High-growth startup environment with direct access to the leadership team
The opportunity to shape how support is delivered for a transformative data + AI platform

Troubleshoot and resolve issues across web applications, APIs, databases, and integrations
Assist enterprise customers with onboarding, configuration, and usage of our platform
Document and escalate complex issues to engineering when required
Provide feedback to product and engineering teams to improve reliability, usability, and customer experience
Represent the company with professionalism and a customer-first mindset

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience in technical support, IT, or related roles
Strong knowledge of web applications, APIs, and databases (SQL experience is a plus)
Familiarity with SaaS platforms, cloud services (AWS/GCP/Azure), and distributed systems
Ability to quickly diagnose and resolve technical issues, often under time pressure
Excellent communication skills -- able to explain technical solutions clearly to non-technical users
Experience with support ticketing systems, CRM tools, and documentation platforms
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced startup environment

Ideal Attitude & Mindset

Customer-first: driven to solve problems and deliver excellent service
Resourceful and proactive: you don't just log issues, you work to solve them
Comfortable with high-intensity startup culture and long-term commitment
Strong ownership: you take responsibility for issues until they are resolved
Excited about AI, data, and transparency, and eager to grow with the company

If you're a tech support professional ready to support a global data + AI platform at a critical stage of growth, we want to hear from you.

About the Company

Every business has files, and those files often need to be transferred securely between internal systems or with external clients, suppliers, and other business partners. FTPS and SFTP are the standard file transfer protocols to get that done. Hosted~FTP~ helps your business get more from FTP/SFTP by moving all infrastructure to our secure, reliable, 100% cloud solutions. We also offer bespoke software customizations to deliver additional value tailored to your specific needs. Know more
