The Role</b></h2>
<p>
As an IT Engineer, you will provide a full spectrum of IT Support to the firm. Based in our San Francisco office you will serve as the face of the IT team as the primary support contact in the office for a diverse population of end users including the Executive level. You will take point on all IT needs that originate in the SF office. When not directly supporting the office, you will contribute to remote supporting the hybrid firm at-large and serve as a third level escalation point for service tickets.</p>
<p>
The ideal candidate must have an innate desire to serve and support those around them, taking initiative to offer their services in any situation that may call for it. Low ego and agility are key. You must feel comfortable diving under desks to rig up a clean cable management solution, to supporting C-suite executives in high leverage situations, to coordinating A/V vendors for a live in-office event, to contributing on a complex SaaS system integration project with collaborators spread across the US timezones.</p>
<p>
In this hybrid role, you should feel equally comfortable supporting users via email, chat, video call or in-person. You possess the skill to effectively troubleshoot and diagnose issues, conveying your insights through clear writing in a manner that is both friendly and professional. You carry this same demeanor into a video call or in-person interaction when the situation calls for it. You will work independently on many tasks but understand the importance of constant communication and collaboration to ensure you're in sync with the priorities of the larger team.</p>
<p>
You must have deep technical knowledge across various domains including MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Experience across a breadth of SaaS applications like Okta, Google Workspace, and Slack are required. You will have experience supporting fleets of endpoints, IT and networking infrastructure, and complex, multi-vendor IT environments. Experience managing integrated conference room A/V systems as well as supporting live event production are preferred.
