About the Role
We are looking for a Technical Support Associate to provide first-line support for a SaaS platform used by government and public-sector organizations.

This role is primarily focused on customer support, product guidance, configuration assistance, troubleshooting, and issue ownership. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with web-based applications, communicating with customers in English, investigating issues independently, and escalating technical problems when deeper investigation is required.

This is not a script-based customer service role. We are looking for someone who is technically curious, resourceful, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning a complex technology product.

Key Responsibilities: -

• Provide first-line support through live chat, email, and internal support forms.


• Help customers understand and use product features, workflows, configurations, and modules.


• Troubleshoot common product and application issues.


• Assist customers with configuration and setup-related questions.


• Reproduce straightforward issues before escalating them.


• Document tickets clearly with relevant details, screenshots, steps to reproduce, and supporting information.


• Create Loom videos to explain product workflows or solutions when appropriate.


• Join customer calls when required to understand or resolve issues.


• Identify issues requiring deeper technical investigation and escalate them to Tier 2.


• Communicate issue status, progress, and resolution clearly to customers.


• Follow defined response, resolution, and escalation SLAs.


• Maintain ticket and queue hygiene and ensure customers receive timely updates.


• Contribute to help-center articles, FAQs, and internal knowledge-base documentation.


• Support operational activities such as data quality checks, data enrichment, comment moderation, categorization, and data extraction when required.


• Identify recurring customer issues and knowledge gaps and suggest improvements.


• Work closely with Tier 2, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering teams.

Required Skills & Qualifications: -

• 1–3 years of experience in SaaS, application, technical, or customer support.


• Excellent written and spoken English.


• Strong customer-service and communication skills.


• Experience supporting a web-based application or SaaS product.


• Basic understanding of:


• HTML/CSS


• Web browsers and browser Developer Tools


• HTTP/API concepts


• JSON


• Basic SQL/data concepts


• Familiarity with support/ticketing platforms such as Zendesk, HubSpot, Jira, or similar tools.


• Comfortable using Slack/Teams and remote collaboration tools.


• Strong attention to detail.


• Ability to manage multiple tickets while working against response-time SLAs.


• Ability to investigate problems rather than simply follow predefined checklists.


• Strong ownership and willingness to learn a complex product.

Good to Have: -

• Experience supporting enterprise SaaS products.


• Exposure to Datadog or similar monitoring tools.


• Exposure to Databricks or similar data platforms.


• Basic API testing using Postman or similar tools.


• Basic JavaScript knowledge.


• Experience with CRM/helpdesk platforms.


• Experience in GovTech or public-sector technology.

The ideal candidate is:

• Customer-focused


• Technically curious


• Resourceful and proactive


• Detail-oriented


• Comfortable communicating with customers


• Comfortable learning new technology


• Able to work independently


• Comfortable with SLA-driven environments
