Junior IT Support Engineer

WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means is that we always lean forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients’ problems, no matter where you are in the world.

JOB PURPOSE

We value your openness to constructive feedback and your ability to apply newly acquired skills to future tasks and projects.
