IT Support Engineer

Tell Me About My Job If you are considering this role, you are someone who loves being the person who makes everything just work for the people around you. You take pride in a clean onboarding, a fast ticket resolution, and a knowledge base that actually gets used. You’re equally comfortable walking a non-technical teammate through an MFA reset and digging into a terminal to figure out why something is misbehaving. This role is the first line of internal IT support at Gravitate — owning the day-to-day employee experience across laptops, accounts, and SaaS tools. It’s also intentionally designed with a growth path into DevOps and infrastructure. You’ll start in IT support, take on infrastructure and automation work as you ramp, and shape the role with us as you grow. If you’re curious about cloud, CI/CD, observability, and security engineering, there’s real runway here. You’re an Ideal Candidate If… Service‑Minded: You genuinely enjoy helping people, and you measure your work by how unblocked your teammates are. Curious: You don’t just close tickets — you want to understand the system underneath, and you’re excited about growing into cloud and DevOps work. Self‑Directed: You operate with minimal oversight, own problems end‑to‑end, and know when to ask for help. Organized: You bring structure to messy queues and write things down so the next person (or the next you) doesn’t have to figure it out twice. Pragmatic: You favor right‑sized solutions over over‑engineered ones, and you’re comfortable making judgment calls.
