IT Support Engineer — AI-Driven Helpdesk & Onboarding

Clay; New York (NY); On-site; USD 130,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Clay is scaling its IT function and seeks an hands-on IT Support Engineer to be the first point of contact for requests, triage issues, and maintain a clean, responsive helpdesk queue in a fast-moving startup.

You will partner with the Head of IT to configure workflows in our AI-powered ITSM platform, support onboarding and offboarding, and ensure everyday office tech runs smoothly for a growing team.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5 years in IT support, helpdesk, or a closely related role.
• Strong service delivery instincts; you prioritize well, keep queues clean, and close requests with clear communication.
• Hands‑on experience with ITSM platforms; you understand how to configure and manage one, not just work inside it.
• Broad SaaS admin experience: Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion, and similar platforms; you've provisioned users, managed settings, and handled admin tasks across a modern SaaS stack.
• Familiarity with office technology: conference room AV setup and troubleshooting, Meraki or similar networking equipment, common peripherals.
• Experience supporting onboarding and offboarding workflows end to end
• Technical fluency: comfortable in SaaS platforms, macOS, and basic identity and access management tasks (provisioning, deprovisioning, group management)
• AI‑forward mindset: you use AI tools to work faster, handle volume more intelligently, and improve the support experience
• Process‑oriented: you notice what's inefficient and want to fix it
• Clear communicator: employees trust you and know their issues are being handled

Responsibilities

• Be the face of IT at Clay. Triage and resolve incoming requests across access, software provisioning, onboarding and offboarding, hardware support, and general helpdesk needs.
• Own onboarding and offboarding execution. Provision and deprovision accounts, coordinate hardware, and make sure new hires are set up from day one and departing employees are fully off-boarded without gaps.
• Help build the helpdesk function. Partner with the Head of IT to configure and improve our ITSM platform — define request categories, build intake workflows, and manage queues as the function takes shape and scales.
• Keep the office running. Support conference room AV, networking equipment, peripherals, and general office tech so employees can do their best work without technology getting in the way.
• Administer the SaaS stack. Manage day-to-day administration across Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion, and other core tools — provisioning users, managing settings, and keeping things clean.
• Handle hardware logistics. Coordinate device provisioning, shipping, receiving, and basic asset tracking so employees have what they need when they need it.
• Build process, not just runbooks. Document what you own, identify patterns in incoming requests, and flag opportunities to improve or automate recurring work. The goal is a helpdesk that gets smarter over time.
