About Unlock
Unlock’s mission is to unleash the power of home equity to enrich people’s lives. We do this through a financial solution called a Home Equity Agreement or HEA, an entirely new way to access and utilize home equity. We’re not a lender, so there are no interest charges or monthly payments and homeowners with poor credit or high levels of debt can still qualify. We're beyond passionate about helping our customers build greater financial resiliency. We are mission driven, consumer centric and our products are designed for the way homeowners want to live their lives today - with flexibility and control.
About the role

- Write and interpret Python & SQL to support reporting, troubleshooting, and validation tasks within core systems.
- Manage and support Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, and Entra ID (Azure AD).
- Configure and support device compliance using Microsoft Intune. Perform imaging, software deployment, and support for both Windows and macOS environments.
- Provide Tier II support to users in the Tempe office and remotely across the organization, ensuring smooth operations and timely resolution of service requests.
- Use PowerShell and scripting tools to streamline IT tasks and improve support workflows.
- Maintain detailed documentation for application support processes, IT systems, and internal tools to support knowledge sharing and operational efficiency.
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years of experience in IT support, systems engineering, or application support roles
- Proficiency in Python & SQL (query writing, data analysis, troubleshooting)
- Familiarity with Django-based applications and Python
- Strong experience with Microsoft 365, Entra ID (Azure AD), and Intune
- Proven ability to support both application-level and system-level issues with minimal escalation
- Experience with ITSM tools and ticketing systems
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills to effectively partner with leaders across multiple functions
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and support cross-functional teams
Preferred Qualifications

What we offer
