About Us
We’re Rain City Capital–a private real estate lender. We put our borrowers first, which is how we’ve built our business almost exclusively on word-of-mouth referrals. No two workdays are the same, so our team is comprised of individuals who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and take care of business. Our office is energetic, fun, and committed to leading the industry by putting the relationship before the transaction.
About You
You’re looking to kickstart your career with a fun and fast-paced role supporting IT and Systems for a growing company. You’re known for creative problem solving and have excellent multi-tasking and prioritization abilities. You’re self-driven, tech-savvy, energetic, excellent at researching solutions, easily adaptable to change, and up for a challenge. You’re relentlessly proactive and organized, and pitch in to help your team members when needed.
You’re a student or recent graduate of information systems or have a couple of years’ experience in support or helpdesk. You have a good understanding of IT basics, as well as a customer service attitude and desire to make stuff happen. See below for more details on preferred qualifications.
About the Job
As part of the IT team at Rain City Capital, your primary job function will be to remove technology roadblocks to keep people working efficiently. You’ll look for ways to make your job (and theirs) simpler by managing a great onboarding experience, providing training on how to use their tools better, maintaining hardware and software to keep us current, and keeping spare equipment for that quick replacement vs. break-fix troubleshooting.
Roles and Responsibilities
Tech stack: We’re a Microsoft cloud shop using MS365 for Windows and Office, Azure AD for management, SharePoint for file storage, Dynamics CRM, etc.
General hardware: While there are a few remaining desktops at our office location, we’re mostly using current Surface laptops and docks for users. No servers here—just some network switches, WiFi in the office, and a bunch of items on the cloud. We manage the user experience, not a closet full of lights.
Other tech stuff: We use Teams to manage our phone numbers, the odd printer here or there, a few non-MS applications, and all sorts of general peripherals to keep in shape.
Opportunity: There are lots of opportunities to use our existing systems to their fullest potential that will help make IT better and faster. Your first projects may include automating the onboarding process, helping with the SharePoint Intranet for collaboration and news updates, creating procedures and quick tip sheets to help users expand their skills, and other stuff we haven’t thought of yet.
