- Take ownership of problems from investigation through resolution, adapting to evolving systems and processes while helping build a reliable, scalable support and operations function.
- Respond to customer inquiries through Intercom, Pylon, email, and other support channels, resolving Tier 1 issues efficiently and professionally.
- Troubleshoot software, hardware, account, configuration, and connected-device issues, escalating more complex problems to the appropriate internal teams.
