Tier 1 Help Desk Technician (Hawaii Standard Time Shift)

About This Role

Darkhorse Tech is a managed IT services provider built for dental. We support dental practices, specialists, multi-location groups, and DSOs across the country with day-to-day IT support, cybersecurity, cloud hosting, and email security.

We are hiring a Tier 1 Help Desk Technician to cover the Hawaii Standard Time business day. You will be the first voice our Hawaii and Pacific-region dental clients hear when something breaks, and for much of your shift you will be the one solving it.

This is a real ownership seat, not an overflow queue. Read the schedule carefully: this position works 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM HST . You can live anywhere in the US as long as you can consistently work those hours.

What You’ll Do

Take inbound calls and tickets from dental practices and resolve Tier 1 issues on first contact

Handle password resets, user account setup, printer and print queue problems, wireless configuration, drive mapping, and workstation troubleshooting

Support Windows 10 and newer, Microsoft 365, macOS, and dental practice management software including Open Dental

Set up and configure PCs, printers, peripherals, and basic network equipment

Work with vendors to open and drive support cases on behalf of clients

Document your work thoroughly enough that a teammate on the mainland can pick it up cold the next morning

Know the difference between an issue that can wait until tomorrow and one that has to be escalated right now, and act on it

Provide limited Saturday coverage as part of an on-call rotation

What We’re Looking For

At least 1 year of technical support experience

At least 1 year of customer service experience

Strong written communication. In this role your documentation is the handoff.

Calm, clear phone presence with people who are stressed and not technical

Genuine comfort working independently. For a good part of your shift, you are the one on

Reliability. Our clients are counting on the shift being covered

Nice to Have

MSP or multi-client support experience

Dental or healthcare IT background, especially Open Dental

ConnectWise or similar PSA experience

CompTIA A+ or equivalent

Requirements

Ability to reliably work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time, Monday through Friday with a rotating Saturday

Must be based in the United States

Quiet, private home work space suitable for calls involving patient information

Reliable high-speed internet, wired preferred

High school diploma or equivalent. IT degree or equivalent hands-on experience preferred

Why Darkhorse

We are 100+ people who work almost entirely in one industry, which means we get good at it. Our technicians are not generalists guessing at a dental practice’s software. You will be trained on the systems dental offices actually run, and you will build real relationships with the practices you support instead of taking anonymous tickets off a national queue.

If you want a support job where the client knows your name, this is one.

Darkhorse Tech is an equal opportunity employer.
