About The Position

Tines is looking for a Senior IT Operations Technician to join our global IT team. This is a senior individual contributor role. The candidate should be able to tackle complex operational issues on their own. They will manage enterprise platforms, support our growing federal environment, and mentor the wider IT Operations team. The candidate will also be a point of escalation for more complex issues. You’ll balance day-to-day operational support with project ownership, process improvement, and automation. Because we’re a growing team, you’ll work across a broad technology environment rather than within a narrowly defined platform or support specialty. This is a remote US role open to candidates in the Pacific Time Zone, as this role will provide broader coverage for employees across US time zones and improve working overlap with colleagues in Australia. You’ll report to our IT Manager, who is based in the Eastern Time Zone.

Experience leading root-cause analysis and implementing scalable technical or process improvements.
Experience acting as a technical escalation point and mentoring or coaching other IT professionals.
Strong judgment when balancing employee experience, security, reliability, speed, and business impact.
