We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans.
We're looking for an IT Engineer to join our growing IT team.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role sitting alongside our IT Support function.
You'll be both a builder and a doer.
You'll architect and drive the systems that underpin how our team works, while staying deeply connected to the day-to-day realities of on-site infrastructure.
We're looking for a self-starter to lead our major IT initiatives that will enable the company to grow and scale gracefully.
This work includes zero-touch deployment for Windows and macOS, BYOD support for mobile devices, context-aware device access policies, and implementing controls to facilitate compliance with an established security framework.
You'll also serve as an escalation point and mentor for our team of IT Support Specialists, and act as a subject matter expect in our physical office technology - from access control to printers to patch panels.
This is an on-site role in our Portland office.
You should be comfortable operating at multiple levels: one day you're writing configuration profiles to automate workstation security, the next you're installing A/V equipment and running patch cables.
