About The Role
Ambient.ai is growing fast, and we’re looking for a hands-on Senior IT & Operations Manager to keep our people, devices, and networks humming. This hybrid role blends classic IT systems administration with hardware deployment and vendor coordination. You’ll own day-to-day infrastructure operations, support our employees, and ensure our edge devices and internal systems are secure, reliable, and well-managed.
What You’ll Do
IT Infrastructure Management

  • Oversee daily operations of laptops, workstations, servers, networking gear, and SaaS systems across office and lab environments.
  • Maintain identity and access management, device management, and endpoint security baselines (e.g., MDM, SSO, EDR).
  • Procure, rack/stack, image, and configure PCs, servers, peripherals, and networking equipment.
  • Set up conference rooms, lab benches, cameras/sensors, and demo environments as needed.
  • Diagnose hardware and system issues; coordinate warranty/RMA and perform component-level swaps.
System Administration
  • Administer macOS/Windows/Linux endpoints and lab/edge systems (user provisioning, hardening, policies, imaging).
  • Manage networking services (e.g., DNS/DHCP, file shares, VPN, Wi-Fi, VLANs, RBAC).
  • Create and maintain runbooks, SOPs, and architecture/asset documentation.
End-User IT Support
  • Provide empathetic, high-signal support for employees (in-person and remote) across devices, apps, and access.
  • Manage the service desk queue (SLAs, triage, escalation), and produce clear user-facing guides.
Vendor & Asset Management
  • Own vendor relationships for devices, parts, and services; negotiate quotes and coordinate onsite work.
  • Track inventory, licenses, and lifecycle (procurement to decommissioning) with accurate asset records.
