Why Energy CX?
About this Job As an IT Systems Engineer, you'll own and operate the company's IT and cloud infrastructure end-to-end, from helpdesk and device management to cloud architecture and security compliance.
This is a hands-on, in-person role at a company of 100+ and growing. We'll calibrate scope and seniority to your experience, with a clear path to expand responsibilities as we scale. Daily and Monthly Responsibilities
We value ownership, prioritization, focus, discipline, effective communication, action, efficiency, resourcefulness and maximizing value. Innovate It - Think Differently Innovation isn't about flashy ideas, it's about taking on new challenges and outgrowing what no longer serves. At Energy CX, we are experimenting constantly and building what the customer actually needs-especially when it breaks what came before.
We value curiosity, experimentation, collaboration, bold thinking, long-term vision, customer centricity and simplicity. Continuous Growth - Better Every Day Growth is not perfection - it's our commitment to get better every single day. No matter how successful we become, we stay open, driven and aware that mastery is a process. We improve with feedback and through failures.
We value grit, transparency, resilience, fulfillment, constant learning, and being one team. Do Good - Leave It Better Doing good is about serving others and creating lasting impact. The good we do doesn't usually return to us directly - and that's the point. We believe that every system we strengthen, every teammate we invest in and every customer we guide creates an impact we may never see. But we do it anyway because our work extends far beyond today. We value humility, community, kindness and leaving every person and project better than we found them. The Deal at Energy CX Our culture rewards personal growth and performance. If you want comfort, predictability or an easy path, this isn't the place for you.
