Job description

  • Provide face-to-face IT support for our managed service clients - building relationships, not just fixing tickets
  • Contribute to agile sprints, stand-ups, and retrospectives as a valued member of the team
  • Troubleshoot and debug - because problem-solving is where the best learning happens
