Support: Maintain an office IT presence, provide hands-on support for employees, and manage onboarding/offboarding processes including hardware and account setup. Act as the go-to contact for technical assistance.

Security & Compliance (Contribution): Contribute to security by applying patches, managing access controls, monitoring events, and supporting vulnerability remediation. Assist in audits, access reviews, and compliance initiatives in collaboration with the security team.

• Planning and implementing upgrades, migrations, and system enhancements
• Tracking and managing IT assets, hardware inventory, and software licenses
• Maintaining and building accurate documentation of system configurations, processes, and procedures

Security & Compliance (Contribution)

You will contribute to and collaborate on:

• Managing and testing backups, disaster recovery, and business continuity procedures
• Implementing security measures such as access controls, patch management, and event logging
• Supporting identity and access management (IAM) practices in collaboration with IT/security leads
• Helping to prepare for audits, compliance checks, and access reviews
• Coordinating with teams on vulnerability management and incident response
• Providing input on vendor assessments and service provider reviews

Systems & Tools

You'll work with cloud platforms (Google Cloud Platform), on-premise infrastructure (Proxmox virtualization on Dell servers and Mac hardware, a lot of smartphones), containerization (Docker for services and builds), device management tools (Microsoft Intune, NinjaOne, Mosyle), automation technologies (Python-based codebases, Ansible), and collaboration tools (Slack, Google Workspace). You'll support a diverse environment where employees use Linux, macOS, and Windows.
