Job description

As our Help Desk Technician, you’ll be the first face our team sees when something breaks, slows down, or needs setting up. You’ll handle day-to-day support for internal users across our HQ and remote loan officer network, while also helping us keep a close eye on emerging security threats and putting AI tools to work in your daily workflow.

What You’ll Do Frontline Support

  • Serve as the first point of contact for help desk requests via ticketing system, Slack, email, and walk-ups
  • Set up workstations, accounts, and software for new hires; deactivate access for departures
  • Troubleshoot Windows Workstations, Microsoft 365, printers, peripherals, and basic network connectivity
  • Support video conferencing, conference room AV, and remote-access tools
  • Assist with onboarding loan officers onto C2 systems (CRM, document tools, SSO)
  • Help maintain hardware inventory and software license tracking
  • AI-Assisted Operations
  • Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and others) daily to triage tickets, draft documentation, write scripts, and accelerate research
  • Help build and refine prompt libraries and AI workflows the rest of IT can reuse
  • Surface opportunities where AI can replace repetitive support tasks
  • Stay current on new AI tools and bring back recommendations for the team

Security Monitoring & Awareness

  • Track daily security news, advisories, and emerging threats relevant to mortgage and financial services (CISA bulletins, vendor advisories, phishing trends)
  • Monitor alerts from endpoint protection, email security, and firewall systems; escalate anomalies
  • Help run phishing simulations and basic security awareness check-ins with staff
  • Assist with patch management, MFA enforcement, and access reviews
  • Document incidents and contribute to our security runbook
  • Knowledge & Escalation
  • Document common issues and resolutions to build out our internal knowledge base
  • Escalate complex issues to senior IT staff and shadow them on the resolution

  • Genuine interest in AI - you’ve been actively using tools like ChatGPT or Claude and can speak to how they’ve changed how you work
  • Awareness of cybersecurity fundamentals - phishing, MFA, password hygiene, patch management - and curiosity about where the threat landscape is heading

  • Patient, service-oriented communication style - you can explain things clearly to non-technical users
  • Strong written communication for ticket documentation
  • Reliable attendance and a willingness to be on-site
