Role Overview

Promise's artists and productions depend on a demanding mix of workstations, cloud, storage, and media transfer tools every day, and on IT support that keeps all of it moving.

As IT Support Engineer, you own day-to-day IT support for the studio: tickets answered, machines imaged and enrolled, accounts and access provisioned as people rotate across projects, and artists back to work fast. You are as comfortable in a cloud console troubleshooting a VM as you are at a desk with a workstation, and you know your way around the transfer and review tools a studio lives on.

This is a junior role with a real growth path into infrastructure work as the studio grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the IT support channel: triage, resolve, escalate, and close the loop with the person, at the pace a live studio runs.

• Image, enroll, and maintain macOS and Windows workstations under device management, including GPU workstations for artists.

• Provision and deprovision accounts, storage access, and permissions as people join productions and rotate across projects.

• Troubleshoot cloud virtual machines, GPU and driver issues, and permissions.

• Support the studio's media transfer, storage, and review tools and the network basics behind those tools.

• Support meeting rooms, review spaces, and the fundamentals that make a studio day work.

• Coordinate with hardware and software vendors on quotes, orders, and licenses.

• Document as you go so the next fix is faster than the last.

Qualifications

• 1 to 3 years in IT support, or equivalent hands-on depth.

• Working knowledge of macOS and Windows administration, and comfort in a terminal.

• Familiarity with at least one cloud platform (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and with VM troubleshooting.

• Working knowledge of studio transfer, storage, and review tools such as LucidLink, Aspera, Box, or Flow Capture.

• A service temperament: calm, responsive, and fast to unblock people.

• On-site availability in Los Angeles.

Preferred

• MDM experience (Jamf, Intune, or similar).

• Studio or post-production environment exposure.

• Networking basics (VLANs, DHCP and IP management, firewalls).

• Scripting.

• Interest in growing into infrastructure engineering.

Compensation

We offer a highly competitive compensation package commensurate with experience, including equity.

Benefits

We believe in supporting our team’s well-being and growth. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage, with employee premiums covered 100%.

• Time Off: Generous paid time off (PTO) policy, including company holidays and sick leave.
