Our team members have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Boeing, Virgin Orbit, Virgin Galactic, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, and the naval architecture faculty of the University of Michigan. The company is structured as a public benefit corporation and backed by leading venture capital firms.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for end-user support, resolving issues with laptops, phones, A/V systems, printers, and other technology.
• Track, manage, and resolve requests in tickets (Jira Service Management), with intake via Slack, Jira, or walk-ups.
• Administer software tools and SaaS access such as Slack, Google Workspace, Atlassian, Microsoft Office.
• Support employee onboarding and offboarding by provisioning/deprovisioning accounts and devices.
• Document processes and build out our internal knowledge base in Confluence, with attention to clarity and detail.

• Participate in office build-outs and capital projects, including setting up new equipment and physical technology.
• Model strong customer service principles while solving problems in a technical, detail-oriented way.
• Contribute to building scalable systems and processes to enable our help desk function.

Growth Opportunities

This role is intentionally designed with room to stretch. Depending on your interests and growth, you may also:

• Configure and manage mobile device management (MDM) tools like JumpCloud and Intune.
• Automate IT workflows through scripting or building in-house tools.
• Help architect and implement our zero trust cybersecurity framework.
• Collaborate with the IT Manager on longer-term corporate technology strategy.
• Gain exposure to modern infrastructure and DevOps practices, including Terraform, GCP, and Azure.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in technical support, desktop support, or a related role (startup experience is a plus).
• Strong troubleshooting skills across multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile devices.
• Comfort with administration and governance of corporate productivity tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Confluence, Jira).
• Skills in supporting A/V equipment, printers, and networking basics (e.g., patching cables).
• Excellent communication and customer service skills; you enjoy working directly with people to solve problems.
• A process-oriented mindset, with attention to detail in documentation.
• Ability to be flexible and adaptive in a fast-growing, evolving environment.
• Excitement about renewable energy and the opportunity to help shape IT at a mission-driven company.
