As IT Support Engineer, you will be Alta Ares' go\-to person for all internal IT operations — from provisioning laptops and creating email accounts to managing access rights and supporting employees across international offices. You will ensure that a fast\-moving, security\-conscious team always has the tools, access, and support it needs to operate at full speed.
This is a hands\-on, high\-ownership role. You will build and maintain the internal IT infrastructure from a relatively early stage, establish robust processes for a company scaling rapidly, and work in close coordination on security and access policies.
1\. Device \& Asset Management
- Own the full lifecycle of Alta Ares' hardware fleet: procurement, configuration, inventory tracking, maintenance, and decommissioning
- Manage the laptop and equipment stock across Paris HQ and other offices
- Configure and deploy workstations for new joiners (MacOS / Windows / Linux depending on role)
- Maintain an up\-to\-date asset register and ensure all devices comply with internal security standards
- Coordinate repairs, replacements, and hardware upgrades
2\. User \& Identity Management
- Create and manage corporate email accounts (Google Workspace) for all new joiners
- Assign and administer software licences across the tool stack: Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and other internal platforms
- Manage user access and permissions across all systems — ensuring least\-privilege principles are applied consistently
- Own the joiners/movers/leavers (JML) process from an IT perspective: timely provisioning and deprovisioning of all accounts and access rights
- Maintain accurate, up\-to\-date user directories and licence inventories
3\. Onboarding \& Offboarding
- Execute the IT component of onboarding for all new hires: workstation setup, account creation, tool access, and first\-day readiness
- Brief new joiners on IT tools, security practices, and internal procedures
- Manage IT offboarding: account suspension, licence recovery, device retrieval, and access revocation — in coordination with HR
- Maintain and continuously improve IT onboarding checklists and runbooks
4\. Internal IT Support
- Serve as the first point of contact for all internal IT support requests across Paris and remote offices
- Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, and connectivity issues in a timely manner
- Manage a ticket queue and maintain SLA\-aligned response times
- Produce and maintain IT documentation: FAQs, setup guides, and troubleshooting resources
5\. Access \& Permissions Management
- Administer access controls across internal systems, cloud platforms, and SaaS tools
- Conduct periodic access reviews and ensure permissions remain aligned with roles and security policies
- Support the implementation of SSO, MFA, and MDM solutions as the company scales
- Flag and remediate access anomalies proactively

- Solid understanding of IT asset management: procurement, inventory, configuration, and lifecycle tracking
- Experience owning onboarding/offboarding IT processes end\-to\-end
- Exposure to IAM principles, MDM solutions (Jamf, Intune, or equivalent), and endpoint security is a strong plus
