Tier 2 Support Specialist - Freelance, Remote at Magic in Philippines

About the Client

Our client is an AI-enabled technology support provider built exclusively for the restaurant industry, offering 24/7 coverage across POS, KDS, online ordering, networking, and other core restaurant tech platforms. They serve multi-unit restaurant brands nationwide, combining a "we solve it ourselves" philosophy with fast, always-on responsiveness so restaurant teams can stay focused on running their business instead of fighting their tech. Their support model is built on tiered, structured escalation — ensuring every issue reaches the right level of expertise quickly, without unnecessary back-and-forth for the customer.

Why does this role exist?

Frontline agents resolve routine, first-contact issues quickly — but restaurant technology problems don't stop there. Point-of-sale failures, networking outages, and platform-specific configuration issues need someone with deeper technical know-how who can pick up where Tier 1 leaves off, diagnose the real root cause, and close the loop without customers having to repeat themselves. This role exists to be that next layer of expertise: someone who can take a well-documented escalation and turn it into a confident resolution, protecting both the customer relationship and the restaurant's ability to keep operating without disruption.

The Impact you’ll make

Escalation Ownership & Resolution

• Receive and take ownership of escalated tickets from Tier 1 with full troubleshooting context
• Diagnose and resolve more complex technical issues beyond first-contact scope
• Close the loop with customers clearly once a resolution is reached

Technical Troubleshooting & Execution

• Provide hands-on support for POS platforms (e.g., Toast, PAR, NCR Aloha), online ordering, and networking issues
• Investigate root causes rather than applying temporary workarounds
• Coordinate with third-party vendors when an issue requires external support

Ticket Hygiene & Queue Management

• Fully review escalated tickets before taking action, validating subject line, problem statement, type, category, platform, and priority
• Maintain SLA alignment and keep the escalations queue current and organized
• Ensure any further escalation includes complete documentation and troubleshooting history

Customer Communication

• Communicate clearly, calmly, and professionally, especially when resolution requires more time
• Provide realistic timelines and avoid over-promising resolution
• Keep customers informed and confident throughout multi-step troubleshooting

Knowledge Base & Process Contribution

• Use and help maintain internal documentation and predefined workflows
• Flag outdated, missing, or unclear documentation
• Share recurring issue trends and root-cause patterns with Shift Leads and the Support Operations Manager
