Descripción del empleo

We're looking for a detail-oriented IT Support & Automation Specialist to manage our ticketing operations, keep multi-platform systems in sync, and build lightweight automation that eliminates manual, repetitive work. This role suits a technical support professional who is equally comfortable troubleshooting hardware/software issues, coordinating with agents to resolve tickets, and writing Python scripts that turn hours of manual reconciliation into minutes of automated processing.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full ticket lifecycle: verify correct intake, reassign and correct miscategorized or incomplete tickets, and track resolution progress in Freshdesk (or equivalent ticketing platforms).
• Audit and reconcile ticket data across a primary ticketing system and a secondary platform (e.g., Freshdesk Clarity), ensuring status consistency and data integrity between tools.
• Produce weekly reports on inactive/stale tickets and coordinate directly with support agents to drive tickets to closure.
• Provide phone-based technical support (24/7 rotation) to end users across multiple regions/countries via VoIP tools such as SPhone or Freshcaller.
• Design, build, and maintain Python-based automation tools to synchronize data between platforms via REST APIs, handling batch processing and on-demand bulk operations (e.g., using Pandas).
• Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues on desktops/notebooks running Windows; perform builds, repairs, and preventive maintenance.
• Administer Active Directory tasks (password resets, account unlocks) and manage Microsoft 365 device assignment, modification, and relocation.
• Staff help desk / mesa de ayuda functions, guiding end users on digital tools and resolving incidents across rotating client accounts.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in technical/help desk support, ticket management, or IT service desk roles.
• Hands‑on experience with ticketing platforms (Freshdesk, Kayako, Clarity, or similar) and VoIP support tools (Freshcaller, SPhone, or similar).
• Working knowledge of Python for scripting and process automation; familiarity with REST APIs and Pandas is a strong plus.
• Solid understanding of Windows hardware/software troubleshooting, PC/notebook assembly and repair.
• Experience with Active Directory administration and Microsoft 365 device/user management.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage recurring reporting cycles and multi-platform data audits.
• Comfortable working rotating or on-call phone support shifts and collaborating across distributed teams and client accounts.
• Bonus: exposure to web basics (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, SQL) or design tools (Photoshop/Illustrator) for cross‑functional support tasks.

Why Join Us?

• Own end-to-end improvements to support operations — not just ticket triage, but the automation that removes the manual work behind it.
• Work across a variety of client environments and industries, broadening your technical exposure.
• Hybrid/remote flexibility with a stable, full-time role and room to grow into automation/DevOps-adjacent responsibilities.
