Job Description

We're looking for an ambitious Senior Support Engineer to become a key member of our Global Level 2 Onsite Support team.

Supporting 7,000 US employees and more than 13,000 employees worldwide, you'll act as the senior technical member of the team and a trusted partner to the Level 2 Team Lead, helping drive incident response, problem management, service improvement, and technical excellence across our support operation. Based at our Alpharetta headquarters, you'll work closely with technical teams and colleagues across multiple regions to continuously improve the employee experience.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step into a larger, more visible role within a global enterprise while remaining hands‑on and close to the technology.

This is not a traditional support role focused solely on resolving tickets.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, drives action, solves difficult problems, and helps raise the technical capability and performance of those around them.

This role focuses on complex technical challenges, major incidents, problem management, service improvement, and raising the capability of the wider support team.

You'll be expected to:

• Lead technical investigations for complex, recurring, and high‑impact issues.
• Act as the senior escalation point within the Level 2 support team.
• Drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Problem Management activities.
• Identify recurring issues and deliver long‑term solutions.
• Mentor and support other engineers.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve service quality, efficiency, and user experience.
• Partner with engineering teams, vendors, and stakeholders to deliver excellent support services.

As the senior technical member of the Level 2 Onsite Support team, you will be expected to:

• Act as the highest technical escalation point within Level 2.
• Lead investigation and resolution of technical issues that cannot be resolved by other engineers.
• Provide technical challenge, guidance, and direction when working with engineering teams and technology specialists.
• Support executive and VIP users with professionalism, discretion, and confidence.
• Raise the technical capability of the wider team through coaching, mentoring, and knowledge sharing.
• Maintain a broad understanding of modern workplace technologies and their interaction within an enterprise environment.

We're looking for someone with strong technical capability, sound judgement, and a genuine desire to make things better.

You may currently be a:

• Hands‑on Team Lead within a smaller organization
• Senior Level 2 Support Engineer
• Infrastructure Engineer
• Endpoint Engineer
• Workplace Technology Engineer

You are likely to be regarded as one of the strongest technical performers in your current team and someone colleagues turn to when dealing with the most challenging issues.

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Takes ownership without being asked.
• Naturally identifies opportunities for improvement.
• Enjoys solving difficult technical and operational problems.
• Leads through influence rather than authority.
• Communicates effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Thrives in a fast‑paced environment.
• Is ambitious and looking for greater responsibility and visibility.
• Wants to play a significant role in shaping and improving support operations.
• Takes pride in being the person others rely on when the toughest challenges arise

The pay rate for this role ranges between $27-35/hour.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
