You will be a part of our support staff, which is a global team that works remotely. You will collaborate daily with our developers and the rest of our customer support team. Do you like troubleshooting WordPress issues and answering technical questions? Do you always like to document yourself precisely before giving advice? Are you able to maintain a friendly and professional communication that invites people to trust you? If you answered yes to these questions, we are sure this position will sound super exciting to you. š¤© We are looking for a friendly person in love with customer support to join the Support Tier 2 team.
In your everyday job in Technical Support, you should, first of all, enjoy connecting with people!

Here is a list describing the tasks involved in this position (do you happen to like making lists? So do we!):
You will provide friendly and professional technical support to our customers via email (we use HelpScout): you will answer questions from both technical and non-technical users, and troubleshoot problems.
You'll also be handling the more technical support tickets we get. These Level 2 tickets involve debugging PHP, identifying bugs, provide our more technical customers with guidance on how to use our functions and hooks, and more.
Your invaluable feedback to the development and product team will help improve our customersā experience.
You will contribute to the plugin documentation by creating and updating content.
You will report issues on GitHub

Proficient knowledge of English.
You will need to be able to write and communicate in English effectively, respectfully, and professionally.
Ā If you also know French, donāt hesitate to specify it in your application: this is a great plus (not mandatory, though!) since part of our team and many of our customers come from France.

Previous freelance or remote job experience.
Ā Slack will be your virtual office, where all the life of the company takes place.
The involvement in the WordPress community.
