What is K3 Technology looking for?

We're looking for a Lead Service Delivery Engineer who can bridge the gap between hands-on technical troubleshooting and team enablement. You'll be a go-to problem solver for our Service Delivery team, a mentor to other engineers, and a partner to our Support Manager in optimizing how we work.

This role is built for someone who thrives in complex technical environments and gets just as much satisfaction from helping others grow as solving the problem themselves. You'll work tickets daily alongside the team, while also driving process improvement, owning escalations, and helping raise the overall technical bar of the department.

On a typical day, your duties might include:

• Own and resolve complex support tickets as part of your daily work alongside the engineering team
• Take ownership of high-impact, high-urgency escalations that lack a clear path to resolution
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to engineers across the service delivery team
• Identify recurring incidents and support trends; recommend solutions through better documentation, automation, or platform changes
• Partner with the Support Manager to optimize workflows and implement more efficient, scalable service delivery processes
• Lead problem management initiatives by identifying root causes and contributing to long-term fixes for widespread issues
• Act as a key stakeholder during security incidents, working with internal engineers and external partners to investigate, remediate, and communicate effectively with clients
• Take the lead on defining and implementing technical standards and continuous improvement efforts across our service delivery operations, ensuring our engineering team is operating at its best
• Participate in post-incident reviews, coaching engineers and identifying opportunities to improve tooling and knowledge base resources
• Provide input into service delivery KPIs, help improve resolution time, response time, and customer satisfaction

To be a good fit for this role, you should have:

• Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Windows Server, and networking-you should be comfortable navigating and resolving complex issues across all four
• A security-first mindset with comfort participating in incident response activities
• Excellent troubleshooting instincts and comfort owning issues from investigation through to resolution
• A proactive, systems-thinker mentality that seeks to solve root causes-not just symptoms
• Confidence coaching and mentoring others without micromanaging or taking over
• An ability to communicate clearly with both technical engineers and non-technical business stakeholders (many of our client POCs are COOs, VPs, and other non-IT leaders)
• Experience translating complex problems into clear, actionable technical or strategic guidance

Other specific skills you should be familiar and comfortable with:

• ITIL principles and how to implement them
• Process improvement, documentation, and automation practices
• Customer service best practices and conflict resolution
• Technical documentation, SOP development, and tooling assessments

Specific products you should be familiar and comfortable working with:

• IT Glue, PSA systems (HaloPSA, Connectwise Manage, Autotask, etc.)
• MS Windows, MS Windows Server, MacOS, Jamf
• Ninja RMM, Connectwise Control, Meraki, Sonicwall
• Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Intune and AutoPilot
• Huntress, ProofPoint Essentials, Mimecast, Avanan, SentinelOne EDR
• com, MS Teams, MS Office Products
• Ubiquiti, VMWare, Veeam, Powershell and scripting, Synology

Helpful Certification and Education background:

• Microsoft AZ-104 and AZ-140 certifications are required. If not held at time of hire or promotion, you'll be expected to earn them within 6 months
• Additional certifications in Microsoft 365, Networking, or Security are a plus
• ITIL Foundations or equivalent service management experience preferred
• Relevant experience with security incident management and problem management

Preference will be given to individuals located in Dallas, TX or Greenwood Village, CO; however, remote individuals will be considered.
