About the Role

We are looking for a part-time IT Support Contractor to assist our Director of IT & Infrastructure with day-to-day technical operations. This is a people-first support role; you will be the go-to technical resource for our internal teams across esports, studios, apparel, operations, and more, helping them stay unblocked and fully operational. Whether that means keeping live streams running flawlessly, staging a LAN event in our office, or helping provision a new employee’s accounts, you show up with urgency, patience, and a service mindset.

The ideal candidate has a strong IT generalist background combined with hands-on experience in SaaS administration, live streaming, online broadcasting systems, and gaming environments. You thrive in fast-moving, collaborative workplaces and genuinely enjoy helping people solve problems.
