As one of our Customer Support Engineers, you will be the helping hand that our users count on, combining your love of technology with your love of helping people. To your teammates you will be the pulse of our users, a customer expert, always ensuring their voices are heard.
Our small, but mighty, Customer Success team is spread across the globe helping to support our customers 24 hours, 5 days a week. Through your conversations with our users, you’ll understand their needs and concerns, and anticipate their future questions. From guiding them on how to do something or good dashboard design, to making recommendations on what features will help them get the most out of Geckoboard for their teams.
You will cultivate a mastery of our product, helping users wherever they need it: email, forums, Twitter, Facebook, live chat, etc. using primarily Zendesk and Intercom, but also Zoom from time to time. You'll also help keep our knowledge base up to date so that we share your insights with the rest of the team and our customers. And your curious nature will find you investigating bugs and working with QA and Product to prioritize and squash them (the bugs, not our customers)!
Most of all, as our Customer Support Engineer, you’ll relish every opportunity to inspire, delight, and exceed our customer's expectations. So much so they share their experience with others!
- You will learn a lot — about our customers, product, processes, culture, and more — through a combination of self-directed and team-supported learning on your onboarding journey.
- You will have settled into the team;you’re comfortable working both independently and collaboratively to ensure customers have a best-in-class support experience.
- You’ll have developed a good understanding of Geckoboard in general and of our most popular integrations in particular.
- You’ll be talking to customers from your very first day at Geckoboard, so by day 90, you can expect to have handled over 400 conversations with customers on a variety of topics.
- You’ve worked in a technical customer support role in a SaaS environment before.*
- You’re empathetic and patient.
- You take time to understand a customer's needs and know that patience and understanding are the most important ingredients in helping a customer with their concerns. Even the smartest people make mistakes.
- You’re comfortable with HTML, Markdown, and CSS and familiar with the concept of APIs.
- You're also familiar with or would like to learn SQL, and JavaScript, Google Apps Script or Python.
- You enjoy diving into the details to solve tricky problems and are constantly looking at how you can solve the next problem before it happens.
- You enjoy writing and can express even the most technically complex ideas, clearly and simply.
- You thrive on helping others in a fast and friendly way.
- You love technology and love to learn!
- You enjoy a good GIF!
* Right now, we’re looking for someone with at least 1-2 years experience in customer support, working with APIs or in the SaaS industry, to help scale our team. We know there are great candidates for this position who have worked in other industries or have transferable skills, if that’s you, you're not sure, or you’re interested in joining our team from somewhere else in the world, head to www.geckoboard.com/careers and get in touch. We're growing and we’d love to hear from you and chat about this or future opportunities to join the Geckoboard team!
If all the above sounds like your cup of tea, then we'd love to hear from you! We’re more interested in what you can offer than what you’ve done, so here’s how to apply:
Sign up for a free Geckoboard account and create your own dashboard. This is your opportunity to shine and show off so go wild. We'd really like to see you add a widget on your dashboard that includes a dataset you've developed, pushes data using custom widgets, OR uses a database and SQL. Don't forget to please add sharing URL of the dashboard you've created in the application!
You can expect to hear from us after you apply, even if we don’t seem like a good fit. The entire process usually takes about 3 weeks from end to end, but we’re flexible and will do our best to accommodate timings that will work for you. Throughout the process, our Talent Partner will keep you up to date on your progress, what to prepare for, and any feedback.
Please note: this role is only open to those who are based between Brazil standard time or Central Standard time in the US. Please check our careers page for positions in other regions/time zones.
