Desktop Support Engineer

About the Role

Backcountry's fulfillment center runs on reliable technology — from handheld scanners on the warehouse floor to laptops in the office. This role exists to keep that technology running and the people who depend on it productive.

As Desktop Support Engineer , you will be the on-the-ground IT resource at our Utah Fulfillment Center, responsible for hands-on device support, user account management, and vendor coordination. Within your first six months, success means the help desk queue moves faster, devices stay operational through peak season, and operations staff see you as a trusted problem-solver they can rely on.

- Configure, deploy, and maintain laptops, Android handheld scanners, charging stations, and label printers across the warehouse floor and office.

- Manage user accounts end-to-end: onboarding, offboarding, password resets, and access records.

- Support office and warehouse printers, including label printers critical to fulfillment operations.

- Track and manage hardware assets through their full lifecycle.

- Open, track, and follow vendor service cases for warehouse equipment through to verified repair.

- Escalate complex issues with clear documentation so the next person can pick up without re-troubleshooting.
