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.
Please, upload your resume in English.
