  • Use built-in Windows tools such as Task Manager, Event Viewer, and other diagnostic utilities to investigate issues.
  • Own support tickets from initial triage through resolution, documenting steps and outcomes clearly.
  • Escalate issues when appropriate and collaborate with other technical teams as needed.
  • Contribute to internal documentation and knowledge resources to support consistent issue resolution.
  • Communicate clearly with English-speaking users and stakeholders across different time zones.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience providing application and desktop support in a fast-paced environment
  • C1 level English or equivalent proficiency
  • Advanced troubleshooting skills for Windows 10/11, Mac OS, and the Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams)
  • Proficiency with Microsoft native tools and utilities for resolving system issues
  • Experience supporting Windows desktop environments.
  • Experience working with ticketing systems or structured support queues.
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues methodically and explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Professional-level English communication skills.
  • Availability to work flexible schedules, including occasional evenings or weekends.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Office 365 administration or advanced Outlook troubleshooting.
  • Familiarity with networking fundamentals and basic connectivity troubleshooting.
  • Exposure to PowerShell for troubleshooting or basic automation tasks.
  • Experience supporting users in high-volume or fast-changing environments.

Career Development:

This role provides opportunities for growth into more advanced technical, operational, or service delivery roles based on performance, technical capability, and demonstrated ownership.

  • Salary Range: $1800-$2200 USD/month
  • Employment type: Full-Time Contractor
  • 3 days in office in Palermo, Buenos Aires
  • Unlimited PTO
