What You'll Do
  • Own the full helpdesk lifecycle: intake, triage, prioritization, resolution, and closure of all support tickets; establish and enforce SLA targets
  • Provide white-glove, concierge-level support to executives and senior leadership
  • Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and network-layer issues - LAN/WAN, DNS/DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi, macOS/Windows, and peripheral failures
  • Administer user accounts, access provisioning, and endpoint management via MDM (Kandji, Okta, Intune)
  • Support onboarding and offboarding workflows including device imaging and account setup

  • Collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams on escalated issues and cross-functional projects


What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in IT support, helpdesk, or systems administration
  • Demonstrated experience managing and prioritizing tickets in a formal ITSM system (Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, Zendesk, or similar)
  • Working knowledge of networking fundamentals: OSI model, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, firewalls, VPN
  • Proficiency supporting both macOS and Windows environments
  • Experience with MDM solutions (Jamf, Intune, or equivalent) and endpoint security tooling
  • Ability to work independently, self-manage priorities, and take initiative without waiting to be directed
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills - you treat every interaction as a high-value customer experience
  • (Plus) Experience supporting trading, fintech, or high-availability business environments
  • (Plus) Familiarity with scripting for automation (Bash, PowerShell, Python)
  • (Plus) Prior experience as a lead support resource in a lean team


Benefits
  • Competitive salary & equity
