• Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, networking, and SaaS access issues promptly working cross‑functionally with various technical departments.
• Enforce baseline security policies (disk encryption, OS patching, screensaver lock) in partnership with others on the IT Team.
• Build and maintain an internal IT knowledge base covering common issues, onboarding, offboarding runbooks, and self‑service guides.

• Hands‑on experience with Okta (user lifecycle management, app integrations) and Google Workspace administration.
• Experience with or strong working knowledge of a major MDM platform.
• Reputation for responsiveness, reliability, creative problem‑solving ability, and attention‑to‑detail.
• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects in a rapidly changing work environment.
• Strong service orientation with excellent communication skills; you know how to prioritize urgency without sacrificing quality.
• Scripting ability in Python, Bash, PowerShell, or Okta Workflows for automation.
• Kandji / Iru / MS Intune experience
• Experience supporting highly technical teams; quantum engineers, hardware researchers, etc. — who require elevated permissions, specialized software, and flexible endpoint configurations
