Application Support Engineer   $60,000 USD/year

Description

Educational support systems are buckling under mounting complexity as schools, students, and families demand faster, smarter responses. Today's institutions expect real-time, AI-driven support spanning learning platforms, student information systems, hardware, and operational processes. Yet most organizations remain trapped in disjointed tools, manual handoffs, and fragile workflows that collapse when tested by real-world scenarios.

We address this challenge through a fundamentally reimagined approach: AI-enhanced "cyborg" support agents positioned at the heart of a dynamic educational environment. In this position, you will influence how the system evolves. Each resolution refines future automation, each root cause investigation shapes process and governance, and each complex scenario you decode improves outcomes for thousands of learners and teaching staff.

This is direct, production-level troubleshooting within a service context. You will investigate unclear, multi-party incidents spanning educational applications, SIS infrastructure, authentication frameworks, network layers, and operational sequences; apply AI to generate hypotheses, validate approaches, and speed up resolution; capture the human logic that trains both technology and colleagues; and systematically surface trends that convert isolated fixes into lasting, organization-wide enhancements.

This is not about sorting tickets, following scripts, or passing issues up the chain. If you excel when documentation is sparse, when challenges cross engineering, operations, and curriculum boundaries, and when you transition seamlessly from technical diagnosis to stakeholder coordination without sacrificing precision, this role will suit you.

What you will be doing

  • AI-Enhanced Customer Resolution: Examine escalated cases flagged by AI tooling, contribute human judgment where AI capabilities are limited, and subsequently refine the AI platform to narrow that gap

What you will NOT be doing

  • Spending two full months onboarding; you will be expected to gain proficiency across multiple products within your first month (we acknowledge this pace is demanding)
  • Leaning on managers for problem-solving assistance; if you cannot independently overcome obstacles, this role will present significant challenges

Key responsibilities

  • Combine specialized human insight with AI-driven tools to provide outstanding customer support, concentrating on intricate problems that AI systems are not yet equipped to handle independently

Candidate requirements

  • Must be located in North or South America
  • Minimum 3 years of cumulative experience in technical customer support
  • Foundational programming ability for troubleshooting and minor bug resolution
  • Advanced expertise with generative AI platforms (i.e., working across multiple AI systems, capable of workflow automation and building custom GPTs); experience limited to using LLMs for research, education, ideation, or writing will not meet this standard
  • Diagnostic Proficiency: Translating intricate issues into accessible language, displaying deep problem comprehension, suggesting appropriate troubleshooting methods, offering multiple resolution approaches, and exhibiting meticulous attention to detail
