  What You'll Do:
  
  
  • Responding to customer questions and issues across email, live chat, and Zoom, resolving as much as possible on first contact
  • Breaking down technical or complex product issues into clear, friendly explanations for non-technical restaurant staff and owners
  • Owning your queue and prioritizing dynamically throughout the day to hit response and resolution targets, including Time to First Response
  • Writing organized, detailed bug reports and feature feedback for Product and Engineering, and following up until issues are resolved
  • Spotting patterns in recurring issues and proactively flagging trends rather than just closing tickets one by one
  • Contributing to and maintaining help docs, macros, and internal knowledge base articles to reduce repeat questions
  • Staying calm and effective with frustrated or urgent customers, de-escalating where needed
  • Participating in a weekend on-call rotation, since restaurants generate a meaningful share of support volume outside standard weekday hours
  
  
  What We're Looking For:
  
  
  • Technical aptitude with the ability to explain complex issues simply and patiently
  • Experience supporting customers across email, live chat, and video (Zoom or similar)
  • Genuinely enjoys support work - motivated by solving problems and helping people, not just closing tickets
  • Comfortable working with support metrics (Time to First Response, resolution time, CSAT) and using them to guide your day
  • Experience partnering with Product and Engineering, including writing clear, actionable bug tickets
  • Highly organized, able to manage a dynamic workload, and available to work occasional weekend shifts as part of a shared on-call rotation
  
  
  Why Join Us:
  
  
  • A fast-growing market and a chance to make a real impact: The restaurant technology space is expanding quickly, driven by rising demand for digital operations, reservations, and guest experience tools - and restaurants are under more pressure than ever to modernize. You'll join a lean, high-growth team where your work directly shapes how restaurants run better and where individual contributions have outsized impact on the business and the success of the customers we support.
  • Collaborative environment: You'll receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you learn, grow, and achieve your personal/professional goals.
  
  
  What Else You Need to Know:
  
  
  • The yearly total cash compensation for this role is $65-$70k. Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on location, experience, skills, and qualifications. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package - full-time positions are also eligible for equity awards and benefits.
  • Hostie is a remote-first company. Our HQ is in San Francisco, CA but our team is fully distributed with no onsite requirements.
