IS&T HelpLine Technical Support Analyst

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. The Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) team manages key business and technical infrastructure at Apple -- how we take an order online, the experience with technology in our retail stores, how much network capacity we need around the world, the processing of every credit card an iTunes customer uses, and closing the books. IS&T does it all. We are looking for an Information Systems Technician to join our team. The IS&T HelpLine provides technical support to Apple’s employees, contractors, and vendors throughout the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We support Apple’s products and services from hardware to software as well as Apple’s elite information technology infrastructure from the data and voice networks to each user’s Mac or iOS device and everything in between. This is a very fast-paced and highly demanding internal help desk environment. If you have a strong passion to work in a growing environment of innovation while exuding deep collaboration skills, this position is for you. We’re committed to helping employees explore their potential.
