Helpdesk Technician III

Cloudforce•National Harbor, MD

13d•$60,000 - $80,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Are you the person your team tags when all else fails - the one who actually enjoys untangling the gnarliest tech problems? If diving deep into a mystery incident, building slick ServiceNow automations, and being the last line of defense sounds like your idea of a great day, we want to hear from you. This isn't your average helpdesk role - Tier III is where the real puzzle-solving happens, and we're looking for someone who thrives under pressure, thinks outside the ticket, and isn't afraid to break (and fix) things in the name of progress.

Requirements

3+ years of IT support experience with exposure to advanced troubleshooting or escalation.
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (M365, Intune, Entra ID, or similar).
Working knowledge of ServiceNow or a comparable ITSM platform.
Some scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python, or Bash).
A strong communicator who stays composed under pressure.

Nice To Haves

Microsoft Azure (AZ-900, AZ-104) and Microsoft 365 certifications.
ServiceNow CSA certification is a plus.
Experience with Microsoft 365, Intune, or cloud environments.

Responsibilities

Serve as the final escalation point for complex technical issues unresolved by Tier I and Tier II, owning tickets through to resolution within ServiceNow.
Diagnose and resolve advanced hardware, software, network, and infrastructure issues, documenting all findings and resolutions in ServiceNow incidents, problems, and change records.
Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents and outages, completing post-mortems and linking problem records to known error articles in the ServiceNow CMDB.
Administer and troubleshoot enterprise systems including servers, virtualization platforms, cloud environments, Entra ID, and core network infrastructure.
Investigate and respond to security incidents, enforcing patch management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance policies.
Create and maintain technical documentation.
Build and maintain ServiceNow workflows, Flow Designer automations, and catalog items to streamline service delivery and reduce manual ticket handling.
Develop and deploy automated solutions using PowerShell, Python, or Bash to eliminate repetitive tasks, accelerate remediation, and improve system reliability.
Leverage ServiceNow reporting and dashboards to identify ticket trends, recurring incidents, and opportunities for proactive problem management.
Engage vendors and third-party publishers to resolve product defects and act as a technical liaison between IT and business stakeholders during major incidents or projects.
Author and maintain knowledge base articles, runbooks, and SOPs within ServiceNow, and mentor Tier 1/2 staff to reduce escalation volume.
