom Rooms
  • Manage onboarding and offboarding processes, getting new users up and running quickly
  • Track IT assets and keep our inventory system accurate
  • Create and maintain documentation for support processes and our internal knowledge base
  • Partner with IT team members on larger projects and organization-wide technology rollouts
  • Train users on security best practices and new technology

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of hands-on IT support experience, including time in both fast-paced startup environments and larger enterprise organizations
  • Experience deploying and configuring new tools and systems for large user bases
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across Mac and Windows platforms
  • Hands-on experience administering MDM platforms (e.g., Intune, ManageEngine, Kandji/Iru, Jamf)
  • Hands-on experience administering Okta-SSO, provisioning, and app integrations
  • Experience with Google Workspace, Office 365, and Slack administration
  • Experience supporting conference room and AV environments, including Zoom Rooms
  • Working knowledge of networking fundamentals and basic network troubleshooting
  • Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
  • Excellent communication skills-you can explain technical issues to anyone
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to juggle multiple priorities
  • Proven track record of taking ownership and driving issues to resolution

Preferred Qualifications
  • ITIL 4 foundation or familiarity with ITIL best practices
  • Scripting experience with PowerShell, Bash, or Python
  • Experience supporting Linux workstations or environments
  • IT certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Microsoft certifications)
  • Experience supporting engineering or research teams


We offer competitive compensation. The base salary range for this role determined based on location, experience, educational background, and market data.
