StageBio is seeking a full-time IT Site Technician to join our Frederick, MD facility. The IT Site Technician will support the office environment and the day-to-day help desk ticket queue. The IT Site Technician handles end-user hardware, peripheral and conference room support, troubleshooting, onboarding and offboarding execution, basic networking, productivity suite administration, and email security triage. The role supports walk-up requests, vendor coordination, laboratory equipment support, and general office technology. The position requires the experience and judgement to triage, document, and resolve issues independently with minimal supervision.

This position is deeply rooted in Tier 1 help desk support and general Tier 1 IT activities — on both the end-user support side and the ongoing engineering and project side of the house. The successful candidate should expect to absorb the full weight of Tier 1 ticket volume, walk-up support, hardware deployment, routine onboarding and offboarding work, and the broad range of day-to-day activities that keep the office running. Tier 1 ownership is the core of the role and the primary measure of success.

StageBio runs a hands-on IT organization with broad technical scope. The IT Site Technician reports directly to the Director of IT Operations and will work alongside senior technical staff. A candidate who consistently manages the Tier 1 load will have direct exposure to senior-level work across multiple IT and business disciplines. Over time, and on a case-by-case basis, the IT Site Technician will have opportunities to shadow and participate in Tier 2 and Tier 3 troubleshooting, infrastructure and application projects, security and compliance initiatives, and broader IT strategy discussions. This is an environment where a driven, organized technician can meaningfully expand their skill set beyond help desk work — provided the Tier 1 baseline is consistently met.
