OWG Careers

Work at OWG

At OWG, we see ourselves as more than a workplace -we are a collaborative and innovative team. We prioritize our people, nurturing a culture of growth, collaboration, and innovation. If you’re seeking a career where you can expand your skills, make meaningful contributions, and grow both personally and professionally, OWG is the right fit for you. We’re on the lookout for talented and enthusiastic individuals to join us in delivering top-notch IT solutions. At OWG, you ideas are valued, your abilities are developed, and your future is bright.

About OWG

Overwatch Group (OWG) was founded by industry veterans in 2018 to help businesses and organizations improve their approach to IT, technology solutions, privacy, and security, with accountability and responsiveness in mind at all times. 


We have two offices, located in Montville, New Jersey, and Culver City, California – in Los Angeles County. We care deeply about each and every one of our employees, and always aim to make sure you have the resources you need for both work and life.

Why Should You Work At OWG?

Since we know the industry from both sides of the table, we understand how “burnout” is the norm in IT. That’s why we always strive to ensure our employees have a work-life balance that allows them to actually be able to enjoy their time off.

 

We never expect you to stay until every ticket is completed, on-call triggers are rare, and we do everything we can to remove burnout from the equation for each of our team members. On-site visits are minimal as 80-90% of our partners’ infrastructure is in Azure and AWS. We’re highly protective of your work-life balance.

 

OWG has a culture of self-management – this means we won’t micromanage what you do. You have the freedom to use your own judgment and complete your own tasks, without anyone looking over your shoulder. With only one team meeting a week, you don’t have to worry about working late into the night just to get all your work done.

Perks and Benefits

We offer a relaxed work environment, flexibility around your personal life, 1-2 days a week of work from home, monthly happy hours, fun group events a few times a year, fairly regular dinner events, a healthy bonus pool, and great benefits for each of our employees.

 

Our benefits include a wide variety of healthcare, vision, and dental options (of which we cover a portion), 2 weeks of vacation and 1 week of sick time, and 401k with a match up to 4% of your salary.

Working at OWG comes with various perks and benefits, which may include:

Healthcare
Vision
Dental
2 Weeks Vacation
1 Week Sick Time
401k Match

Are You A Good Fit?

When we hire, we’re looking for team members who want to build careers with us, not just jobs. We always aim for long-lasting relationships with our vendors, and we strive for that with our employees as well. OWG is looking for team members who value accountability, growth and self-management.

 

As a disclaimer, at this time we are not hiring fully remote positions. We already have quite a widespread staff and we need more local folks. OWG is looking for individuals who can physically come to our Los Angeles or New Jersey locations.

Think you would be a good fit for OWG? Browse our current job openings listed below and feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions! To apply for any of these roles, please send your resume over to jobs@weareowg.com!

As a Desktop Support Specialist, you’ll be doing bench repair, handling inventory management for some partners, and completing onboarding and offboarding of users. You’ll be a critical part in making sure equipment is set up, ready to go, delivered on-time, and keeping it updated in inventory.  Having the necessary skills to configure, troubleshoot, and deploy management tools on hardware is key and sometimes may require on-site deliveries to partner sites. Being the subject matter expert of Windows, Apple OS, Microsoft Office, and other applications will be necessary.   You may also be called in to assist with general service desk requests as needed, and some of your workload will be on OWG’s systems, such as deploying, implementing, and supporting our internal tools, or IT support tasks.

Reporting to our Service Manager, you’ll be part of a ~20 and growing team that’s made up of other specialists and engineers with varied experience. You can expect a lot of communication amongst the team throughout the day. There will be someone to help you through situations that you may not be familiar with and jump in to help when your skills are needed.  You’ll be able to jump in for other learning opportunities, too.

We have daily huddles, where we discuss client issues and debrief tough ones that were encountered so that everyone can learn from the experiences. We have bi-weekly team calls to discuss partner success and internal process improvements.  You’ll have a mentor to help guide you through any new technologies.

For the first few weeks, you’ll learn about our systems and get a good understanding of how we deliver IT services to our partners. You’ll get familiar with the technology tools and core processes we have in place.  A big part of your initial training will be to learn how our ticketing processes work so that those become second nature. You’ll shadow senior engineers to see how they function and get a feel for the workflows.

Before you start taking a part hardware, we will have you do some phone training, where we include you in some mock calls to get you comfortable with taking to our partners and to practice using our ticketing system, in conjunction with other resources we have available to you.  All this training will help you get a better feel for any troubleshooting you may come across as well as assessing potential issues and diving into processes. You’ll need to talk regularly with our partners, keeping them abreast of any inventory issues or related items regarding onboarding or offboarding.

As a Systems Administrator, you’ll work on a wide variety of IT environments to troubleshoot and ultimately resolve issues that arise with infrastructure, as well as escalated tickets. You’ll have an opportunity to use your expansive knowledge and get exposure to new situations that will stretch and build your skills. With you as a subject matter expert, the team will benefit when you share your knowledge with them too. Plus, our partners will get solid results!

Reporting to our Service Manager, you’ll be part of a ~20 and growing team that’s made up of other specialists and engineers with varied experience. You can expect a lot of communication amongst the team throughout the day. We deliver Managed IT Services with a team approach that provides a structure for how our partners’ issues are handled. Your daily work will include interacting with IT Support Specialists when they ask for guidance and collaborating with other System Engineers.  You’ll be communicating with partners who may want a technical explanation for the cause of an issue.

We have daily huddles, where we discuss client issues and debrief tough ones that were encountered so that everyone can learn from the experiences. We have bi-weekly team calls to discuss partner success and internal process improvements.

You’ll shadow another Systems Engineer to get a feel for the workflows and familiarize yourself with our technology tools and core processes. An important part of understanding how OWG operates will be to learn how everyone works together.  You will get time to learn about our partners and their businesses so you can understand how IT enables their operations. Knowledge of their networks will come as you work on their issues.

Getting solid resolutions when we close tickets is what keeps the team of System Engineers ahead of the curve, so it’s a good day when you can get a pile of issues resolved and your documentation is complete.  When an issue hits your desk, it’s likely a big challenge that other engineers may have already tried to resolve, so it’s a great day when you can close out big issues and your documentation is complete.  What a great feeling of accomplishment you will reap!  Getting positive feedback or even a “thank you” and a kind word from a survey will help you know that you’re appreciated. You won’t need a smiley face to know that your team appreciates your contributions to its success.
