IT Support & Operations Specialist

Social Discovery Group

Responsibilities

  • Run the infrastructure end-to-end: VPS, dedicated servers, virtual machines, VPN, MFA, firewall, remote access — plus the monitoring, logging, and backups that keep it honest.
  • Administer Google Workspace completely — accounts, groups, aliases, security policy, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and any migrations that come with it.
  • Own Slack, OpenAI, and every other SaaS platform we run — including version and system migrations when they happen.
  • Be the actual IT support for a distributed team — L1/L2 on Mac and Windows, onboarding and offboarding, remote laptop setup, device lifecycle.
  • Negotiate with vendors, manage procurement, and control payment on cloud resources, licenses, and invoices — the part most sysadmins never touch, but you will.
  • Show up occasionally when we run an offline "station" and physically set up the room — laptops, mics, sound.

Requirements

  • You've got working knowledge of at least one public cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and the on-prem basics — DNS, DHCP, VPN, VLAN, firewall.

We are looking for

IT Support & Operations Specialist

We expect from you

  • You've spent 5+ years as a sysadmin or in IT ops, and you've actually run Google Workspace top to bottom — including a domain migration, not just user management.
  • You know Slack, Confluence, Jira, and SSO/2FA (Okta, Google, Azure AD or similar) from hands-on use, not a course.
  • You've built and tested backups, not just scheduled them, and you understand mail security (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) well enough to fix it when it breaks.
  • You've dealt with vendors and procurement directly — contracts, invoices, renewals — this isn't a nice-to-have here, it's half the job.
  • Scripting (bash/Python/PowerShell) is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Your English and Russian are both solid enough — B1+ — to run a call with a vendor without a script.
