T2 support professional, or experienced T1, wondering if you should branch out? Up-and-coming with more to give and nowhere to give it in your current job? Wewould like to hear from you.
The RoleWe are seeking aTier 2 Technical Support Specialist / Cloud Operations Assistant, reporting to the Manager, Customer Support. In a smaller team environment, the role is broader than a traditional support position and offers the opportunity to help define the cloud operations role and optionally move into it full-time as this new line of business expands. It also works closely with the Customer Success and Professional Services teams, contributing across multiple areas of the business.
This position is well suited to someone who enjoysproblem solving, understanding how systems work, and helping customers succeed with complex software. Our software is built on a Microsoft tech-stack (Windows servers and network, Kestrel web service, SQL Server, Azure cloud) and you will work closely with our customers to diagnose and resolve environment, installation, and product issues, both on-prem and in our cloud hosting environment. Closely allied to technical support, within our cloud operations team you will be provisioning client systems and monitoring servers.
The role will evolve rapidly on two fronts: as we grow our new hosting business; and as we adopt AI as a tool for our business and offer it within our products. You will adapt with it and are expected to contribute your ideas and energy to these changes.
Working Hours9:00 AM - 5:30 PM Pacific Time / Noon 8:30 PM Eastern Time + Occasional After-hours/Weekends
These hours make the role particularly suitable for candidates located inWestern or Mountain time zones, though we are equally open to candidates in Eastern time zones who prefer a later workday.
The role will occasionally require out-of-office-hours (evenings/weekends) as part of your standard 40hour week.
