We’re looking for a Senior IT Support Analyst who thrives in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments. This role is more than ticket resolution — you’ll be a builder, problem‑solver, and systems optimizer who helps scale IT operations as the company grows.

You’ll support a distributed workforce, improve processes, implement automation, and partner cross‑functionally to ensure our employees have a seamless technology experience.

If you enjoy wearing multiple hats, owning problems end‑to‑end, and building IT the right way from the ground up, this role is for you.

• Provide Tier 2/3 support across hardware, SaaS apps, identity systems, and collaboration tools
• Serve as an escalation point for complex or high‑impact issues
• Ensure fast, thoughtful resolution of tickets with a strong customer experience mindset
• Support remote and hybrid employees across time zones

• Improve onboarding/offboarding workflows and automate where possible
• Manage identity and access (Okta/Google Workspace/Full Stack)
• Administer endpoint management (Iru, Jumpcloud, etc.)
• Optimize SaaS management and license provisioning
• Identify repetitive issues and implement scalable solutions

• Create and maintain documentation and internal knowledge bases
• Partner with Security on device compliance, access controls, and audits
• Help implement new tools and systems as the company grows
• Participate in incident response when needed

• Work closely with People Ops, Finance, Security, and Engineering
• Help evaluate and roll out new productivity tools
• Provide technical guidance during company growth initiatives (new offices, M&A, rapid hiring, etc.)

• 5+ years of IT support experience, ideally in a startup or high‑growth environment
• Experience supporting both macOS and Windows (macOS‑heavy preferred)
• Hands‑on experience with:
  • Google Workspace
  • Slack
  • Okta or other IAM platforms
  • Endpoint management tools (Jamf, Intune, Kandji, etc.)
  • ITSM systems (Jira, Linear, Service Now, etc.)

• Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, SaaS, networking basics, and identity
• Experience with SaaS administration and lifecycle management
• Basic scripting or automation skills (Power Shell, Bash, or similar) preferred
• Comfortable working in cloud‑first environments

• Builder mentality — you improve things instead of working around them
• Highly organized and documentation‑driven
• Bias toward action and ownership
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change
• Strong communicator who can translate technical concepts to non‑technical audiences
