Description:

In this role, your primary responsibility will be to provide exceptional IT and infrastructure support for all team members. You will work closely with team members of all levels to ensure smooth operations and contribute to the organizations' overall success.

You will have the opportunity to take ownership and be responsible for areas that significantly impact DuckDuckGo's internal infrastructure and continuously improve and maintain them over time.

You will join your colleagues in an on-call rotation in which you will triage and resolve team member support requests as they arise. Your creativity and ability to find innovative solutions will be highly valued. You will have the opportunity to create playbooks and documentation to streamline these requests, and build on automations that enhance the experience for the team and expedite their work.

You will be expected to review and evaluate standard procedures and practices related to team member support, identifying areas of improvement and implementing changes that enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

This role and team are vital to ensuring members of DuckDuckGo have the necessary support and resources to perform their roles effectively and efficiently.
