Job Description

Our software and services aim to provide a seamless experience, but when things don’t go as planned, our customers rely on us for help.

On a typical day as a Happiness Engineer, you will:

• Work as part of our global team with a high degree of independence and accountability.
• Assist a variety of customers by email, live chat, voice, and/or video calls. This might include technical troubleshooting with a developer, an educational walkthrough with an end user, or a consultative sales call with a mid-sized agency. 
• Go beyond the immediate question to help our customers succeed with our products. 
• Reach out to potential and existing customers to learn about their goals, experience with our products, and how we can ensure their continued success.  
• Problem-solve, troubleshoot, dogfood, and test.
• Embrace change and learn new things.  
• Proactively recommend an idea that will help the customer be more successful.

What we’re looking for:

• You have deep experience in technical support, engineering and/or customer success. Proficiency with WordPress is a big plus.  
• You are an expert communicator and can quickly establish rapport with end users, developers, and agency clients alike. You must be able to write and speak fluently in English.
• You’re an exceptional problem-solver and have great judgment. Your solutions not only fix immediate issues but also pave the way for sustained growth for our customers with our products and services.
• You value accountability and are impeccable with follow-through. You stay professional and respectful in intense situations, comfortably de-escalate upset customers, and welcome critical feedback. 
• You’re adaptable, curious, and excited by change. You love to learn new things!  
• You care deeply about the customer experience, and you assume personal responsibility over every aspect of it.  
• You are a strong cross-functional collaborator, excelling at raising issues internally and driving the follow-up to ensure resolutions.
• As a member of a global team providing 24/7 support, you must be available for occasional weekend and holiday coverage.
• Bonus Skill: You have experience with eCommerce or setting up a business.

An ideal candidate:

While the above skills are essential, an ideal candidate would also possess the following:

• Experience as either a deep technical troubleshooter (“Tier 3” or other escalated support team), or a customer success representative or technical account manager for agency-level clientele. 
• Experience creating and supporting WordPress websites, and with customizing WordPress themes and plugins using PHP, CSS, JS, and HTML.
• If you have experience in sales or technical account management, we want to hear about it! Also let us know if you have experience in leadership in a technical or customer success field. 

If you're passionate about WordPress, love solving problems, and thrive in a dynamic environment where growth is the name of the game, we want you on our team!
