What would a typical day look like?

As a Technology Specialist, you are responsible for providing instant triage and remote troubleshooting support to end-users as they call or send emails to us describing their challenges with any of their home technology. When an end-user needs assistance, you quickly assess their situation and if possible provide a solution in the moment. You document the issue, the steps you took to diagnose, and the workarounds you provided. You assess urgency in an empathetic manner so that our partners in the field can follow up efficiently and appropriately. You will learn best practices for providing support, troubleshooting technology, and maintaining good data.

In short, this position provides remote support for all manner of smart home systems, including audio, video, networks, lighting, thermostats, access control, cameras, and phone systems. The list is never ending and always expanding. As you get more comfortable in your role, you'll be expected to assist in training others.

• Do you pick up the ball that someone else may have dropped? We’re looking for people that own the company goals beyond just doing their job.
