About the Role
We're looking for a Technical Support Specialist to join our team and provide world-class support to our customers. This role requires availability aligned with US West Coast business hours (PST/PT), as you'll be supporting customers and internal teams in that time zone.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the first point of contact for customer inquiries via email, chat, and ticketing systems
- Troubleshoot technical issues related to our platform, including configuration, integration, and connectivity questions
- Reproduce and document bugs, working closely with Engineering and Product teams to drive resolution
- Maintain and improve our knowledge base, FAQs, and support documentation
- Track and manage support tickets, ensuring SLAs are met
- Escalate complex technical issues to the appropriate teams while maintaining ownership of the customer relationship
- Gather and relay customer feedback to help shape product improvements
- Monitor system health and alerts, flagging anomalies as needed
What We're Looking For
- 3-5 years of experience in a technical support, customer support, or helpdesk role. SaaS/security experience is a plus.
- Basic technical understanding — comfort with concepts like APIs, logs, cloud environments, networking basics, or willingness to learn quickly
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a customer-first attitude
- Ability to work independently in a remote environment
- Availability during US West Coast hours (PST/PT) — this is a core requirement of the role
- Comfortable working with ticketing systems (Zendesk, Hubspot, Intercom, or similar)
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts (threat detection, SOC operations, SIEM tools)
- Basic scripting or command-line experience
- Experience supporting AI/ML-based products
The expected base salary for this role is $75,000-$80,000. This is a good-faith estimate, but does not include equity or other forms of compensation. Pay will be based on experience level, but those outside of the salary band are welcome to apply.
