About Mecka AI
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
The role
Mecka is looking for a Junior IT & Security Operations Specialist to help our team work smoothly and securely. You will be a first point of contact for everyday technology needs, help manage employee devices and access, and learn how to review routine security findings. You will work closely with the Security/IT Lead, who will guide you on complex issues and review production changes.
What you’ll do
-
Prepare and support Windows and Mac laptops, including setup, software installation, inventory, and troubleshooting.
-
Help onboard and offboard employees by following approved account, device, and access procedures.
-
Respond to employee support requests clearly and promptly; document fixes and escalate issues you cannot resolve.
-
Check endpoint enrollment, software updates, patch status, and routine vulnerability findings.
-
Review routine security alerts and logs, record relevant details, and escalate suspicious activity.
-
Maintain clear setup guides, asset records, and operational checklists.
-
Assist with supervised work in Google Workspace, Authentik, Linux, Ansible, Elastic, and other tools as you learn them.
What you bring
-
Up to two years of IT support or systems experience; internships, coursework, certifications, and hands-on personal projects count.
-
Comfort helping people troubleshoot common Windows or macOS problems.
-
Basic understanding of user accounts, permissions, networking, and safe handling of company data.
-
Good written communication, attention to detail, and willingness to ask questions and escalate when needed.
-
Interest in learning security operations and automation.
Helpful, but not required
Experience with Google Workspace, device management, Linux, scripting, Ansible, Elastic, or identity and access management. You do not need experience with every tool to apply.
