  • Apply advanced knowledge of supported applications, business processes, business rules, policies, legacy systems, and end-to-end data flows to diagnose and resolve issues. 
  • Address hardware, software, and telecommunications problems requiring in-depth technical analysis, coordination across multiple teams, or authorization and action by EEOC OCIO management. 
  • Review and validate that incidents require escalation beyond Tier 1 and Tier 2 support.

  • Maintain thorough ticket documentation, including nature of issue, applicable technical terminology, business impacts, relevant supporting information, analysis, resolution, and artifacts in the service ticketing system.

  • Manage Azure and Active Directory activities, including user accounts, group policies, permissions, and access controls within Active Directory and Office 365. 
  • Maintain and develop automation and continuous build/integration/deployment infrastructure for multiple environments; write, build, and deploy scripts using PowerShell and other utilities to improve efficiency. 
  • Monitor network performance, troubleshoot connectivity issues, work with network protocols, firewalls, and network infrastructure, and support network security management. 
  • Install, update, and patch applications across EEOC’s network. 
  • Implement workstation security policies, monitor security threats, and manage system hardening procedures.
