Job description

This is a true generalist role for someone who thrives on variety. One day you’re debugging our internal scheduling tool, the next you’re troubleshooting a network issue at a branch office, and the next you’re tightening up our security posture. You’ll be the go-to IT resource for the whole company - which means your technical skills matter as much as your ability to explain things clearly to non-technical teammates.

What You’ll Do

Software Development & Application Support

  • Build, maintain, and improve internal tools (scheduling, dispatch, CRM, customer portals)
  • Troubleshoot bugs and performance issues
  • Partner with vendors and third-party software providers
  • Turn staff requests into practical technical solutions

IT & Network Support

  • Maintain networks, servers, and infrastructure across office and field locations
  • Set up and support workstations, mobile devices, and field tech equipment
  • Manage user accounts, permissions, and system access
  • Be the first point of contact for day-to-day help desk needs

Cybersecurity

  • Monitor for vulnerabilities and suspicious activity
  • Maintain firewalls, endpoint protection, backups, and patching
  • Support data protection and regulatory compliance efforts
  • Develop disaster recovery and business continuity plans

General IT Ownership

  • Evaluate and recommend new tools and systems as we grow
  • Manage relationships with IT vendors, ISPs, and service providers
  • Document systems and processes for consistency
  • Train staff on tools and systems

Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on IT experience spanning development, systems administration, and security
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript, Python, and HTML
  • Experience with business networks (routers, switches, VPNs, Wi-Fi) and Windows/Mac environments
  • Solid grasp of cybersecurity fundamentals (endpoint protection, backups, patching, phishing prevention)
  • Strong troubleshooting instincts and comfort being the “first call” when something breaks
  • Excellent communication skills - you can explain tech issues in plain English
  • A self-starter mentality; comfortable owning IT solo or with a small team

Nice to Have

  • Experience in field-service or home-services businesses
  • Familiarity with home-services CRM/dispatch software (e.g., ServiceTitan)
  • CompTIA Security+, Network+, or similar certifications
