About the role
Families trust us with their kid’s first phone, and the team keeping that promise can only move as fast as the tools behind them. We’re looking for an IT & Systems Administrator to own internal IT end to end, from day-one provisioning to the security of every account our team touches. You’ll be our first dedicated IT hire, tasked with building the foundation and running it day to day. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Fluency using AI as a multiplier across troubleshooting, scripting, and documentation, this is how we work, not a nice-to-have
