You will be trusted to take ownership, act quickly and speak up when something can be improved. Decisions are made close to the problem, with input from the people doing the work.
This is a role with real breadth. You will support office infrastructure, engineering toolchains and remote teams that rely on you as smart hands on site.
What we're looking for
- Strong hands-on support across Windows 11, macOS and Linux desktops and laptops.

- Security awareness across antivirus, encryption, multi-factor authentication and endpoint compliance.
- Ability to partner with engineering teams on development tools, workflows, documentation and issue resolution.
- Willingness to travel between the office and third-party factory locations for on-site infrastructure support.
