Junior Service Desk Agent
Our Service Desk Team exists to enable and assist Percona Staff. We provide support by following documented incident management and request fulfillment processes and procedures while ensuring established policies are observed.
Our Service Desk Agents are the single point of contact for anyone in Percona in need of technical assistance. They provide first-level support for incidents, service requests, knowledge, and routine tasks and ensure tickets forwarded to the next level of support and beyond are handled by partner teams like IT Operations, Security Operations, Compliance, Privacy & Legal.
Moreover, our Service Desk Agents will be working cross-functional with our partner teams to improve processes and procedures, enhancing our results and productivity and better enabling our Staff.
Your Schedule
Our Service Desk team covers a 12-hour shift from 9 am to 9 pm UTC during weekdays.
The position is remote work from home, 40 hours per week, usually 8 hours per day during weekdays. Our regular schedule consists of a block of hours to cover the shift, which we call core hours. These are usually 4 hours per day. In this case, it would be from 1 pm to 5 pm UTC. The rest of the hours are flexible, meaning our Service Desk Agents can work those hours at a time that best fits their schedule.
Service Desk Agents should also have the flexibility to sometimes work their colleague's schedules, mostly for out-of-office coverage. This position may also require, on special occasions, to work on incident and urgent matters outside of the regular schedule, time that may be recovered from off-shift hours later on.
