Job description

About Encord

At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. One of the biggest challenges AI companies face today is data quality. The success of any AI application relies heavily on the quality of its training data, yet for most teams, this crucial step is both the most costly and time-consuming. We’re here to change that.

As former computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we’ve experienced firsthand how a lack of tools to prepare quality training data impedes progress in building AI. We believe AI is at a stage similar to the early days of computing or the internet—where the potential is clear, but the surrounding tools and processes are still catching up. That's why we started Encord.

We are a talented and ambitious team of 100+, working at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning. Backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator, we’re one of the fastest-growing companies in our space. We have big plans ahead and are looking to expand our Engineering team to help us in building a better product for our customers.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for an experienced and proactive TechOps Specialist to join our fast-paced team. You will be responsible for supporting users, managing devices, maintaining networks, and ensuring smooth day-to-day IT operations. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, working collaboratively, and is eager to grow within a dynamic work environment.

• Troubleshoot and resolve network connectivity issues

Inventory & Asset Management

• Keep accurate records of IT assets, including tracking and lifecycle management
• Procure new hardware/software and manage stock levels efficiently
• Vendor Management & IT Process Improvement
• Coordinate with hardware/software vendors and service providers
• Support ongoing improvement of IT operations and documentation

About You

• Good communication skills with the ability to support users across technical skill levels

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, commission and equity in a hyper growth business.
• Strong in-person culture.
