# Support Technician (US Shift)

> First Focus · Pasig, Philippines (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-06-17

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Support

## Description

Some jobs are about keeping things running. This one is about keeping things running while the US is waking up, Manila is winding down, and everyone is pretending the coffee machine is the real infrastructure lead.  

If you are the sort of person who can fix a user issue, keep your cool, and explain a technical problem like a human being rather than a ransom note, you will fit right in.  

At First Focus, we like smart people who actually enjoy solving problems, not just naming them and walking away. We back good work with proper support, training, and a team that would rather collaborate than conduct workplace theatre. Our values live here: [https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/](https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/). For this role, **Be the Solution** feels like the right fit, because the best support people do not just find the issue, they move it along and close it out.  

### Why you will love it here

You will support a US-facing environment, so the work is varied, a little nocturnal, and far less boring than pretending passwords are a personality.

You will be trusted to take ownership of issues, communicate clearly, and keep users informed without making them regret opening a ticket in the first place.

You will work with people who value calm heads, practical thinking, and the kind of teamwork that makes hard days less absurd.

And yes, there will be late nights. Manila traffic will still be Manila traffic, but at least the office won’t be auditioning for peak-hour chaos.

**  
What you will be doing**

-   Provide frontline technical support for desktops, laptops, peripherals, printers, mobile devices, user accounts, and access issues.
-   Troubleshoot Windows, Microsoft 365, Azure AD, and basic network or server-related issues.
-   Log, update, and resolve tickets with clear notes and sensible urgency.
-   Support authentication, authorisation, and password reset issues with a steady hand.
-   Document fixes and troubleshooting steps so the next person does not have to rediscover the same headache.
-   Escalate complex issues to senior support or engineering with proper context and detail.
-   Support US-based employees and systems during US business hours, on a graveyard shift in Manila.
-   Keep communication clear, calm, and human, even when the problem is doing its best impression of a small disaster.

## Requirements

**What you will need**

-   At least 1 year of technical support or customer service experience.
-   Solid troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, and end-user support.
-   Experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, Azure AD, DNS, DHCP, or Microsoft 365 is a strong advantage.
-   Confidence supporting printers, mobile devices, and basic networking issues.
-   Good written and verbal communication.
-   A calm, solutions-first attitude when everyone else is having a very serious moment over something that was probably a cable.
-   Willingness to work graveyard shift, weekends, shifting schedules, holidays, and overtime based on business needs.
-   Certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, or Microsoft AZ-900 are preferred, not required.

## Benefits

**What You'll Get**

-   HMO from day 1 + 1 dependent with dental cover
-   Free Uprise access with 1:1 coaching
-   10 paid study days per year, exam fees paid, pay rises for certifications (conditions apply)
-   25 paid leave days annually
