The Role

We'd like to tell you a story -- a tale of two IT Operations Specialists, if you will.

It's Monday morning in a generic office space that's bathed in a dull fluorescent light. Already two coffees deep, you've dragged yourself into a familiar corner cubicle. Steve says his internet isn't working. You hate Steve. Why? Because a quick glance behind his desk reveals that his ethernet cable is unplugged. You tell him this... twice a week. He never seems to get it. When you were in school, you had no idea how much of your time would be spent telling people to turn things off and then back on. If you did, you would have dropped out. You got into this line of work so that you could put your expertise towards tackling big problems. Instead, your job is to essentially possess a basic level of technological literacy. That, and installing Windows XP on decades-old machines. You fantasize about setting the server room on fire and driving as far away as a car will take you. This fantasy grows more vivid with each passing day.

In an alternate universe, that same Monday morning is now set within dbrand's office. There are no corner cubicles or unplugged ethernet cables. Just a mesh Wi-Fi network that everybody already knows how to use. Babysitting people who don't know what a driver is? That's below your pay grade. Instead, your days are spent tackling the bigger problems. Whether you're procuring new software solutions, optimizing our network, or writing new technical documentation for internal use, one thing's for certain: your considerable talents are being put to good use. Your days aren't measured by how many times you've asked "have you tried turning it off?," they're measured by how many unique and challenging problems you've managed to solve.

If you're reading this, it's pretty likely that your Mondays are a lot closer to the first story than the second one -- you're also probably looking to change that. Well, we've got good news and bad news. The good news is that by opening this job ad, you're already one step closer to making the dream a reality. The bad news? We're only hiring one IT Operations Specialist. We need a knowledgeable, dedicated team player who's a bona fide master in the art of system administration. If that's not you, save us all some time and close this tab. If, on the other hand, you check all of the boxes? Your Mondays are about to get a lot more interesting.
