Job Summary
The IT Support Analyst / IT Integration Specialist owns day-to-day Tier 1/2 IT support and systems administration for a 200+ user environment, with an added focus on integrating Knightscope Security Force onto Knightscope's enterprise stack. This individual will serve as the sole on-site IT resource, with direct support from the IT team at Knightscope HQ in Sunnyvale, CA. In addition to integration responsibilities, this role provides day‑to‑day Tier 1/2 IT support for both local and remote Knightscope employees, ensuring reliable access to systems, devices, and productivity tools across the organization. This position also supports Knightscope’s broader employee base, delivering responsive, day‑to‑day IT support to both on‑site staff in Sunnyvale and remote employees nationwide.
About The Role
Knightscope recently acquired Event Risk LLC, a nationwide security services firm now rebranding as Knightscope Security Force. This role sits at the center of that integration — owning the full technology convergence between two organizations while standing up IT support for a high-turnover, field-based security workforce. You'll report directly to Knightscope's Director of IT in Sunnyvale and serve as the primary IT support for Security Force leadership and staff offsite. The stack is modern and cloud-first; the environment is fast-moving and operationally demanding. Candidates who thrive with autonomy, move decisively through ambiguity, and communicate clearly across remote teams will excel here.
Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end IT integration of Knightscope Security Force onto Knightscope's technology stack, including Microsoft 365/Entra ID tenant alignment, Okta SSO enrollment, SentinelOne EDR deployment, and Freshservice ITSM onboarding

• Serve as the primary local IT contact for Knightscope Security Force leadership and staff
• Assess and document existing IT infrastructure, network topology, and systems at Ohio-based locations
• Coordinate device procurement, imaging, and deployment for field staff and administrative employees
• Partner with Knightscope HQ IT on security tooling rollout, compliance posture, and platform standardization
• Support Freshservice ticket queue for the Security Force workforce; build out service catalog workflows specific to field operations
• Support and manage existing Knightscope Security Force SaaS platforms during integration, including Therms, Center Seat, Concur, Employee Navigator, HRIS Systems, and Intuit QuickBooks Enterprise Suite (AR/AP/invoicing)
• Document all integration activities, decisions, and configurations to Knightscope IT standards
• Provide daily Tier 1/2 IT support for local and remote Knightscope employees, including hardware, software, identity access, and productivity tooling
• Serve as a primary point of contact for end‑user IT issues across multiple time zones and work environments.

• Experience deploying or managing endpoint security tooling (SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or similar EDR)
• Familiarity with Freshservice, ServiceNow, or comparable ITSM platform; strong documentation and SLA discipline required
