About the role
- This is an IT Ops Engineer role that owns networking as a domain while working the full employee technology surface.
- It is designed for someone who came up through IT operations, went deep on networking, and wants to keep broadening from there.
Responsibilities
- Own the office and remote network as a reliable, monitored system: wireless, wired LAN and switching, DNS, DHCP, IP address management (IPAM), VPN, and Zero Trust access.
- Run network monitoring, and manage configuration through automation and version control where the platform supports it.
- Own the networking MSP relationship as a technical partner: hold them to outcomes, own the escalation path, and make sure what they build lands back documented and operable by our team.
- Work the shared IT support queue alongside the team, helping Discordians with their day-to-day IT needs.
- Look past the individual ticket to the workflow underneath: find the recurring breakdowns, automate them away, and measure the result in time and risk saved.
- Participate in on-call rotations.
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on corporate and enterprise networking: wireless, switching, DNS, DHCP, IPAM, VPN and Zero Trust access.
- Generalist knowledge across identity, endpoint management, and SaaS management.
- Real automation chops: comfortable scripting, building no-code and low-code workflows, and using AI to build automation faster.
- A business-problem mindset, strong full-stack troubleshooting instincts, and a collaborative, low-ego, secure-by-design posture with clear written communication.
- 5+ years of experience managing IT systems in high growth tech companies.
Preferred qualifications
- Network certifications (CCNA, CCNP) or equivalent demonstrated depth.
- Exposure to SOC 2 or SOX access-review processes.
- Background in high-growth consumer tech and multi-region support.
