IT Support Engineer
As an IT Support Engineer at Bezos Academy, you thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and solve problems end to end. You’ll work hands-on across our entire technology stack—from endpoint support to SaaS workflows—and play a key role in building the processes, automation, and documentation that will scale our support model as we grow.
Your experience and excellent communication skills will be essential in providing end-user technical support across SaaS, PaaS, and end-user computing devices that empower our organization to expand rapidly. You take full ownership of issues: documenting each step, resolving what you can, and ensuring escalations include complete context—not just a handoff. Every interaction reflects your commitment to customer satisfaction, with a focus on user education, continuous improvement, and data security.
As part of a small, high-impact team, you’ll work at every level—from designing workflows and building automation to providing strategic and operational support. Your contributions will help establish the foundation for Technology Services, not only in terms of the tools we use, but also through policy development and team culture. Above all, you are motivated by our mission to expand access to high-quality preschool in underserved areas and are eager to support us as we scale.
