Who We Are

Axi is a leading global provider of margin and deliverable Foreign Exchange, Contracts for Difference (CFDs), and Financial Spread betting. Our business has evolved into a world-class, multifaceted brokerage with offices in six regions. With heavy investment in the latest trading technology, Axi seeks to offer the most comprehensive end-to-end trading experience available, servicing traders of all levels from beginners to institutional‑level clients.

Let's talk about the cool stuff you will do at Axi!

Axi's Philippines team is the operational backbone for a globally distributed workforce — and this role sits at the centre of keeping it running. As a Service Desk Engineer, you'll own the end-to-end technology experience for Axi users in the region: from the devices they boot up each morning to the infrastructure that keeps the business connected across time zones. This is not a queue‑clearing role — it's a position that demands ownership, technical depth, and the judgment to triage and resolve issues before they become problems for the business.

Your EDGE Assignment/You Will

• Own first and second‑level incident resolution across hardware, software, and network systems, ensuring SLAs are met and users are kept informed at every step.
• Manage device provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle for Windows and macOS endpoints — including OS deployment, application rollout via Intune, and hardware sourcing and asset management.
• Maintain and administer Active Directory and Microsoft 365 environments, including user onboarding and offboarding, access management, and ongoing account hygiene.
• Keep office infrastructure operational — networks, telephone systems, laptops, and peripherals — and elevate or coordinate vendor remediation when required.
• Execute system changes and upgrades in collaboration with the Technology Operations team, following documented change management procedures.
• Build and maintain technical documentation — standards, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides — that raise the floor for the entire support function.
• Manage vendor relationships for IT hardware and software procurement, coordinating sourcing, delivery, and issue resolution end-to-end.
• Serve as part of the 24/7 SOC rotation, handling security‑related incidents and ensuring response actions are logged, tracked, and escalated appropriately.

Are you the one?

• 5+ years of experience in a service desk or IT support role within a global organisation, fintech, or large enterprise environment.
• Proven ability to administer and troubleshoot Windows and macOS environments across a distributed user base.
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Defender, Microsoft 365 Suite, Active Directory, and Intune as core daily tooling — not just surface‑level familiarity.
• Demonstrated experience managing user lifecycle processes — onboarding, offboarding, access provisioning — at scale and without dropping the ball.
• Solid working knowledge of ITIL practices and ticketing systems, with a track record of meeting and exceeding SLA targets.
• Experience with phone system management and end‑user hardware procurement and asset tracking.
• Exposure to Security Operations Centre (SOC) workflows is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with Jamf for macOS device management is preferred, and experience administering VPN solutions is advantageous.
• Composed under pressure, with the ability to context‑switch between a critical infrastructure fault and a routine user request without letting either slip.
• Methodical in documentation and follow‑through — the kind of engineer who closes the loop, not just the ticket.

Axi's bag of delights

• Competitive and attractive compensation.
• Extensive learning opportunities, such as professional training & certifications and soft skills development.
• Health and life insurance for employees along with 2 dependents.
• Generous time off, including 20 days of annual leave per year (incremental leave up to 25 days) and paid sick leave.
• Team‑building experiences and corporate parties.

• Talent Acquisition Interview (45 minutes)
• Technical Interview — General (60 minutes)
