Level 2 Engineer (Human Support)

OSIbeyond • Rockville, MD

3d • Onsite

About The Position

The Level 2 (Human Support) Engineer is responsible for the delivery of high-quality technical support to OSIbeyond clients across two service domains: helpdesk/user support and system/network administration support. Within helpdesk/user support, approximately 90% of requests are fulfilled through automated workflows. Certain requests received by phone are fulfilled by completing a request form that initiates the corresponding automation. For these requests, the Level 2 (Human Support) Engineer serves as the point of human validation, reviewing the request parameters identified by the AI-assisted ticketing process, confirming their accuracy, authorizing execution of the automated workflow, and verifying the outcome. Clients subject to regulatory compliance requirements are excluded from automated fulfillment; requests for these clients are completed manually. The remaining requests, approximately 10%, require direct engagement with the end user. For these, the Level 2 (Human Support) Engineer provides live telephone and remote support, taking ownership of the request from initial contact through resolution. Although live support represents roughly 10% of helpdesk request volume, it accounts for approximately 80% of the Level 2 (Human Support) Engineer's workday. Within system/network administration support, the Level 2 (Human Support) Engineer resolves administrative requests and escalations involving identity, Microsoft 365, server, and network environments, operating within established procedures and escalating to senior engineering staff where appropriate. These advanced tasks will be completed through the use of various tools and Standard Operating Procedure documents. As OSIbeyond continues to engineer additional automation and AI capabilities into the OSIbeyond ONE platform, the scope of helpdesk/user support work fulfilled through automation is expected to expand. The Level 2 (Human Support) Engineer contributes to this progression by identifying recurring manual work suitable for automation, coordinating with automation engineers, and validating new workflows prior to and following release. Performance in this role is measured by client satisfaction, adherence to service level agreements, the accuracy and timeliness of automated workflow execution, first-contact resolution of live support requests, and the quality and completeness of documentation.
