Job Description

  • Responsible for responding and resolving technology related issues using the AeroFarms service management system (Jira)
  • Assessing issues and escalating to other technology teams throughout IT
  • Assists with testing of internal IT developed applications and report bugs
  • Work at the direction of the Sr. IT Support Engineer

Work Environment

Hardware has to be prepared for users and that happens at our corporate offices in Newark, sometimes trainings need to be given to users that are working at our farm operation etc. There will be an in-person element that will maximize the experience for the individual in the function to learn more about the organization and company.  

Education & Experience

  • Passionate about technology, you are the kind of person who likes to dive into tech and really understand what it is and how to get the best out of it
  • You are ideally a college senior or recent graduate who wants to gain some real world experience in the field of IT.
  • Practical experience in the IT related field is all welcome, we know it comes in many forms!
  • Customer service mindset: in support you are there to help those other users who maybe do not understand the tech as well as you, you are there to bridge that gap and ensure their needs are met.

Personal Attributes

  • Collaboration - we know we cannot fix the worlds problems as an individual, we have to work together as a team to make that happen. Teamwork is how we get there! 
  • Communication - we are a small company (in relative terms - 200 employees), we work well together because we communicate well with each other. You must demonstrate why our mission is important to you: everyone who works at AeroFarms has a strong link to the mission: we want to hear why it means something to you!
  • Agility - What we do has never been done before: we are an innovation company, there is no right or wrong way to do things, we constantly develop how we operate, we can always elevate what we are doing and never claim to have it right. 
  • Accountability - we don’t micromanage, we hire individuals who know what they need to do and can do so with minimal direction and take ownership of their projects and deadlines. 
  • Respect - We are already starting our journey scaling around the world: we want our team to represent every kind of individual out on plant earth and we need to respect different people, different ideas, different cultures etc. We can learn so much from each other, but respect is key
  • Empowerment - we provide an environment for growth and development: we need your help to develop our business, we will help you develop in your career, and sky is the limit given our growth plans!!
