Job Summary

The IT Support Analyst is responsible for Tier 1/2 endpoint support, identity and access management operations, MDM administration, and IT security tooling across a 100+ user Microsoft 365 and Okta-integrated environment. The role operates within a structured ITSM framework (Freshservice) and interfaces directly with endpoint protection platforms (SentinelOne EDR, Microsoft Defender), device management infrastructure (Intune, Apple Business Manager), and onboarding/offboarding automation workflows. The position requires demonstrated hands-on experience with both Windows and macOS in a corporate setting, strong documentation discipline, and the ability to triage, escalate, and resolve issues with minimal supervision.

About the Role

Knightscope's IT team runs a modern, cloud-first stack supporting a hybrid workforce across engineering, operations, and executive functions. This role sits at the center of that stack — owning day-to-day endpoint operations, managing the full device lifecycle from provisioning through decommission, and supporting identity workflows tied to Okta SSO and Microsoft Entra.  ID. You'll work directly with the Director of IT on infrastructure projects alongside helpdesk operations, including ongoing rollouts of security tooling, AV systems, and IT process automation. The environment is technically demanding, moves fast, and rewards candidates who can self-direct across multiple concurrent workstreams. Candidates who thrive with autonomy, move decisively through ambiguity, and communicate clearly across remote teams will excel here.
