We’re looking for a Level 1/2 Support Technician who combines a great attitude with a genuine passion for helping people. This is an entry-level role with constant client interaction, supporting small to mid-sized businesses and keeping their technology running smoothly.

The company is a growing Managed Services Provider known for their responsive, people-first approach to IT support. Their clients count on them not just for technical fixes, but for a team that communicates clearly and treats every issue with care.

Attitude and customer service come first. Technical skills and tools can be taught — what matters most is genuinely enjoying helping people, staying calm under pressure, and bringing a strong work ethic. Don’t have experience with the exact software listed below? Apply anyway! The one thing we really need is some prior experience in a support/helpdesk role.

Responsibilities

  • Be the first point of contact for client issues via phone, email, and automated alerts.
  • Triage tickets: identify the problem, assess severity, and escalate when needed.
  • Keep clients updated throughout the resolution process — no one likes radio silence.
  • Configure and deploy new workstations; migrate data and applications.
  • Troubleshoot Windows PCs, servers, and common hardware issues.
  • Support Active Directory, DNS, file/folder security, print servers, and certificates.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot client LAN environments.
  • Assist with endpoint security (BitDefender, Blackpoint) and email management (OpenText/AppRiver).
  • Document everything in IT Glue — seriously, everything.

Requirements

  • 6 months to 1.5 years of experience in a helpdesk or IT support role, ideally at an MSP or in a role supporting multiple clients simultaneously.
  • Native English speaker — this is a deal breaker. You’ll be on the phone with clients daily and need to communicate clearly and professionally at all times.
  • Available to work Monday–Friday, 8 am–5 pm US Pacific Time.
  • Proven experience communicating with customers across multiple platforms (phone, email, ticketing systems).
  • Hands-on experience with RMM, PSA/ticketing, and documentation platforms (we use NinjaOne, Autotask, and IT Glue).
  • Windows OS experience in Workgroup and Domain environments; ability to set up PCs and migrate data.
  • Working knowledge of Office 365, Adobe, and common Windows apps.
  • Endpoint security and antivirus experience (BitDefender preferred).
  • Familiarity with email management platforms like OpenText (AppRiver).
  • Hardware troubleshooting at the subassembly level (hard drives, power supplies, GPUs, etc.).
  • Windows Server: Active Directory, DNS, file/folder security, certificates, and print servers.
  • Virus removal, spam mitigation, and LAN troubleshooting.
