What you’ll do
We’re a fast-moving startup looking for someone who’s hungry to learn, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to build instead of maintain. As our Entry-Level Helpdesk Technician, you’ll be the go-to problem solver for all things technical—helping teammates stay productive while shaping the foundations of our IT systems as we scale.
If you want hands-on experience across hardware, software, security, onboarding, and automation, this is the place.
Where you’ll work
This role will be based in our Houston office. You must be willing to work in the office full-time, outside of our bi-weekly WFH Fridays. Employees will be able to work remotely for up to 4 weeks per year.
Responsibilities
- Own the first line of technical support—Slack, tickets, walk-ups, you name it
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and connectivity issues quickly
- Set up accounts, access, and devices for new hires (startup = lots of onboarding!)

- Configure and deploy laptops, monitors, and accessories as we grow
- Support SaaS apps (Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, etc.)
- Identify recurring issues and propose ways to automate or eliminate them
- Jump in on special projects—office moves, tool rollouts, new system testing
- Escalate complex issues when needed but aim to solve as much as you can directly
- Keep inventory clean, organized, and ready for the next hire
Requirements
- A builder mindset: scrappy, resourceful, solution-first
- Strong communication skills; able to help non-technical teammates
- Basic understanding of operating systems (macOS or Windows preferred)
- Familiarity with common startup tools (Google Workspace, Slack)
- Curiosity about IT, automation, and scaling processes
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment
- A sense of ownership—you don’t wait to be told what to do
- Bonus: Experience with scripting, MDM tools, or CompTIA/Google IT Support certs
