Why This Role Matters

You aren’t just maintaining systems—you’re empowering companies to achieve more, every single day. Your work unlocks uninterrupted productivity for teams and secure, always-on services for thousands of users. With your keen troubleshooting skills and foresight, potential disruptions are just another opportunity to innovate.

Key Responsibilities: Your Impact

• Streamline Onboarding and Access: Shape onboarding workflows that help new hires hit the ground running, and create frictionless experiences for remote and hybrid teams.
• Champion Automation: By scripting and automating routine tasks, you’ll free up time to tackle the projects that move the business forward.
• Foster Unified Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering, security, and helpdesk teams, ensuring cross-team alignment and sharing insights that improve tools and processes for everyone.
• Document with Clarity: You’ll translate technical procedures and fixes into clear, actionable guides, making sure nobody is left guessing during critical moments.

The Tools and Technologies You’ll Shape

Work Environment: Focused, Flexible, and Fully Remote

Your workspace? Wherever you feel most productive—whether that’s your home office overlooking the Rockies, a co-working space, or your favorite neighborhood café.

• Autonomy & Support: Move quickly on priorities, but know there’s always a team behind you when a challenge requires a fresh perspective.
• Collaboration-First: You’ll partner with design, engineering, and support to build unified solutions. Feedback loops are fast, and knowledge-sharing is second nature.
