The Firstup Support Team leverages the latest technology advances in AI-driven solution recommendations and predictive analytics, to maximize Customer self-service, while also partnering with Product and Engineering to limit chronic issue recurrence. This means that every day you will be learning something new about the platform and how Customers use it to achieve their own business outcomes, while coming up with your own solutions to challenges ranging from newly introduced products and features, to complex interactions with Enterprise IT Environments and third party products. We maximize our human capital to work on these new issues, and heavily rely on technology to resolve support queries related to known issues. This same philosophy applies to every role within the organization and requires skillful adaptability, developing deep subject matter expertise in specific areas that your peers can rely on you for, a curiosity-mindedness, and constantly questioning and challenging the status quo to continually improve and scale.
As a Technical Support Engineer, you will focus primarily on Customer questions, incidents and bug/feature request management. You should be able to take on support cases of low – moderate complexity and be able to manage your own priorities. We value team players who are self-directed and want to influence the next wave in SaaS technology and service innovation.
