We need a Technical Support Specialist in a full-time position. This includes the installation, repair, and tweaking of hardware and software for end users; as well as the coordination and planning for major projects and upgrades.

You can work and think in a fast-paced environment. Some days move fast, and we shift from one support issue to the next without much of a breath.
§ You are self-motivated and independent. Some days move slow, and we have a list of projects that need start-to-finish tending.
§ You are technically savvy. You can identify or research a problem, and follow-through to resolution.
§ You are detail-oriented and possess strong communication skills.
§ You can roll with the punches of a young IT company, make a positive impact and help us grow.

We believe in summer Fridays.
Casual dress, some free food, a good number of happy hours and outings.
Personal transportation is a big plus, but not a must.
