The Stradiant Story 
 


At Stradiant, we thrive on connecting technology and business for our clients. We are seeking a Service Support Technician to join our growing team.  


We help small businesses manage their cyber security risk and provide them with the best technology and systems to help them grow. Our company is financially strong. We are committed to our clients, our team and to the growth of our business.  


Stradiant was founded in 2007 to help small businesses in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park and throughout Central Texas get the most out of their business technology. Over the years we’ve helped numerous organizations relieve their technology worries so they can concentrate on growing their businesses and realizing their goals.  


We are seeking a Service Support Technician because our business is growing. We have a managed service business model which means more than seventy percent of our work involves supporting clients that have long-term contracts with our company. Our business is different from the break/fix business model because we can be proactive and plan our work. While we do have emergencies from time to time, you will be able to enjoy your time off. 


 
Service Support Technician 
 


We are looking for a responsible Service Support Technician to help support our technical team in a timely and professional manner. Our successful candidate will be mainly responsible for monitoring, supporting, and optimizing our clients’ workstations, printers, VoIP phones and other network devices.  
 
We are looking for someone who can solve most workstation issues independently. The ideal candidate will be the escalation point for Tier 1 issues and will work with help desk staff and end users directly to help resolve system & user experience issues. The ideal candidate will be comfortable researching issues before escalating so they bring both the issue and proposed solution for review. 
 
In this position, you will be the main technical point of contact for many of our clients. You will have a direct impact on client’s satisfaction with our service. You will be a key player on our team. Because of this responsibility, we require excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will be required to update our PSA tickets in a timely manner. You will have access to top-notch system management and documentation tools, and we expect you to master those tools.

Having prior experience working for a managed service provider using RMM and PSA software is a plus.
