About the Role

Polymarket is looking for an IT Specialist to serve as our primary on-site technology resource. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role requiring deep technical expertise paired with a white-glove service mindset. You'll own the helpdesk function end-to-end — from intake to resolution — while serving as the go-to technical resource for the entire office, including executives and senior leadership.

What You'll Do

• Own the full helpdesk lifecycle: intake, triage, prioritization, resolution, and closure of all support tickets; establish and enforce SLA targets

• Provide white-glove, concierge-level support to executives and senior leadership

• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and network-layer issues — LAN/WAN, DNS/DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi, macOS/Windows, and peripheral failures

• Administer user accounts, access provisioning, and endpoint management via MDM (Kandji, Okta, Intune)

• Support onboarding and offboarding workflows including device imaging and account setup

• Maintain and improve internal IT documentation, runbooks, and knowledge base articles

• Manage hardware and software inventory; coordinate procurement and vendor relationships

• Collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams on escalated issues and cross-functional projects

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in IT support, helpdesk, or systems administration

• Demonstrated experience managing and prioritizing tickets in a formal ITSM system (Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, Zendesk, or similar)

• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals: OSI model, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, firewalls, VPN

• Proficiency supporting both macOS and Windows environments

• Experience with MDM solutions (Jamf, Intune, or equivalent) and endpoint security tooling

• Ability to work independently, self-manage priorities, and take initiative without waiting to be directed

• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills — you treat every interaction as a high-value customer experience

• (Plus) Experience supporting trading, fintech, or high-availability business environments

• (Plus) Familiarity with scripting for automation (Bash, PowerShell, Python)

• (Plus) Prior experience as a lead support resource in a lean team

Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity

• Unlimited PTO

• Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage

• 401k match

• Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
