JOB OVERVIEW

About the Position

Beanstalk Computing is a San Diego-based Managed Service Provider supporting small and mid-sized businesses across a variety of industries. We provide managed IT services, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 support, cloud services, strategic technology guidance, and day-to-day technical support.

We are seeking an experienced Level 2 Help Desk Technician based in the Philippines to become part of our client support team. This is not an entry-level help desk position and is not intended for someone whose experience is limited to scripted troubleshooting or password resets.

The ideal candidate has worked for a Managed Service Provider supporting multiple client environments and is comfortable moving throughout the day between Microsoft 365, Windows PCs, servers, Active Directory, printers, networks, security tools, and third-party business applications.

We are looking for someone who can take ownership of a ticket, communicate directly with the client, troubleshoot methodically, and resolve the majority of normal MSP support tickets without escalation to a senior engineer.

Our service philosophy:
Clients should experience Beanstalk technicians as an extension of their own organization, not an anonymous outsourced help desk. Communication, responsiveness, accountability, and follow-through are essential.


Core Responsibilities:
Microsoft 365 and Email Support
Microsoft 365 user administration and licensing
Exchange Online and Outlook desktop/web troubleshooting
Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Entra ID support

Use structured diagnosis rather than relying on generic commands or immediate escalation

Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, sign-in logs, and authentication troubleshooting
Conditional Access and Intune device compliance troubleshooting within assigned permissions
Windows 365 Cloud PC and endpoint-security support
Basic investigation of suspicious sign-ins, phishing, Microsoft 365 alerts, and endpoint-security alerts

Follow client-specific onboarding/offboarding procedures and document every action
Coordinate time-sensitive starts, terminations, equipment changes, and access removal

MSP Tools and Ticket Management:
Work from a prioritized ticket queue and manage multiple client environments
Use PSA, RMM, documentation, and remote-support platforms such as Autotask, Datto RMM, Kaseya, ConnectWise, NinjaOne, N-able, IT Glue, Hudu, or HaloPSA
Contact users directly, conduct remote sessions, classify i ---------- , and recognize business impact
Document symptoms, scope, environment, exact errors, timestamps, actions, results, workarounds, and final resolution
Maintain accurate time entries and ticket updates throughout troubleshooting
Follow client-specific SOPs and provide complete handoff information when escalation is necessary

Client Communication:
This is a client-facing position, not a back-office technical role. The technician will communicate with U.S.-based clients by phone, email, ticketing system, remote session, and collaboration platforms.
Excellent spoken and written English
Clear explanations for nontechnical users without talking down to them

Level 2 expectation:
You are expected to troubleshoot and solve problems, not simply gather information and escalate them. Escalations should include a meaningful diagnosis, complete documentation, and a clear reason the issue requires a senior resource.
