I believe the answer is:

peg

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'on-line fixer' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'among stereotype geeks' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'PEG' is hidden in the letters of 'stereotype geeks'.

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peg that I've seen before include "Limit" , "The girl to hang your hat on" , "The woman" , "Wire tensioner" , "Projecting pin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
