Both roles are essential in a typical IT support structure and often require similar certifications, but Tier 2 demands more technical expertise.

Job description

Siepe is a fast-growing technology company headquartered in Dallas, TX – focused on helping investment managers turn complexity into clarity. We build software and data solutions that give hedge funds and financial services firms the visibility, speed, and confidence they need to make better decisions – faster. 
 
Our platform delivers a unified source of truth that empowers our clients with real-time, actionable insights. We don’t just serve the industry – we help modernize it!

As a Tier 1 IT Support Engineer, you will serve as the first point of contact for technical support issues.  Primarily remotely supporting clients but on-site support will be needed at times. This role blends technical problem-solving with exceptional customer service/communication skills, supporting cloud-first environments and high-demand financial users.  It is vital that this role is carried out in a professional, courteous, and friendly manner as they will be working very closely with our client and represent Siepe.

We are currently seeking a customer service–focused engineer to provide white-glove onsite support for our primarily U.S. based clients.

  • Install, configure, and support virtual and physical workstations (desktops/laptops with multiple monitors)
  • Monitor ticketing systems for inbound support requests, ensuring timely acknowledgment and response in accordance with defined SLAs
  • Monitor infrastructure and system alerts across all monitoring platforms, identifying, investigating, and escalating issues as required
  • Perform system health checks following a detailed checklist to verify the status of critical systems and services, addressing or escalating issues as necessary
  • Execute routine maintenance tasks as directed, ensuring adherence to standard operating procedures and change management processes
  • Managing and updating IT inventory
  • Coordinate escalations by contacting escalation team members or responsible personnel in the event of critical incidents requiring immediate attention.
  • Recommend and implement solutions that will help to propel Siepe’s reputation as a high-quality IT services provider in the financial services space
  • Work closely with senior leadership on opportunities where technical expertise is required during the business development process
What You'll Bring
  • 2-3 years of previous IT support experience; MSP experience preferred
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Excellent attention to detail and time management
  • Expertise with ticketing system(s), time entry/management, and SLA-drive environments
  • In-depth knowledge of Microsoft operating systems is required
    • Expert level knowledge in supporting Windows 10 and 11 workstations
    • Working knowledge of Windows Server 2025, 2022, and 2019
  • Proficient in Microsoft Active Directory (traditional and Entra ID)
    • Create AD users, groups, and group policies with minimal guidance
    • Manage workstations in traditional domain and Entra ID
    • Manage file server shares and permissions
  • Knowledge and experience with Microsoft 365
    • Entra ID
    • SharePoint
    • Endpoint/Intune
    • Exchange Online

  • Strong understanding of security best practices as it relates to securing local applications, end user data, and workstations
  • Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud support experience (setup, configuration, design and support of cloud based workloads)
  • Experience supporting and setting up Microsoft 365 users, accounts, configurations
  • Familiarity with Mobile Device Management and Mobile Application Management platforms (Endpoint/Intune, Azure Conditional Access)
  • Basic networking skills and infrastructure skills like:

    • Rule creation
    • Troubleshooting of network route and connectivity issues
    • Wireless network and access point setup and support
  • In-depth knowledge of supporting Excel and add-ins
