Are you the person your team tags when all else fails - the one who actually enjoys untangling the gnarliest tech problems? If diving deep into a mystery incident, building slick ServiceNow automations, and being the last line of defense sounds like your idea of a great day, we want to hear from you. This isn't your average helpdesk role - Tier III is where the real puzzle-solving happens, and we're looking for someone who thrives under pressure, thinks outside the ticket, and isn't afraid to break (and fix) things in the name of progress.  
  • Serve as the final escalation point for complex technical issues unresolved by Tier I and Tier II, owning tickets through to resolution within our ticketing system. 

  • Diagnose and resolve advanced hardware, software, network, and infrastructure issues, documenting all findings and resolutions. 

  • Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents and outages, completing post-mortems and linking problem records to known error articles in the CMDB. 

  • Administer and troubleshoot enterprise systems including servers, virtualization platforms, cloud environments, Entra ID, and core network infrastructure. 

  • Investigate and respond to security incidents, enforcing patch management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance policies. 

  • Create and maintain technical documentation.  

  • Develop and deploy automated solutions using PowerShell, Python, or Bash to eliminate repetitive tasks, accelerate remediation, and improve system reliability. 

  • Leverage platform reporting and dashboards to identify ticket trends, recurring incidents, and opportunities for proactive problem management. 

  • Engage vendors and third-party publishers to resolve product defects and act as a technical liaison between IT and business stakeholders during major incidents or projects. 

  • Author and maintain knowledge base articles, runbooks, and SOPs. 

  • Manage, mentor and train Tier 1/2 staff to reduce escalation volume. 

  • 3+ years of IT support experience with exposure to advanced troubleshooting or escalation. 

  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (M365, Intune, Entra ID, or similar). 

  • Working knowledge of ITSM platforms. 

  • Some scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python, or Bash). 

  • A strong communicator who stays composed under pressure. 

  • Microsoft Azure (AZ-900, AZ-104) and Microsoft 365 certifications. 

  • ITIL certification. 

  • Experience with Microsoft 365, Intune, or cloud environments. 

  • Learn and deploy modern technologies. 

  • Perform as a self-starter and manage your own time. 

  • Analyze and solve tough technical problems by leveraging leading-edge technologies. 

  • Demonstrate your expertise through a consultative and collaborative approach to engineering. 

  • Join monthly company outings and quarterly local service projects. 

  • Eat lunch as a team every Friday and have your hand at conquering our reigning ping-pong champions.
