As an IT Support Engineer, you'll help keep the core IT infrastructure running that our whole workforce depends on. This is a hands-on role supporting a modern, cloud-first environment; endpoints, identity, SaaS platforms, and automation - so our distributed team stays productive, secure, and connected.

You'll use modern SaaS and MDM tools to support our cloud-forward workplace, from onboarding new hires and provisioning equipment to keeping our secure endpoints up and running.

You'll join a small IT team supporting around 230 people, which makes this a great fit for a mid-level engineer who likes variety, enjoys solving problems, and wants real ownership over the systems and processes they touch.

This role can be based anywhere in New Zealand on a remote basis.
