Position Summary
The Help Desk & Security Support Technician (Overnight Shift) provides after‑hours technical support and security monitoring and remediation for our customers and internal systems, with a primary focus on supporting international end users and responding to security‑related alerts across global time zones. This role serves as a key overnight support resource, independently handling help desk requests and security incidents to ensure continuous service coverage. The position is critical to maintaining 24/7 customer support, system availability, and cybersecurity posture, with an increased emphasis on incident monitoring, containment, documentation, and timely escalation during overnight hours.

  • Provide phone and ticket‑based support for end users experiencing issues with:
  • Workstations, laptops, mobile devices, and printers
  • Core business applications
  • Microsoft 365 services including email, Microsoft Teams, and collaboration tools
  • Research, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues independently when possible.
  • Clearly document all troubleshooting steps, actions taken, and outcomes within the help desk ticketing system to support seamless hand off to daytime teams.
  • Communicate professionally and effectively with users, customers, and internal teams during after‑hours incidents.


Security Monitoring & Incident Response
  • Monitor and respond to security‑related alerts and tickets during overnight hours, including:
  • Phishing and suspicious email reports
  • Suspected account compromise
  • Endpoint and device security alerts
  • MFA and authentication‑related issues
  • Perform initial investigation and containment actions such as:
  • Account lockouts and password resets
  • MFA resets or enforcement
  • Device isolation or access restriction, as directed by run books
  • Escalate confirmed or high‑risk security incidents in accordance with established incident response and escalation procedures.
  • Maintain heightened security awareness during off‑hours, when risk and response time are critical.


Operational Ownership
  • Independently manage workload and prioritize tickets with minimal supervision during overnight shifts.
  • Follow documented run books, standard operating procedures, and escalation paths.
  • Contribute detailed incident notes, summaries, and recommendations for follow‑up by engineering or security teams.
  • Assist with user onboarding, offboarding, and emergency access requests that occur outside normal business hours.
