Customer Support Engineer   $60,000 USD/year

Description

Educational support organizations face mounting complexity as schools, students, and families demand higher levels of service. Today's institutions require immediate, AI-driven responses spanning learning platforms, student information systems, devices, and operational processes. Yet many teams remain trapped in disconnected tools, manual handoffs, and fragile systems that buckle when tested in live environments.

We address this challenge through a distinct approach: AI-enhanced "cyborg" agents functioning at the core of an active educational environment. In this position, you will influence how the system evolves. Each resolution refines future automation, each root cause investigation shapes process and policy, and each complex scenario you decode strengthens outcomes for thousands of students and educators.

This is direct, production-level problem solving within a service context. You will diagnose unclear, multi-party failures across learning applications, SIS platforms, identity systems, networks, and operational processes; use AI to generate hypotheses, test assumptions, and expedite resolution strategies; capture the human logic that educates both systems and colleagues; and proactively surface patterns that convert isolated fixes into lasting, organization-wide improvements.

This is not ticket sorting, checklist execution, or "escalate and wait." If you excel when documentation is sparse, when problems cross engineering, operations, and academic domains, and when you can shift from technical diagnosis to stakeholder coordination without sacrificing precision, this role will suit you well.

What you will be doing

  • AI-Augmented Customer Resolutions: Examine complex tickets escalated by AI systems, apply human judgment to domains where AI underperforms, and then bridge the gap by refining the AI system

What you will NOT be doing

  • Taking two whole months to get up to speed; you will be expected to ramp up on several products within the first month (we are aware this is aggressive)
  • Relying on your managers for help; if you are not adept at unblocking yourself, you will likely struggle in this role

Key responsibilities

  • Combine technical human expertise and AI capabilities to provide exceptional customer support, concentrating on complex issues that AI cannot yet fully address

Candidate requirements

  • Must be based 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
