- Documentation Development: Write, edit, and maintain a comprehensive Help Center that empowers users to resolve common issues independently.
- Quality Assurance: Test new releases, explore edge cases, and report bugs or usability concerns to the product team, ensuring a smooth user experience.
- Knowledge Sharing: Create internal FAQs, troubleshooting guides, and training materials for future support hires.
- Feedback Loop: Gather user feedback, identify recurring pain points, and collaborate with product, engineering, and marketing to drive continuous improvement.
Essential Qualifications

- Strong curiosity and a proven ability to quickly learn complex software products, preferably in the SaaS, web‑hosting, or e‑learning domains.
- Basic understanding of DNS concepts, including CNAME and CAA records, and experience (or willingness to learn) configuring DNS for web services.
- Excellent problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and a proactive attitude toward identifying and resolving issues.
- Self‑motivation and discipline to thrive in a fully remote, flexible‑schedule environment.
Preferred Experience & Skills

- Familiarity with web‑hosting control panels, cPanel, Plesk, or cloud hosting services.
- Prior exposure to ticketing systems (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Help Scout) and knowledge‑base tools.
- Basic scripting or automation knowledge (e.g., Bash, PowerShell) to streamline repetitive support tasks.

- Competitive Salary: $300 USD per month, with room for negotiation based on experience and performance.
- Full‑Time Freelance Arrangement: Contracted as a freelancer, allowing you to invoice via wire transfer or Upwork Direct contracts.
- Remote‑First Policy: Work from any location, using your own timezone. No need to align with European CET hours, though most of your work should fall in your local morning‑to‑afternoon window.
- Flexible Hours: An 8‑hour workday with a schedule you design, provided you are available during peak support windows.
- Seasonal Availability: Required presence from 22 December to the first week of January, and from mid‑July to mid‑August. Outside these periods, you enjoy up to 20 days of paid leave per year.
- Professional Growth: Direct mentorship from the founder, exposure to product road‑mapping, and the chance to influence the support culture from day one.
