About the role

LifeMD is seeking an experienced IT Support Specialist, Level 3 to join our Information Technology team. In this role you will serve as the highest tier of internal technical support, acting as the final escalation point for complex and critical incidents that Level 1 and Level 2 support cannot resolve. You will bring deep expertise in enterprise networking, infrastructure, cloud platforms, identity systems, and security operations.

In addition to core L3 support responsibilities, you will serve as LifeMD’s primary Jira administrator, owning the configuration, governance, and ongoing optimization of Jira Software and Jira Service Management. You will partner closely with engineering, security, and operations leadership to maintain system reliability and compliance across LifeMD’s telehealth platform.

Core Responsibilities:

Advanced Technical Support & Incident Resolution: Serve as the final escalation point for complex issues from L1 and L2 support teams, owning expert-level diagnosis and resolution through to closure. Investigate and resolve critical incidents spanning IT infrastructure, enterprise networking, cloud platforms (AWS), enterprise applications, and security systems. Lead root cause analysis for major incidents, producing post-incident reports with corrective action plans. Participate in on-call rotations for Severity 1 and Severity 2 incidents outside of standard business hours.
Advanced Network Troubleshooting: Perform in-depth network diagnostics including packet capture and protocol analysis (Wireshark or equivalent), routing and switching diagnostics (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, spanning tree), firewall rule review, VPN connectivity failures, and DNS/DHCP resolution issues.
Systems Administration & Infrastructure Support: Administer and support enterprise IT systems including identity platforms (Active Directory, Okta), endpoint management (MDM), and SaaS applications. Manage and troubleshoot complex networking issues at an infrastructure level. Support AWS cloud infrastructure including EC2, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch. Coordinate with Information Security on vulnerability remediation, access control reviews, and security incident response.
Jira Administration: Serve as LifeMD’s primary Jira administrator, owning configuration, governance, and ongoing optimization of Jira Software and Jira Service Management. Design and manage projects, boards, workflows, permission schemes, and issue type configurations. Build and maintain automation rules, administer user access controls, manage integrations with Confluence, Slack, and GitHub, and develop dashboards and reports providing visibility into SLA compliance and incident trends. Evaluate and deploy plugins and marketplace apps; maintain governance documentation aligned with ITIL best practices.
Process Improvement & Documentation: Identify systemic gaps in support operations and translate findings into actionable process improvements. Develop and maintain knowledge base articles, runbooks, and SOPs for L1 and L2 teams. Contribute to ITSM process development — incident, change, and problem management — in alignment with ITIL standards.
Stakeholder Communication & Collaboration: Communicate proactively with end users, IT leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders on incident status, resolution timelines, and planned maintenance. Partner with IT leadership to ensure Jira configuration and ITSM tooling stay aligned with organizational governance objectives.
