About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity to join our growing IT team as our third dedicated hire. Reporting directly to the Head of IT and closely collaborating with a Tier 2 Support Engineer, this role is the first point of contact for all IT-related requests, serving as the frontline support for our team. The IT Support Analyst will be instrumental in supporting our hybrid office and team expansion, gaining deep exposure to a wide range of enterprise technologies and systems.

• Maintain an accurate and up-to-date inventory of all company hardware (laptops, monitors, peripherals, etc.), tracking asset lifecycle from procurement to disposal

• Develop and maintain clear, concise, and up-to-date internal IT knowledge base articles, procedures, and end-user documentation to improve self-service and reduce recurring support requests.

• Accurately triage, prioritize, and escalate unresolved incidents to the Tier 2 engineer or Head of IT when necessary, ensuring all tickets are logged with appropriate detail and follow-up.

• Experience managing hardware lifecycle: deployment, setup, and maintenance (e.g., onboarding, offboarding, and factory resets).

• Experience providing Tier 1 user support, incident management, and working with a modern helpdesk/ticketing system (e.g., Freshservice, Zendesk, Jira Service Management).

• Strong customer service skills -- you genuinely enjoy helping others

• High levels of self-motivation and ownership

• Knowledge of security principles beyond endpoint detection (EDR/XDR), including experience with MFA, SSO, and compliance frameworks is a plus (not required)

Location

• San Francisco, hybrid work model
