About the role
You are the first point of contact for IT issues, providing tier-1 support end to end in a hands-on, high-trust environment for artists, designers, engineers, and operations staff.
Responsibilities
- Own the front line — intake, triage, and first response for all IT requests across chat, ticketing, and walk-ups.
- Resolve the highest-volume work directly: access and permission grants across Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, and our wider SaaS estate; license and seat requests; MFA, VPN, and connectivity; software installs; printer and peripheral setup.
- Support the development toolchain and hardware — Perforce, Xcode, and Unity setup, build troubleshooting, console dev kits, the shared test-device fleet, and platform-store accounts (App Store Connect, Google Play Console, Steamworks).
- Provision, image, and hand off laptops and workstations for new hires, and run IT lifecycle work with People Ops — day-one setup, role and entity changes, contractor renewals, leave transitions, and offboarding through to device return and data handling.
- Provision and deprovision external partner, vendor, and contractor access, and administer AI tool seats and spend limits against studio guidelines.
- Support meeting rooms and studio AV — Zoom Room provisioning, keeping hardware working, resolving issues live, and on-site support for studio events.
- Escalate to Technical Support Operations with clear reproduction steps, context, and everything you've already tried.
- Keep asset records accurate with IT Asset Management, so hardware and licenses stay tracked.
- Write and maintain self-service documentation so recurring questions stop becoming tickets, and flag patterns worth fixing upstream.
Qualifications
- 1–3 years in IT support, service desk, or comparable hands-on technical support.
- Working knowledge of macOS and Windows in a managed environment, with comfort around MDM, identity and SSO, and endpoint tooling.
- Comfort administering SaaS platforms, not just using them — group-based entitlement, SCIM provisioning, and least-privilege judgment on access requests.
- A solid grasp of the everyday stack: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack, VPN, and ticketing systems.
- Basic network troubleshooting — Wi-Fi, DNS, DHCP, and general connectivity.
- Clear, patient written and verbal communication with non-technical colleagues. You explain rather than jargon.
- Strong judgment about what to solve yourself and what to escalate, and the discipline to document either way.
- Genuine care for the people you support. This role is as much service as it is technical.
