Grammarly offers a remote-first hybrid working model. Team members can work primarily remotely. Starting in 2022, teams will meet in person every quarter in one of Grammarly’s hubs, currently in San Francisco, Vancouver, New York, and Kyiv. To ensure that teams are able to overlap in their working hours and to meet face-to-face when needed, all team members need to live within three time zones of their direct team.

The opportunity

Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect, whenever and wherever they communicate. Every day, 30 million people and 30,000 teams around the world use our AI-powered writing assistant. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment.

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for a Technical Support Specialist to join our Technical Support Team. This role will be responsible for providing accurate, empathetic, on-brand help to keep the needs of Grammarly customers at the forefront of every interaction. The Technical Support Specialist will also work closely with key Support and Product teams to resolve unique issues, scale support capabilities, and meet our SLAs. This role will include assisting with various product-related issues, including planning, installation, training, and troubleshooting. We are looking for a highly motivated, goal-oriented individual who excels in problem-solving and collaboration efforts and will be an integral liaison between the Engineering and Support teams.

Your impact

As Technical Support Specialist, you will be accountable for maintaining positive and satisfactory customer relations by providing service via email (help desk) and by working with teams across Grammarly. You will have a direct impact on improving Grammarly product offerings and solutions. 

In this role, you will:

  • Process technical and nontechnical support tickets, always looking for ways to improve ticket-processing metrics.
  • Reproduce and escalate issues reported by users. 
  • Create and maintain documentation for our knowledge base.
  • Help prioritize issues by analyzing the severity of bugs.
  • Improve the team’s productivity and efficiency.

Curious about what you’ll focus on first?

  • By month three, you will autonomously troubleshoot a variety of low- and medium-complexity cases.
  • By month six, you will contribute to the team’s OKRs by demonstrating your exceptional ability to solve all user interaction types with speed and quality.
  • By the end of year one, you will help boost team efficiency by improving customer service procedures, policies, and standards.


We’re looking for someone who

  • Embodies our EAGER values—is ethical, adaptable, gritty, empathetic, and remarkable.
  • Genuinely likes to help others and demonstrates an understanding of what good customer support entails.
  • Can strongly communicate in English, both written and spoken.
  • Is a good communicator with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Is comfortable with both Microsoft Windows and macOS environments. 
  • Demonstrates strong reading comprehension and attention to detail.
  • Has customer service experience and familiarity with tools like Zendesk and JIRA. (This is not required but is a plus!)
  • Knows how to diagnose issues and reproduce bugs.

An Insider's view of Grammarly

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Our values actually represent our team. Discussions about ethical decision-making or tweeting empathetically are common at Grammarly, and I recognize how rare that is.

Celeste

Senior Content Strategy Manager

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

We resolve our problems with constructive discussions that are only made possible by the level of empathy and listening skills that team members have here. It makes me happy to know I work with such exceptional people.

Maryna

Engineering Manager

What is your vision for the company?

Writing helps us all achieve personal, professional, and academic success, but effective communication requires talent and time. It can be very challenging, and we may not always be able to effectively express our meaning, convey our intent, and be fully understood—creating a gap with our audience. We’re building Grammarly to close this gap.

Brad

CEO

What projects are you most excited about?

I always feel pumped when I see the positive feedback we get from our users. To know that your work is helping people discover a product that meaningfully improves their lives—it never gets old.

Shanik

Head of Growth
