Customer Support Specialist
Full-Time / Immediately / Remote (US time)
The Role
The Customer Support Specialist is responsible for resolving product guidance and technical support issues, ensuring accurate troubleshooting, and maintaining high support quality standards. This role bridges frontline support and engineering by proactively investigating root causes, documenting bugs, and feeding back product-related insights to ensure long-term customer success.
What you will do
Core Responsibilities
- Technical Support & Troubleshooting: Handle support tickets with a detective’s mindset, looking beyond the surface-level symptom to understand the "why" behind the issue.
- Customer Success Advocacy: Go beyond basic "how-to" answers to provide strategic guidance that helps customers achieve their specific goals (e.g., "I see you're hosting a large event; here’s how to optimise your settings for 500+ users").
- Escalation & Collaboration: Serve as the bridge between the user’s frustration and the engineering team’s solution, ensuring the "voice of the customer" is heard during bug prioritisation.
- Knowledge & Insight Mining: Identify patterns in support cases to propose product improvements. Use curiosity to explore "edge cases" before they become widespread issues.
Expected Outcomes
- High Customer Satisfaction (CSAT/NPS): Customers feel heard and empowered, not just "processed."
- Reduced Friction: Proactive identification of UX hurdles that lead to fewer repetitive "how-to" tickets.
- Engineering Efficiency: Reduced engineering time spent on investigations due to high-quality, curious, and thorough reproduction steps.
