  • Maintain the network infrastructure of our offices.

  • Develop scripts and automations to optimize IT processes and routines.

  • Collaborate with the "On-Call" team to ensure the availability of our services outside of business hours.

  • Document procedures and create training materials for users and for the knowledge base of AI agents.

 

Requirements and Qualifications:

  • English is mandatory; Spanish and Portuguese will be a differential for communication with global teams.

  • Experience with technical support for hardware (desktops, laptops, etc.) and operating systems (Windows, macOS).

  • Knowledge of corporate productivity tools (Jira, Confluence, Slack, Google Workspace).

  • Programming logic for developing simple scripts and automations (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell, or N8N).

  • Knowledge of network and infrastructure administration (configuration of switches, routers, Wi-Fi).

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

 

It will be a plus if you have:

  • Knowledge of cloud environments (GCP, AWS).

  • Previous experience in global companies, working across more than one country.
