Be part of a growing team, loved by our clients, with many opportunities for future growth, training, and development.

Join a team that provides the highest customer support experience through standard operating procedures, well-developed support tools, and customer service-focused support staff.

We are accountable to each other and believe in the power of hard work directed at the right thing.  We know that our industry doesn’t stay the same, and if we don’t increase our value to clients, someone else will.  We are open-minded and candid with each other so we can find out what is true and consider alternative viewpoints.  We believe in creating and using well-documented systems.

What is this Position?

As a Professional Services Technician, you will help design and implement reliable technical IT infrastructure as part of our Professional Services team, including complex server, networking, and application solutions.  You will also be involved in escalated troubleshooting that is unable to be resolved on the support desk, including business software, endpoint hardware, and infrastructure outages.  You will go to Client sites and interact directly with key client contacts. 

Professional service positions are an essential part of our service offering because of how directly it interacts with clients, including business owners. How well we implement new solutions has a direct impact on the client’s experience and how effective we can be in supporting the solution over the long term.   

The typical range of activities includes migrating applications to new hardware or cloud services, remediating infrastructure failures in person, and installing and replacing infrastructure like servers, switches, access points, firewalls, and workstations.  

This position is best for people who have a fundamental understanding of a wide array of technologies and want to use that skill to support small businesses with their entire technology stack in mind.

Fanatically good documentation, thoroughness, and attention to detail are critical to delivering good outcomes.  The activities of this role directly impact the efficiency and capabilities of all other teams.  You must be following procedures exactly, updating them, or creating them.   

You must have good customer service skills and genuinely enjoy interacting with other people. If you prefer the nuts and bolts without social interaction, this is not the job for you.
