At Similarweb, we are revolutionizing the way businesses interact with the digital world by revealing to them everything that happens online.

In 2021, we went public on the New York Stock Exchange, and we continue to reach new heights! Come work alongside Similarwebbers across the globe who are bright, curious, practical and good people.

Why this role is important at Similarweb:

At Similarweb, our global workforce is our greatest engine of innovation, and the IT Help Desk is the team that keeps that engine running at peak performance. We aren't looking for "ticket takers"—we are seeking exceptionally skilled IT engineers to help build a dynamic support team.

You’ll work closely with IT Engineers and the IT Operations Team to provide efficient, customer-focused support across a wide range of tools, including Google Workspace, Okta, and endpoint management platforms.

This role will be critical in supporting our company-wide 'AI in Motion' initiative. The IT Helpdesk is responsible for enabling and governing the use of core AI tools like Gemini (for personal productivity in Google Workspace), ChatGPT, Base44, and Claude, while ensuring agent identity and security are managed through platforms like Okta’s identity framework.

This is a great opportunity for a tech-savvy problem solver who enjoys troubleshooting, learning new technologies, and contributing to process improvements in a dynamic SaaS environment.

• Maintain network connectivity, hardware, peripherals, and Audio/Video Conferencing systems.

2. IT Operations & Lifecycle Management

• Execute the full employee lifecycle for IT access: provisioning accounts, access, and devices for new hires, and securely managing offboarding processes.
• Manage user identities, groups, and permissions within centralized systems like Okta to ensure least-privilege access.
• Maintain a precise and up-to-date IT asset inventory, overseeing the complete lifecycle of laptops, accessories, and software licenses.

3. Process Improvement & Knowledge

• Drive process improvements and automation initiatives to enhance the efficiency and quality of IT service delivery.
• Create and maintain high-quality internal IT documentation and knowledge base articles.
• Collaborate with IT Engineering and Operations teams on projects to elevate the overall employee technology experience.

• MDM solutions (Jamf, Kandji, Intune, etc.)

• Basic scripting knowledge (Bash, PowerShell, or Python) — a plus.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a customer-first mindset.
• Ability to work effectively across global teams and time zones.
