📋 Description

• As a seasoned IT Support Level 3 professional, you will be at the forefront of resolving complex technical challenges, ensuring the seamless operation of our diverse client IT infrastructures across Latin America. This is a remote role, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere within the region, empowering you to contribute your expertise while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
• Your primary responsibility will be to provide advanced technical support, acting as a critical escalation point for intricate hardware, software, and network issues that cannot be resolved by Level 1 or Level 2 support teams. This involves deep-dive analysis, meticulous problem-solving, and the implementation of robust, long-term solutions.
• You will be instrumental in diagnosing and resolving a wide array of technical problems, including but not limited to server malfunctions, complex network connectivity issues, advanced application errors, cybersecurity incidents, and intricate hardware failures. This requires a comprehensive understanding of various operating systems (Windows Server, Linux, macOS), virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and a broad spectrum of business applications.
• A significant aspect of your role will involve proactive system monitoring and maintenance. You will leverage advanced monitoring tools to identify potential issues before they impact users, implementing preventative measures and optimizing system performance to minimize downtime and enhance overall efficiency.
• You will be responsible for managing and maintaining IT infrastructure components, including servers, network devices, storage systems, and end-user hardware. This includes installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, and decommissioning of equipment and software.
• Collaboration is key in this role. You will work closely with other IT teams, including network administrators, system engineers, and security specialists, to ensure integrated and effective IT solutions. You will also liaise with third-party vendors for hardware and software support, troubleshooting, and procurement.
• Developing and maintaining comprehensive documentation is crucial. This includes creating and updating technical guides, troubleshooting procedures, knowledge base articles, and system diagrams. This ensures that knowledge is shared effectively across the team and supports consistent service delivery.
• You will play a vital role in the continuous improvement of IT support processes and services. This involves identifying areas for enhancement, recommending new technologies or methodologies, and contributing to the development and implementation of best practices.
• Providing technical guidance and mentorship to junior IT support staff (Level 1 and Level 2) will be an important part of your contribution. You will share your expertise, assist with complex cases, and help foster a culture of learning and development within the support team.
• You will be expected to manage multiple high-priority incidents simultaneously, prioritizing tasks effectively to meet service level agreements (SLAs) and ensure minimal disruption to business operations.
• Engaging directly with end-users, often in high-pressure situations, to provide clear, concise, and empathetic communication throughout the troubleshooting process is essential. Your ability to translate technical jargon into understandable terms will be highly valued.
• You will be involved in IT projects, contributing your technical expertise to planning, implementation, and support phases, ensuring that new systems and upgrades are integrated smoothly into the existing environment.
• Staying abreast of the latest IT trends, technologies, and security threats is paramount. You will be encouraged to pursue ongoing professional development to maintain and enhance your skills and knowledge in this rapidly evolving field.
• This role offers the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the operational efficiency and success of our clients by ensuring their IT systems are robust, secure, and performant. You will be a trusted technical advisor, contributing significantly to the stability and growth of the businesses we serve.
• You will be responsible for performing regular system audits, security checks, and performance tuning to ensure optimal functionality and compliance with company policies and industry standards.
• You will also be involved in disaster recovery planning and testing, ensuring that business continuity is maintained in the event of unforeseen disruptions.
• The ability to adapt to different client environments and tailor solutions to specific needs will be a key differentiator in this role.
• You will be a key player in maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction by delivering timely, effective, and professional IT support.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience as an IT Support professional, with a significant portion of that experience at a Level 3 or senior technical support capacity.
• Deep understanding of network protocols, server administration (Windows Server, Linux), virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V), and common business applications.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues independently.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and cybersecurity principles is highly desirable.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and expertise.
• Fully remote work environment, offering flexibility and work-life balance.
• Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning, including access to training and certifications.
• Be part of a dynamic and growing team serving a diverse client base across Latin America.
• The chance to work on challenging and impactful IT projects, utilizing cutting-edge technologies.
