**Job Summary**

We are looking for a \*\*Junior Technical Support Agent\*\* to join our small international team.

This is an **entry-level position**, ideal for a recent graduate with a background in software development, computer science, or IT, who wants to gain hands-on experience working with a real SaaS product in production.  The main reason for this hire is that our main Support Agent has graduated to another role within the company.

This role focuses on:

- Handling client requests via a **ticketing system** (currently Zoho), including escalating to the appropriate teams.
- Performing **technical configurations eg. C**NAME configurations etc. in our backend tools
- Managing and updating Email templates in Sparkpost (HTML / Sparkpost template language: https://developers.sparkpost.com/api/template-language/)
- Working with form-based systems (Cognito Forms) that are part of our backend
- Completing configurations in our user portal based on data collected from the client by our account management team

This is not a sales or account management role.

There is a clear opportunity to grow within the team and take on more technical or product-focused responsibilities over time or change into another position as works.

**Attitude & Culture**

Since this is a fully remote position within a small but close-knit team, we place a strong emphasis on finding someone who is genuinely interested in the challenges of the role and able to manage their time effectively in a home-office environment.

We work in a trust-based, non-micromanaged setup. You have flexibility in how and when you work, and in return we expect ownership and reliability in delivering assigned tasks.

Support and guidance are always available when needed, but this role is best suited to someone who is comfortable working independently and taking responsibility for their work. Even our most junior team members are treated as professionals and trusted to operate on an equal, adult-to-adult basis.

We also place great value on a strong team and error culture. We focus on learning and improving together rather than assigning blame. Open, respectful communication is essential to us—disagreement is always welcome, but personal attacks are not. Maintaining a mutually respectful and constructive environment is especially important in a fully remote setting.

- Work closely with engineering, product, and operations teams
