• Support cloud infrastructure operations and basic administration within our AWS environment
• Administer and troubleshoot our network hardware, such as: routers, switches, access points, and VPN across office and remote setups
• Evaluate, roll out, and manage governance around AI coding and productivity tools used by engineering and other teams
• Provide hands-on troubleshooting and support across macOS, Linux, and Windows endpoints
• Contribute to security hardening efforts: patch management, endpoint security, vulnerability remediation, and access reviews

• Help maintain IT documentation, runbooks, and onboarding/offboarding processes
• Act as an escalation point for IT support tickets and troubleshoot infrastructure issues across the stack
