Information Technology$55k–$71k/yrFull-time

About the role

MacStadium's customer base and product portfolio are growing. Overall support volume is increasing. We are investing in the support team to stay ahead of that growth — adding a Tier 1 Support Specialist to continue delivering a best-in-class support experience for our amazing customers.

You will act the human counterpart to MacStadium's new Tier 1 AI agent. The AI handles first-touch responses and the high-volume, low-complexity ticket flow. You own the rest: triage oversight for the AI agent, ticket lifecycle from new through solved, every escalation that goes to Orka development, platform engineering or product, and a defined set of Tier 1 software processes that customers depend on.

What You Will Do

Triage and ticket lifecycle: Every support ticket has a clear owner, priority, and next action. While the AI agent will deliver an instant response for most customer questions, there may be some that require a human touch. We've developed a set of routing rules to efficiently drive towards customer resolutions. You keep the queue healthy — no stale tickets, no orphaned threads, no customer waiting longer than the SLA without an update.
Escalations: When a ticket can't be resolved at Tier 1, you package it for the next team with full context: reproduction steps, customer impact, what's already been tried, and links to related tickets. You stay the customer-facing point of contact through resolution so the rest of the team can focus on the fix.
Apple Business Manager (ABM) and MDM enrollment: End-to-end ownership of ABM and MDM onboarding for new customers and ongoing enrollment work for existing fleets. Public-key exchange, serial assignment, MDM profile pushes, troubleshooting enrollment failures, and partnering with the customer's IT team when they're new to ABM.
SSO support: SAML/OIDC onboarding for new customers (Okta, Entra, Google, JumpCloud), troubleshooting authentication failures, and proactive management of SSO certificate renewals.
Working with the Tier 1 AI agent: You're the quality bar for the AI's responses: reviewing its drafts when it flags low confidence, retraining it when it gets a recurring case wrong, and writing the knowledge base articles it draws from. You're the reason the AI gets smarter every quarter.
Additionally you will:
Partner with the existing US and EU support team to maintain follow-the-sun coverage, share knowledge, and develop shared runbooks and troubleshooting guides
Help shape the AI support agent's effectiveness — reviewing its output, identifying gaps, tuning responses, and ensuring quality as it handles Tier 1 volume
Collaborate with the Head of Support on process improvements, knowledge base development, and operational metrics
Contribute to internal documentation, including root cause analysis write-ups, known issue tracking, and customer-facing KB articles
Act as a voice of the customer internally, surfacing recurring issues and feature requests to the product and engineering teams

Required

1–3 years in technical customer support, help desk, IT support, or a similar role
Comfortable in Zendesk (or a peer ticketing system) and confident triaging a queue without hand-holding
Excellent written communication: you can explain complex technical issues clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders, and you document what you learn
AI Native. Comfortable working with AI tooling as a collaborator and productivity accelerator
Demonstrated ability to manage a ticket queue or support workflow — you know how to prioritize, triage, and keep things moving without dropping balls
Based in the US with availability during standard US business hours (Eastern or Central preferred)
Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously on a small, distributed team

PREFERRED

Working knowledge of at least one identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, JumpCloud) and the basics of SAML and OIDC
Familiar with Apple's enterprise tooling — Apple Business Manager, MDM concepts (Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, or similar), and how Apple device enrollment works in practice
Experience supporting a SaaS or infrastructure product
Familiarity with Confluence, Slack, and modern dev/ops collaboration tools
Basic networking: VPN concepts, certificates

What Success Looks Like

Within 30 days: Owning the Tier 1 ticket queue, triaging and resolving Tier 1 tickets.
Within 60 days: Handling implementations for ABM/MDM and SSO. Contributing to the internal and external knowledge base. Actively shaping the AI agent's Tier 1 output quality.
Within 90 days: Fully operational — Tier 1 queue runs smoothly under your ownership.
