• Patient and clear communicator with non-technical users

• Comfortable working remotely with distributed teams

Nice to have

• CompTIA A+, Network+, or equivalent certification
• Experience with an ITSM tool (ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or similar)
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 admin or Azure AD

What you'll get

• $2,500–$4,000 USD/month based on experience
• Fully remote with flexible hours
• Exposure to a wide range of SME IT environments
• Paid leave
• Path into senior support, infrastructure, or cloud engineer roles
