The Role

As our part-time IT Support Engineer, you’ll be the frontline of our IT operations — keeping a fast-growing team unblocked while supporting the corporate security programs that keep Brain Co. safe. You’ll own help desk, onboarding, offboarding, and access requests, working closely with the Security & IT team. There’s room to grow into a full-time role as the team scales.

What You’ll Work On

Help Desk & Employee Support

  • First-line IT support for a 70+ person team — hardware, software, and account issues
  • On-site and remote support across macOS and Windows
  • Maintain runbooks and self-service resources to reduce repeat requests

Onboarding

  • Own Day 1 setup end-to-end: accounts, devices, and Okta provisioning
  • Execute provisioning workflows and fulfill access requests per our access entitlement model
  • Coordinate with HR and hiring managers on start dates and equipment needs

Offboarding

  • Run offboarding on last days: disable accounts, revoke access, recover equipment
  • Keep offboarding logs accurate and audit-ready for SOC 2

Access Requests

  • Own the access request queue and fulfill approved requests within our 2-hour SLA
  • Route Tier 2/3 requests to the right approvers and track to resolution

AV, Network & MENA Offices

  • Support conference room AV across office locations — setup, troubleshooting, and keeping meetings running
  • Help maintain office network infrastructure and troubleshoot connectivity issues
  • Serve as the IT point-of-contact for our MENA offices — remote support, new hire setup, and hardware logistics

You Might Be a Great Fit If You…

  • Have 2+ years of IT support or helpdesk experience, ideally at a startup
  • Are comfortable in Okta — provisioning, groups, and SSO troubleshooting
  • Have run onboarding and offboarding workflows and understand the security stakes
  • Are organized and dependable — you juggle open requests without dropping the ball
  • Communicate clearly with non-technical employees
  • Work independently and surface issues proactively

Bonus Points For

  • Google Workspace administration
  • MDM experience (Jamf, Kandji)
  • SOC 2 access control or IT audit exposure
  • Basic scripting (Python, Bash)

Why Join Us

  • Real ownership from day one — you’ll run IT operations, not just execute tickets
  • Work at a company deploying AI to governments, hospitals, and critical industries
  • Flexible part-time hours (~20 hrs/week) with potential to grow into a full-time role
  • Competitive hourly compensation
