Desktop Support Engineer (Contract OR Permanent), Top Hedge Fund in Chicago

My client, a top hedge fund in Chicago, is hiring for Desktop Support Engineers to provide in-depth technical support on hardware, software, and connectivity for end-users across the office, working in a self-directed manner with a high level of “white-glove / VIP-level” customer service in a fast-paced, highly sensitive environment. The role is available on Contract or FTE (permanent hire).

This is an excellent opportunity for an up-and-coming Desktop Engineer to work in a fast-paced environment at a top hedge fund, alongside world-class teammates. The firm likes to hire talented people and then let them work in a semi-autonomous, “entrepreneurial,” fashion, so that they can take charge of solving issues, while growing and learning new skills with additional technology exposure that they can take with them whether they work with the firm long term or wherever they go in the future.

Candidates must have at least 3 years of relevant IT support experience including a mixture of Windows, PC hardware, mobile device management, wifi, VPN, ideally some Apple device support, Office, Outlook, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Exchange, TC/IP, VDI, Citrix, videoconferencing, and white-glove/VIP customer service skills.

Does this role sound like a fit for you or someone you know? If so, please get in touch. I can be reached at 646-381-2067 or Matt.Kerwin@HarringtonStarr.com.
