This role combines L2 engineering with day-to-day team leadership. You will investigate complex incidents yourself while helping colleagues prioritise work, improve their troubleshooting and maintain service quality. You should be comfortable moving between technical detail and the wider support queue, recognising emerging service risks and coordinating the right response within agreed responsibilities.

This is an office-based role in Bengaluru (Bangalore), providing remote customer support. Your normal working pattern will align with UK business hours, with agreed flexibility to support cover and handovers for a team delivering 24/7 service.

Required Experience :

- Investigate escalated Windows, Microsoft 365 and application issues, including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, testing causes and documenting diagnostic evidence.
- Diagnose authentication, MFA, permissions, email delivery and VPN or remote desktop issues; make approved changes and confirm service restoration with users.
- Investigate server, backup, patching and security alerts, assess impact, carry out authorised remediation and engage specialist teams when their access or expertise is needed.
- Maintain incident ownership, assess business impact, prioritise competing work and keep customers updated through investigation, escalation and resolution.
- Provide clear diagnostic information to specialist teams and coordinate follow-up, making the next action and its owner clear.
- Support L1 colleagues with troubleshooting and escalation decisions, sharing practical guidance and improving reusable support documentation.




- Maintain accurate ticket histories, follow agreed security procedures and service targets, and hand over open work with clear next actions.

Mandatory Skills:

- Demonstrable troubleshooting capability across Windows desktops and Microsoft 365 email and collaboration, including problems that are not resolved by routine checks.
- Practical understanding of accounts, permissions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and network and remote access connectivity, with controlled changes following verification and approval procedures.
- Ability to interpret monitoring alerts and investigate server, backup, patching or security issues, gathering evidence and recognising when specialist escalation is needed.
- Clear spoken and written English, confident telephone support and the ability to explain technical findings and next steps to nontechnical customers.
- Effective use of ticketing and remote support tools, with accurate records, sensible prioritisation and consistent ownership of follow-up and handovers.
- A collaborative approach to supporting less experienced colleagues, sharing knowledge and working with specialist teams within agreed access and support boundaries.





Nice to have Skills :

- Experience in a managed services or busy service desk workplace would be useful.
- Familiarity with Autotask, Datto RMM or ITGlue is welcome. Experience with comparable tools is also relevant.
- Relevant Microsoft certifications are an advantage, but are not required.
