## Description

As an IT Support Engineer at Helsing, you will be the first line of defence for our employees' day-to-day technology experience in our UK or German office.

You'll keep our people productive by resolving issues quickly, owning the device and account lifecycle, and ensuring meeting rooms, endpoints and SaaS tools "just work".

You'll work closely with our wider IT Engineering team to spot recurring problems, automate them away, and continuously raise the bar on the quality of IT service across Helsing , directly enabling the engineers, AI specialists, and program managers building capabilities that protect our democracies.

The day-to-day:

- Provide technical support to end-users via Slack, email, and in-person troubleshooting hardware, software, identity, and connectivity issues across macOS, Windows, and iOS.

- Own and triage tickets in Jira Service Management, ensuring timely resolution, clear communication, and appropriate escalation of complex issues to the IT Engineering team.

- Manage the full user and device lifecycle: onboarding, offboarding, joiners/movers/leavers, MDM enrolment, account provisioning, and access reviews.

- Proactively maintain local video conferencing hardware, meeting rooms, printers, and other office IT, and provide hands-on support for company events and town halls.

- Administer day-to-day operations in Microsoft 365 (Entra ID, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams) and other SaaS tools used across Helsing.

- Build and maintain documentation, runbooks, and self-service knowledge content to scale the team's impact.

- Identify recurring issues and partner with IT Engineering to design longer-term fixes and automations

You should apply if you:

- Have 3+ years of experience in an IT support role, ideally including L2/L3 responsibilities in a fast-moving environment

- Have hands-on experience supporting macOS, Windows, and iOS, and a solid grasp of identity, endpoint, and SaaS troubleshooting.

- Enjoy solving technical problems, are eager to learn new technologies, and have a genuine passion for helping others succeed.

- Can prioritise and manage multiple competing tasks calmly in a dynamic environment.

- Bring a proactive mindset. You spot and resolve potential issues before they become outages or tickets.

- Bring a customer-first attitude with strong communication skills and a focus on delivering an excellent user experience.

- Your personal values match ours: ownership, initiative, dedication to mission, speed, and inclusiveness.

- Feel strongly about the right of democracies to defend their sovereignty through the fielding of capabilities that bolster deterrence and decisive action.

Nice to have:

- Experience working with M365, more specifically Entra ID, Exchange and SharePoint.

- Experience working with Mobile Device Management tools like Intune, Jamf and JumpCloud.

- Experience working with PowerShell or Python to automate workflows.

- Hands-on experience with networking concepts like Zero Trust and VPN troubleshooting.

- Experience working in a fast-growing startup or a high-paced, dynamic environment.

Join Helsing and work with world-leading experts in their fields:

- Helsing's work is important. You'll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns.

- The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital.

- Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure.

- In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities.

- We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it.

What we offer:

- A focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

- Competitive compensation and VSOP options

- Relocation support

- Social and education allowances

- Regular company events and all-hands to bring together employees as one team across Europe

- A hands-on onboarding program (affectionately labelled "Infraduction"), in which you will be building tooling and applications to be used across the company.
