  • Cloud and hybrid environments (where applicable)
  • Ensure SLAs are met and incidents are resolved within defined timelines
  • Create and maintain clear documentation, runbooks, and SOPs
  • Participate in incident reviews and continuous service improvement initiatives
  • Work closely with service delivery, NOC, and engineering teams.

  • Proven experience working in Tier 3 or Tier 4 support roles
  • Hands‑on experience with:

  • TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, VPNs
  • Firewalls (Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto, or similar)
  • Windows Server (AD, GPO, DNS)
  • Linux (basic to intermediate)
  • Strong troubleshooting and escalation management skills.

Nice to Have

  • Experience supporting multiple clients simultaneously
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure and/or AWS)
  • ITIL certification or strong ITIL‑based service delivery knowledge
  • Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Bash)
  • Experience working with US‑based clients and stakeholders.
  • Must be able to work full Eastern Standard Time (EST) hours
  • Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, ticket‑driven NOC environment
  • Willingness to handle escalations and critical incidents as needed.
