IT Support Engineer

Dunedin based / Hybrid (3 days per week)

We’re building a modern technology platform that applies data engineering and AI to a problem with real global consequence: proving trust and transparency in supply chains. Our work protects people from exploitation, gives brands confidence in what they sell, and supports more sustainable global supply chains.

At Oritain, IT plays a critical role in enabling our global teams to work securely, efficiently, and without friction. We’re a globally distributed organisation with teams across Dunedin, Auckland, London, Singapore, and the United States.

The Role

This is a service‑desk‑first IT Support Engineer role (L1–L3), focused on delivering reliable, high‑quality support to Oritain’s global user base. You’ll be the visible, approachable face of IT — resolving issues, supporting day‑to‑day operations, and owning tickets end‑to‑end to ensure a great employee experience.

Alongside core IT support, this role is AI‑first and automation‑led. You’ll actively use AI‑enabled tools to improve productivity, reduce repetitive tasks, and help evolve how IT services are delivered as Oritain scales.

• Support Microsoft 365, Intune, Azure, and core SaaS applications.

• Troubleshoot networking, connectivity, and infrastructure‑related issues.

• Maintain clear, accurate documentation and knowledge articles to support users and AI‑powered helpdesk tools.

• Use AI tools day‑to‑day to improve productivity and service quality.

• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive support tasks (e.g. onboarding, access requests) and work with the Service Delivery Lead to implement improvements.

• Apply a security‑first mindset to all systems, automation, and AI usage.

• Support patching, endpoint health, infrastructure initiatives, suppliers, and security/audit activities as required.
