Senior Service Desk Technician (Tier 2 – MSP)

Senior Service Desk Technician (Tier 2 – MSP)

Location: Tempe, AZ
Type: Full-Time | In Office
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:50am–5:00pm
Salary Range: $60,000–$70,000 (based on experience)

Snap Tech IT is hiring a Senior Service Desk Technician to serve as a primary escalation point for complex client issues in our Managed Service Provider (MSP) environment. This role is designed for technicians already operating at a Tier 2 level who are comfortable owning advanced troubleshooting from start to finish.

This is not an entry-level help desk role and not a junior training position.

Important – Please Read Before Applying

You will struggle in this role if your experience is limited to:

• Tier 1 help desk or password-reset work
• Home labs, self-study, or classroom-only experience
• Supporting a single internal environment with low ticket volume

We are looking for a technician who already understands the pace, accountability, and problem-solving depth required in an MSP or similarly demanding service desk environment.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a Tier 2 escalation resource for complex technical issues
• Provide remote technical support to multiple business clients in a B2B MSP environment
• Troubleshoot and resolve advanced issues involving:
• Windows 10/11
• Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Azure AD basics)
• Active Directory (users, groups, GPO awareness)
• Networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP)
• Own tickets through resolution, not just handoffs
• Perform technical triage and determine issue severity and root cause
• Use ConnectWise Automate and our ticketing system to manage work
• Support endpoint security tools, email security, MDM, and related platforms
• Create and maintain clear documentation in IT Glue
• Collaborate with other technicians and escalate only when appropriate
• Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule
• Occasionally travel onsite to client locations (valid driver’s license required)

What We’re Looking For

You are someone who:

• Regularly handles escalated or non-routine tickets
• Is comfortable troubleshooting issues where the answer isn’t obvious
• Can manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced queue
• Communicates clearly with non-technical end users
• Takes ownership and follows issues through to resolution
• Values documentation, process, and accountability
• Understands MSP expectations around responsiveness and efficiency

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years of IT support experience (Service Desk, Technical Support, MSP preferred)
• Demonstrated Tier 2 troubleshooting experience
• Strong working knowledge of:
• Windows OS
• Microsoft 365
• Active Directory
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals
• Experience working from a ticket queue and documenting work thoroughly
• Strong customer service and communication skills

Strongly Preferred (Not Required)

• Prior MSP experience
• Experience with ConnectWise, RMM tools, or similar platforms
• Exposure to virtualization (VMware or similar)
• Security tooling or firewall exposure
• Microsoft or CompTIA certifications
