Full job description

Trace takes in retired IT gear from businesses nationwide, traces every serial number through wipe/destroy/refurb, and resells what still has life left. That resale revenue is literally what funds our free pickups - so this role isn’t a back-office afterthought, it’s the engine.

We’re looking for a young, energetic, playful nerd who actually likes taking things apart, figuring out what they’re worth, and putting them back together right.

What you’ll do:

• Receive and inventory incoming equipment (laptops, desktops, servers, networking gear) - serial by serial
• Test and diagnose hardware: what works, what’s worth fixing, what’s scrap
• Grade and categorize condition for resale (cosmetic grading, spec verification, functional testing)
• Support the data-wipe pipeline - verifying drives are clean before gear moves downstream
• Prep items for listing: cleaning, photos, spec sheets, pricing tier
• Pack and ship sold/refurbished units
• Keep the trace intact - every item’s status gets logged, no exceptions
