This candidate will join a high performing helpdesk team in supporting our studio. You’ll be friendly and eager to dive into any problem thrown your way. You’ll be comfortable with a wide range of hardware and software, and rarely settle for the default settings. You’ll think automation first and manual second.

  • Outstanding customer service and interaction skills, both verbal and written
  • History of “whatever it takes”, hands-on support

  • Works well as part of a team in a fun, fast-paced environment

  • Linux systems
  • Mac systems
  • TCP/IP networking

What you might work on:

  • A system to deploy PCs to employees in less than ten minutes
  • A developer’s high-end PC with more RAM than you can shake a stick at (you get a good one too)
  • An inventory system so you can find anything, anywhere, without leaving your desk
  • Wired and wireless and VPN problems that defy your Googling skills
  • A software deployment system to push the latest applications and system patches, within minutes
  • All manner of gaming systems and developer kits
