The Voice Level 1 Support Technician serves as the first line of support for In-Telecom cloud voice clients, providing support through phone, email, ticketing system, chat, and remote support tools.
This role is responsible for troubleshooting and resolving common support requests for cloud-based phone systems built on a Net Sapiens platform, including desk phones, softphones, voicemail, call forwarding, basic user settings, call quality symptoms, device connectivity, and general phone system functionality.
This position operates in a fast-paced support environment where technicians assist multiple client environments, manage competing priorities, and balance urgency, accuracy, documentation, and client communication.
The Voice Level 1 Technician is expected to own tickets from first response through resolution or proper escalation, follow documented processes and SOPs, maintain accurate ticket notes and time entries, and escalate issues appropriately when additional technical support, carrier involvement, vendor support, or operational alignment is needed.
The ideal candidate is technically curious, coachable, client-focused, and able to shift priorities quickly based on client impact. This role provides strong opportunity for continued learning and growth within voice services and the broader technical career path.
Participation in a rotating on-call schedule may be required to provide after-hours support coverage.
