Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # IT Associate - **Company:** OWNER - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States - **Salary:** $150,000.0 - $170,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Apple IOS, Apple Mac Systems, Chrome OS, Software as a Service, Software Debugging, Network Architecture, Networking Basics, Virtual Local Area Networks, Wi-Fi Technology, Okta, Slack, Operational Systems, Gsuite - **Published:** June 10, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=95912713f1f4c300 ## About the Role Do you have experience in macOS support?, * Strong macOS fluency is a must, with solid working knowledge of iOS and ideally some exposure to ChromeOS and Android. You've managed device fleets end-to-end - MDM enrollment, imaging, asset tracking - and you keep things clean and documented without being asked. * You're comfortable with networking fundamentals: configuring APs, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and handling basic VLAN and WiFi work without waiting on a vendor for every config change. You don't need to be a network engineer, but you should be able to own the setup. * You've worked with tools like Okta, Google Workspace, and Slack at an admin level, not just as a user. Familiarity with our broader SaaS stack is a plus - the more of it you've touched, the faster you'll hit the ground running. * You have a natural inclination to automate repetitive work - whether that's MDM workflows, scripting routine tasks, or building out ticket routing rules. You notice inefficiency and do something about it. * You've supported senior leaders before and understand what that actually means: being proactive, reading the room, moving fast without making noise, and treating discretion as a baseline expectation. * You're someone who can operate in a role with real ownership and no rigid playbook. ## Description We're looking for an IT Associate to own the end-to-end technology experience across our San Francisco office, executive team, and warehouse operations. You'll be responsible for ensuring our devices, networks, conference rooms, and operational systems are reliable, secure, and ready to scale. Beyond day-to-day support, you'll build the processes, automation, documentation, and infrastructure that allow a fast-growing company to operate efficiently as we expand. The right person is equally comfortable troubleshooting a critical issue in real time, supporting an executive before an important meeting, and designing scalable systems that eliminate entire categories of future problems. * This role is based in San Francisco on a hybrid schedule (2-3 days in office), with regular hands-on time at our South San Francisco warehouse and travel to merchant sites as the work demands. The impact you will have * Be the IT backbone of our San Francisco office. You'll be the person employees and execs rely on to make technology invisible - fast hardware, reliable WiFi, and conference rooms that just work, every time. * Enable exec and leadership effectiveness. You'll provide white-glove device and AV support to our leadership team, making sure no board meeting, investor call, or all-hands is ever derailed by tech. * Build the systems that scale us. We're growing fast. You won't just fix tickets - you'll build the asset management, onboarding, and network infrastructure playbooks that work at several times our current headcount. * Own our warehouse team's IT stack. Scanners, terminals, printers - the physical systems that keep our operations running will be yours to keep online, documented, and resilient. Who you'll work with * Every team at Owner. IT is one of the most cross-functional roles in the company - you'll support everyone from SDRs on their first day to engineers debugging production issues, and you'll be a trusted partner to all of them. * Security and Platform teams. You'll work closely with Security and Platform to ensure our endpoint posture, MDM configuration, and SaaS access controls are tight and scalable - not just functional. ## Related Videos - [Xcode development redefAIned](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100195-xcode-development-redefained) - [Stack Overflow: Community and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/600-stack-overflow-community-and-ai) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [Cloud as the new mainframe: why the cloud hype does not reflect the dev reality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/797-cloud-as-the-new-mainframe-why-the-cloud-hype-does-not-reflect-the-dev-reality) - [Developers don't need onboarding, do they?
