Most of us cross categories on a given week. The shape of a role shifts with what you're better at and what's coming up next.
01
At the keyboard.
Help-desk work: the calls, the tickets, the remote sessions. Your job is to actually fix the issue and write down what you did.
Phone, email, ticket triage
Remote screen-share resolution
Microsoft 365 and account work
Documentation as you go
90s median pickup
02
On-site with a truck.
Field work: server racks, switch swaps, office moves, new-hire desks, the calls that need hands in the room.
Server and rack work
Network and cabling
Workstation deployment
Friday tear-downs, Monday up
35-mi radius across DFW
03
Behind the infrastructure.
The deeper stack: firewalls, EDR, M365 tenants, backup design, security posture. The stuff a help-desk ticket can't see.
SonicWall, Cisco, UniFi
SentinelOne EDR tuning
Backup and DR design
Cloud and DaaS architecture
Stack ownership
FIT / who works here, who doesn't
Two ways of showing up.
We're not for everyone, and that's fine. Here's the honest version.
You like owning the network, not just the ticket.
The fit. You read the dashboard, notice the thing nobody asked about, and either fix it or write the ticket yourself. The win condition isn't closing the queue. It's the network being healthier on Friday than it was Monday.
You carry issues forward instead of handing them off.
The fit. You don't close a ticket "user education" when something keeps recurring. You trace it to root cause and write that down. You email the engineer who handed something to you yesterday and ask what they actually did, because the answer is going to matter Tuesday.
NOT-A-FIT / the honest version
Two patterns we don't hire for.
"It's not my ticket."
The not-fit. If your default is to bounce something off your queue when the cause sits on someone else's machine, this isn't going to be your week. We work the problem, not the boundary.
Slideware over root cause.
The not-fit. If you'd rather write a deck about the outage than find out why it happened, you'll be miserable here. We document, but the document follows the fix, not the other way around.
INTERESTED?
Tell us about yourself.
No application portal, no five-stage pipeline. A note, a résumé if you've got one, a short answer to "what are you good at." We read all of them.
