Your mission

As a Technical Customer Support Specialist, you'll be the trusted technical problem-solver our customers reach for when something is in their way. You'll resolve issues with speed and care across email, chat, and the occasional call — from everyday product questions to hands-on SSO and custom domain setups — and you'll make sure every customer leaves an interaction feeling looked after, not just closed out.

Just as importantly, you'll help our support system get smarter over time: improving our knowledge base, sharpening what our AI tooling can resolve on its own, and turning recurring problems into permanent fixes.

Your responsibilitiesBe the technical front line
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for customers seeking technical assistance through Intercom (email and chat), and be available for occasional calls for technical setups.
  • Provide timely, professional, genuinely helpful responses — troubleshooting issues and resolving them to the customer's satisfaction.
  • Maintain a customer-centric approach throughout every interaction, not just until the ticket closes.
Troubleshoot and resolve at the root
  • Diagnose and analyze reported issues, identify the root cause, and implement effective solutions.
  • Provide clear workarounds where a full fix isn't immediately available, and report bugs with the detail Engineering needs to act.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, and subject-matter experts to resolve complex or escalated issues.
  • Document your troubleshooting steps and solutions so the whole team benefits.
Own technical setups
  • Coordinate and implement Custom Domain and SSO/SAML setups for customers, including certificate handling and renewals.
  • Drive setups to timely completion against go-live dates and customer deadlines, and troubleshoot setup issues when they arise.
Escalate well
  • Escalate critical or high-impact issues to senior support or Engineering at the right moment, with the context needed for a fast resolution.
  • Keep customers informed on progress and expected timelines throughout an escalation.
Make support smarter with AI and self-service
  • Work alongside our AI support tooling (Fin and related automation), spotting where it falls short and feeding back the gaps so it resolves more on its own over time.
  • Proactively educate customers on self-help resources.
Build the knowledge ecosystem
  • Create and maintain support documentation — FAQs, knowledge base articles, and troubleshooting guides — that compounds in value with every interaction.
  • Share knowledge and best practices with teammates to raise the whole team's technical capability.
Drive quality and continuous improvement
  • Uphold our quality standards across every interaction, and take part in regular quality reviews and training.
  • Surface recurring issues and patterns, and turn them into process improvements rather than repeated tickets.
  • Handle sensitive customer data in line with our security and compliance protocols.
Your story
  • You speak German and English fluently
  • You're based in Switzerland and able to work hybrid from our St Gallen office - 2 days a week.
  • You have experience in a technical, customer-facing support role, within a SaaS company, and are comfortable owning issues end to end.
  • You have real technical aptitude — you're comfortable with concepts like SSO/SAML, DNS and custom domains, APIs, and web
  • technologies, and you enjoy learning the next layer.
  • You've worked in a modern support tooling environment (Intercom or similar) and are excited to work alongside AI and automation, not threatened by it.
  • You have a genuine instinct for customer experience — you care about how customers feel, not just whether the ticket closed.
  • You think in systems and solve problems at the root, and you document as you go.
  • You're a clear, confident communicator with both customers and internal technical teams.
How we'll measure success
  • High customer satisfaction across your interactions.
  • Technical setups completed on time, against customer go-live deadlines.
  • Growing self-service and AI deflection driven by the knowledge and feedback you contribute.
