- Humble, collaborative approach. This is a lean team where everyone contributes
- Comfortable with hands-on work, including occasional lifting up to 50 lbs
Why You'll Like It
- Real ownership of a global network rather than a narrow slice of one
- Design and build work, not just maintenance
- Direct visibility with IT leadership on a small team
- A path to a permanent role through contract-to-hire
- Strong benefits package including 401k match and annual bonus
