At Glowforge, we help people bring home the future and make it their own. Our printer uses a laser to carve and engrave products from raw materials like wood, leather, acrylic – even cardboard. Take a look and see for yourself.

We build magical products to delight our customers, and we do it while taking care of each other. We hire people who are outstanding at what they do, who thrive in tight-knit teams, and who want to make things that make a difference.

Together, we've built a product we're incredibly proud of, and the reward has been incredible growth. We work together because we believe in the power of creativity. We believe we can bring about a future where anyone can print anything.

We'd love to have you join us.

This is a full-time, hourly position with benefits. We're a remote-first company - just let us know where you prefer to work from!

Why we need you

We have the best customers, and our company will succeed or fail based on the experience they have with their Glowforge. Because of you, they will rave to their friends about the outstanding support you provide, and that will help our business grow.

You are someone who goes through life asking, “what is the problem that is trying to be solved?” and then working on solutions. A very strong desire to understand “Why?” When customers turn to us for help you will be the first one there to turn things around -- your kindness and technical expertise will leave them warmly supported and glowing with delight. They'll feel how much you care, appreciate the clarifying questions that you ask, and will be grateful for how clear you make complex things.

Here's what you'll be doing

- You will troubleshoot and resolve customer challenges with the Glowforge app, the mechanical systems of their printer, the designs they're printing, or the materials they’re using. 

- You'll listen, empathize, show patience, and problem-solve. 

- You’ll work through email, phone, chat, or any other forum or tool the company may require. However we can support our customers where they are at. 

- We’ll give you access to a knowledge base and you'll notice patterns, write excellent bug reports, and describe that really complicated thing in really simple steps so that customers can get back to printing happily.

- You’re going to learn our hardware, software, firmware, materials and designs inside and out.

- You’ll be a phenomenal teammate, sharing ideas throughout the day and partnering with senior colleagues to identify solutions .

- You’ll keep a positive disposition and level head even during the worst of times like late on a holiday when a customer is rightfully upset because something isn’t right, and you’re the only one they have to talk to about it.

You need these qualifications

- At least five years of experience supporting customers or an equivalent combination of experience and advanced education.

- One year of experience supporting customers in any channel that is determined by the company, including but not limited to inbound and outbound phones, chat, email, SMS, and video chat.

- A track record of being a powerful customer-advocate and problem-solver.

- You’re profoundly curious and have demonstrated technical expertise in your hobbies or work

- Ability to critically think and respond to customers strategically and thoughtfully, even when circumstances are chaotic and you may not have all the answers.

- You write well, communicate clearly, and listen empathetically.

It would be nice if...

You have:
