Technical Support Engineer

About Administrate

About You

You love a challenge and want to be the best. You take pride and ownership in everything you do, and you love helping people achieve their goals.

You’re a great communicator and don't mind jumping on the phone to follow up on that well crafted email you previously sent. You have a great technical mind and love digging into the details of something, discovering the reasons behind why something isn't working, fixing it, and communicating that well to others, especially customers. People want to work with you. At work you adhere to high standards, take input, provide input, and wrestle with problems until they're solved cleanly. You enjoy working on a very creative team in a collaborative fashion, and you're not afraid to suggest improvements on how the team could do a better job.

You love to work with smart, creative people and hate mediocrity. Small teams, dynamic organizations, and flexible working environments are what you thrive in. Bureaucracy is for someone else who likes wasting time and effort.

Your work day goes by quickly and you leave at the end of the day with a smile on your face.

You hate bad customer service. You love going the extra mile and experiencing outstanding support, and it bugs you that these interactions are more rare than they should be. You know deep down you could do better and you're not afraid to speak up if you think something isn't working and badly impacting customer experience.
