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'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)!

- 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’ve worked in a technical customer support role in a SaaS environment before.*
- You love technology and love to learn!
- You thrive on helping others in a fast and friendly way.
- You enjoy writing and can express even the most technically complex ideas, clearly and simply.

- 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.
