Technical Support Specialist   $60,000 USD/year

Description

Educational support ecosystems face mounting complexity as demands from schools, students, and families escalate. Modern schools require immediate, AI-powered responses spanning learning platforms, student information systems, device infrastructure, and operational workflows. Yet most organizations remain trapped by disconnected tools, manual escalation paths, and fragile processes that collapse under real-world pressure.

We bridge this divide through a fundamentally reimagined approach: AI-enhanced "cyborg" agents functioning at the core of a dynamic educational environment. In this position, you will influence how the system evolves. Each resolution strengthens future automation capabilities, every root cause investigation shapes process and policy decisions, and every edge case you resolve amplifies outcomes for thousands of students and educators.

This is production-level, hands-on problem resolution within a service context. You will diagnose ambiguous, multi-stakeholder failures spanning learning applications, student information systems, identity infrastructure, network environments, and operational processes; use AI to formulate hypotheses, validate approaches, and expedite resolution pathways; capture the human reasoning that instructs both systems and teams; and actively surface patterns that transform isolated interventions into sustainable, cross-functional enhancements.

This is not about sorting tickets, following scripts, or defaulting to "escalate and wait." If you excel when documentation is sparse, when challenges bridge engineering, operations, and academic domains, and when you can transition from technical diagnostics to stakeholder coordination without compromising precision, this role will align with your strengths.

What you will be doing

  • AI-Enhanced Issue Resolution: Examine complex tickets escalated from AI systems, contribute human judgment where AI capabilities are limited, and subsequently refine the AI system to close those gaps

What you will NOT be doing

  • Taking two full months to reach productivity; you will be expected to gain proficiency on multiple products within the first month (we acknowledge this is an aggressive timeline)
  • Depending on your managers to clear obstacles; if you are not skilled at self-unblocking, you will likely find this role challenging

Key responsibilities

  • Combine technical human judgment and AI capabilities to provide exceptional customer support, concentrating on complex challenges that AI cannot yet independently resolve

Candidate requirements

  • Must be located in North or South America
  • At least 3 total years of experience in a technical customer support role
  • Basic coding skills for the purpose of troubleshooting/bug fixes
  • Advanced generative AI proficiency (i.e., use of multiple AI tools, ability to automate workflows and custom GPTs); if you've only used LLMs for research, learning, brainstorming, or content generation, that will be deemed insufficient
  • Troubleshooting Skills: Explaining complex issues in simple terms, demonstrating strong problem understanding, recommending relevant troubleshooting strategies, proposing multiple solution paths, and showing attention to detail
