Provide 2nd and 3rd line support for complex incidents and changes

Humble, collaborative approach. This is a lean team where everyone contributes

Comfortable with hands-on work, including occasional lifting up to 50 lbs

Why You'll Like It

Design and build work, not just maintenance

Direct visibility with IT leadership on a small team

A path to a permanent role through contract-to-hire

Strong benefits package including 401k match and annual bonus
