What you will bring to SmithRx:

• Experience: 3+ years in a fast‑paced systems support, technical operations, or a related high‑growth technology role.
• Platform Expertise: Strong working knowledge of macOS, Windows, and SaaS administration (identity management, cloud productivity, and collaboration tools).
