Role at a Glance
Title: Technical Support Specialist
Team: Customer Success Account Management (CSAM)
Employment Type: Full-time
Location: APAC
Why This Role Matters
As our client base grows, so does the number of issues that need a fast, clear and consistent response. We’re looking for our first Technical Support Specialist to own the customer support experience from the moment an issue comes in until it is resolved and confirmed with the client.
You’ll be the main point of contact for incoming support requests, working closely with our Support Engineer, who handles deeper technical investigations, and coordinating with Engineering and Product when needed. Beyond resolving individual issues, you’ll build the processes, documentation and knowledge base that help us deliver reliable support as we scale.
As our first Support hire, you’ll have the opportunity to shape how Hupo handles customer support, with room to grow into a leadership position as the team expands.
What You'll Do
Own incoming customer support requests
Own our customer support platform as the single intake channel for support requests, whether they come through the in-app widget, forwarded email or another routed channel.
Send the first response to every ticket within the agreed response time.
Gather the information needed to investigate issues, including the client and environment, affected users, steps to reproduce, screenshots, browser and device details, and session IDs.
Resolve common issues that don't require Engineering, such as user errors and known issues, using the knowledge base.
Help clients with access, configuration and platform questions
Troubleshoot login and access issues involving SSO and SAML sign-in, user provisioning, roles and permissions.
Handle configuration questions and changes within admin tools, escalating requests that require code or infrastructure changes.
Support enterprise IT and security questions relating to access, network whitelisting and the support platform itself, including what data the in-app widget captures. Bring in FDEs or Engineering when needed.
Help troubleshoot voice and session quality issues, including microphone and browser permissions, connectivity, firewall blocks and latency.
Investigate platform and integration questions, such as LMS and SCORM completion sync issues or reporting discrepancies.
Manage escalations and coordinate with Engineering and Product
Log issues requiring Engineering or Product input in Jira, with a clear summary, client details, priority and relevant troubleshooting information.
Define and maintain ticket routing rules, including ticket types (bug, question, feature request or access issue), priorities and tags by client and market. The Support Engineer owns the integration itself.
Apply agreed rules to distinguish bugs, configuration issues, feature requests and user errors.
Keep customer support tickets and Jira statuses in sync so clients and internal teams have a consistent view of each issue.
Track escalated tickets, follow up with owners and confirm fixes with clients before closing tickets.
Keep clients informed and manage incidents
Own response times and regular status updates for every open ticket, including those waiting on Engineering or Product.
Manage client communication during incidents, including initial notices, regular updates and closing messages.
Share root-cause analyses (RCAs) with clients once they are ready from the Support Engineer.
Join client calls for escalations, incident debriefs and regular support reviews with key accounts.
Write clear client-facing communications, including incident notices, status updates and known-issue updates.
Report weekly on ticket volume, response times, top issue categories and recurring issues by client, flagging patterns to the Support Engineer.
Own response times and update frequency, while Engineering or Product owns resolution timelines when a fix depends on them.
Build the knowledge base and improve support processes
Build and maintain a knowledge base for clients and the internal team, using lessons from resolved tickets.
Develop our built-in help center and AI-powered answers to help clients resolve common questions independently.
Identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve documentation, ticket routing and the overall support experience.
Outside this role
Deeper technical investigation, such as log analysis, reproducing production issues and code fixes, sits with the Support Engineer.
New client deployments, content creation and commercial conversations are outside the scope of this role.
What Success Looks Like
Within your first few months, you'll:
Establish a reliable support process where incoming requests are captured, acknowledged and tracked through to resolution.
Ensure Engineering receives clear, actionable information for escalated issues, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth with clients.
Build consistent ticket routing, prioritisation and status-tracking practices across the customer support platform and Jira.
Create and maintain a useful knowledge base and help center that enable clients to resolve common issues independently.
Establish regular reporting on support performance and recurring issues, helping the team identify areas for improvement.
You’ll also be expected to continuously:
Keep clients informed and follow through on every open issue, even when resolution depends on another team.
Identify recurring problems and suggest practical ways to improve the support experience.
Adapt and expand your impact as Hupo's client base and support needs grow.
Take ownership of new problems and help shape the support function as the team scales.
