Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # IT Support Specialist - **Company:** THATGAMECOMPANY, INC. - **Location:** Los Angeles, CA, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Starter - **Salary:** $55,500.0 - $87,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Unity 3d, Microsoft Windows, Artificial Intelligence, Apple Mac Systems, Apple Xcode, App Store (IOS), Bash Shell, Software as a Service, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Domain Name System (DNS), Issue Tracking Systems, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Python (Programming Language), Perforce, Windows PowerShell, Toolchain, Wi-Fi Technology, Data Processing, Okta, Microsoft InTune, Bug Reporting, Slack, Atlassian Tools, Casper Suite, Gsuite, Google Play - **Published:** September 16, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=541781b496144c5e ## About the Role * 1-3 years in IT support, service desk, or comparable hands-on technical support. * Working knowledge of macOS and Windows in a managed environment, with comfort around MDM, identity and SSO, and endpoint tooling. * Comfort administering SaaS platforms, not just using them - group-based entitlement, SCIM provisioning, and least-privilege judgment on access requests. * A solid grasp of the everyday stack: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack, VPN, and ticketing systems. * Basic network troubleshooting - Wi-Fi, DNS, DHCP, and general connectivity. * Clear, patient written and verbal communication with non-technical colleagues. You explain rather than jargon. * Strong judgment about what to solve yourself and what to escalate, and the discipline to document either way. Tickets arrive without a priority signal, so triage is judgment rather than routing. * Genuine care for the people you support. This role is as much service as it is technical. Nice to have * Hands-on with Okta, Atlassian, Jamf or Intune, Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, or 1Password - or close equivalents. * Experience in a game or digital content creation studio, supporting artists, designers, and engineers. * Perforce and Unity or Unreal experience; Xcode provisioning, console dev-kit, or platform-store administration. * Okta administration and light scripting for repetitive tasks (Okta Workflows, Apps Script, Bash, PowerShell, or Python). * Supporting teams across US and APAC time zones. * Familiarity with security hygiene practices and working alongside a security team. * AV and live event support experience. ## Description You are the first point of contact when technology gets in the way of someone's work. You'll own tier-1 support end to end - triaging requests, resolving what you can on the spot, and escalating cleanly to Technical Support Operations when you can't. It's a hands-on role on a small, high-trust team, and the quality of your work is felt studio-wide every day. You'll support artists, designers, engineers and operations staff, so your queue ranges wider than a typical corporate service desk. What you'll do * Own the front line - intake, triage, and first response for all IT requests across chat, ticketing, and walk-ups. * Resolve the highest-volume work directly: access and permission grants across Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, and our wider SaaS estate; license and seat requests; MFA, VPN, and connectivity; software installs; printer and peripheral setup. * Support the development toolchain and hardware - Perforce, Xcode, and Unity setup, build troubleshooting, console dev kits, the shared test-device fleet, and platform-store accounts (App Store Connect, Google Play Console, Steamworks). * Provision, image, and hand off laptops and workstations for new hires, and run IT lifecycle work with People Ops - day-one setup, role and entity changes, contractor renewals, leave transitions, and offboarding through to device return and data handling. * Provision and deprovision external partner, vendor, and contractor access, and administer AI tool seats and spend limits against studio guidelines. * Support meeting rooms and studio AV - Zoom Room provisioning, keeping hardware working, resolving issues live, and on-site support for studio events. * Escalate to Technical Support Operations with clear reproduction steps, context, and everything you've already tried. * Keep asset records accurate with IT Asset Management, so hardware and licenses stay tracked. * Write and maintain self-service documentation so recurring questions stop becoming tickets, and flag patterns worth fixing upstream. ## Related Videos - [Stack Overflow: Community and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/600-stack-overflow-community-and-ai) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - "Fun and games - and all that comes with it", Back to BASIC & more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1719-wearedevelopers-live-fun-and-games-and-all-that-comes-with-it-back-to-basic-more) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Leading Through Stagility: Human Capital Trends That Redefine Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1717-leading-through-stagility-human-capital-trends-that-redefine-work) - [Apple Vision Pro: Proven Development Methods Meet the Latest Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1190-apple-vision-pro-proven-development-methods-meet-the-latest-technology) - [Winning talents through play - Corporate Gaming with AKEYI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1062-winning-talents-through-play-corporate-gaming-with-akeyi) ## Related Articles - [WWC24 Talk - Brenda Romero - Stay: Surviving and Thriving in Tech](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/467-wwc24-talk-brenda-romero-stay-surviving-and-thriving-in-tech) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data)
