• Provide engineering teams with meaningful escalation details including logs, reproduction steps, troubleshooting completed, affected systems, and suspected failure domains.
• Identify recurring issues, trends, and potential broader service problems.
• Mentor other support analysts and help strengthen technical troubleshooting practices across the team.
• Create and maintain SOPs, knowledge articles, troubleshooting guides, and repeatable resolution procedures.
• Identify opportunities to improve support through automation, better tooling, improved diagnostics, or process changes.
• Maintain accurate ticket documentation and strong ownership through resolution.
• Deliver responsive, professional, and customer-focused support while maintaining strong technical rigor.

• 5+ years of desktop support, walk-up support, endpoint support, desktop engineering, EUC, or senior-level end-user support experience.
• Demonstrated experience serving as a technical escalation point for other support professionals.
• Strong hands-on experience supporting both Windows and macOS environments.
• Experience troubleshooting issues that span operating systems, networking, applications, endpoint management, security, and hardware.
• Experience supporting developers, engineers, power users, or technically advanced user populations is preferred.
• Experience troubleshooting development tools, command-line utilities, IDEs, runtimes, or related technical environments.
• Experience working with endpoint, network, identity, security, application, and infrastructure engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of ITSM practices, incident management, request fulfillment, escalation handling, and technical documentation.
• Experience using ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms.
• Experience with enterprise endpoint management, remote support, VPN, secure access, and device compliance technologies.
• Industry certifications such as CompTIA, Microsoft, Apple, Jamf, ITIL, or similar credentials are preferred.
