Job Summary

Blend IT runs three complementary teams: Helpdesk (day-to-day employee productivity, including hands-on fleet and identity operations), Infrastructure & Projects (platform-level architecture for the systems, SaaS, and automation tooling IT depends on), and Enterprise Apps (Finance, GTM, and People Ops stacks).

We're hiring a Senior Helpdesk Engineer to be the bridge between the T1 queue and Helpdesk's project work: own escalations that go past Tier 1, and take Helpdesk-driven projects, especially the AI-and-automation-first initiatives that keep getting pulled off track by day-to-day capacity, from kickoff to finish without needing someone else to close the loop. You'll be the person asking "should a human even be doing this one?" for every recurring request, and then actually building the answer, freeing Helpdesk leadership to set direction instead of getting pulled back into the queue to keep projects moving.

This is a builder's role, not a ticket-taker's role. We're looking for someone who is genuinely self-learning: comfortable researching an unfamiliar problem from scratch, forming a hypothesis, testing it, and proposing a fix, rather than waiting to be told the answer or escalating everything that isn't already documented. You'll be expected to bring solutions to the table, not just tickets, and to own a project through to completion, not just start it.

How You Will Contribute

AI & Automation: Owning the Pivot

• Identify recurring ticket patterns and turn them into automated or AI-assisted resolutions: self-service, agentic triage, workflow automation (e.g., Workato), rather than solving the same request by hand every time.
• Propose and prototype new automation or AI approaches to Helpdesk work; bring ideas forward rather than waiting for direction.
• Continuously evaluate what should move from "a human resolves this" to "a system resolves this, with a human as backstop," and help build that system.
• Document what you automate so it survives past you. Future teammates shouldn't have to reverse-engineer a workflow to trust it.
