You will own end-to-end IT operations — from the laptop that shows up at a new hire's door, to the automations that provision their accounts, to the LLM-powered internal tools that make the whole function scale. You will also own day-to-day IT compliance and governance execution in partnership with the Director of InfoSec. This is a builder's role wearing a support hat, not the other way around.</p> <h4><strong>Core Responsibilities</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Run day-to-day IT help desk for ~75 employees (and growing), resolving 75+ tickets per week across software access, account provisioning, laptop issues, and general IT support</li> <li>Own the full laptop lifecycle — vendor pricing, procurement, Kandji-managed deployment, refreshes, and retrieval from voluntary and involuntary terminations</li> <li>Build and maintain automations across Zapier, Okta, Google Workspace, Jira, and Slack to eliminate repetitive IT work</li> <li>Develop internal tools and scripts that call LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini) to automate ticket triage, documentation, onboarding checklists, and other IT workflows</li> <li>Execute IT compliance and governance work in partnership with the Director of InfoSec — access reviews, evidence collection for SOC 2 and similar audits, policy enforcement in Okta and Kandji, and offboarding verification</li> <li>Partner with the Director of InfoSec and CFO to track software renewal dates, negotiate pricing, and flag consolidation opportunities</li> <li>Manage the Kandji, Okta, Jira, SentinelOne, and Google Workspace tool stack — configurations, integrations, and policy maintenance</li> <li>Execute employee onboarding and offboarding IT workflows with same-day turnaround</li> <li>Document everything — runbooks, automation logic, vendor contacts, asset inventory</li> </ul> <h4><strong>Must-Have Qualifications</strong></h4> <ul> <li>3+ years in IT operations, IT support engineering, or a similar role at a remote or distributed company</li> <li>Hands-on experience with an MDM platform for an Apple-based workforce (Kandji / Iru strongly preferred; Jamf or Intune acceptable)</li> <li>Hands-on experience administering an IdP (Okta preferred) — SSO configuration, SCIM provisioning, lifecycle policies</li> <li>Proven scripting ability in Python, JavaScript, or Bash — able to read and write code that calls REST APIs, not just run existing scripts</li> <li>Experience with SentinelOne or similar EDR tooling</li> <li>Demonstrated experience building production automations in Zapier, Make, or equivalent iPaaS tools</li> <li>Experience calling LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini) from scripts or internal tools to automate work — <strong>this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have</strong></li> <li>Experience supporting IT compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar) — access reviews, audit evidence collection, and policy enforcement from the IT control side</li> <li>Experience managing laptop fleets remotely, including shipping logistics and retrieval from remote terminations</li> <li>Strong written communication — this is a remote company and most support happens in Slack and tickets</li> </ul> <h4><strong>Nice-to-Have Qualifications</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Jira admin experience (workflows, automation rules, custom fields)</li> <li>Experience with a GRC platform (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) for automated evidence collection</li> <li>Prior experience at a company in the 75–250 employee range (you've seen what breaks at each stage)</li> <li>Vendor negotiation experience for SaaS renewals</li> </ul> <h4><strong>What Success Looks Like</strong></h4> <ul> <li><strong>30 days: </strong>Fully ramped on the ticket queue; inventory of existing automations and LLM tools documented; laptop refresh calendar current.</li> <li><strong>90 days: </strong>Onboarding and offboarding workflows fully automated end-to-end; first new LLM-powered internal tool shipped; renewal calendar owned.</li> <li><strong>6 months:</strong> Measurable reduction in repetitive tickets (target: 20–30%) through self-service and automation; cross-trained backup for help desk coverage established.</li> </ul> <p> </p>
