About the Role

Fin is the AI Customer Agent company on a mission to help businesses provide perfect customer experiences.

Our AI Agent Fin is the highest-performing AI Customer Agent on the market today, enabling businesses to deliver impeccable, always-on customer support across the customer journey – from service, to sales, to ecommerce. Powered by our own AI models, Fin resolves complex customer issues end-to-end across every channel, with minimal set-up and integration. Fin can also be combined with our natively integrated Intercom help desk for one single system that is designed to meet the needs of modern day support teams.

Founded in 2011, Fin became one of the fastest growing companies and remains one of the largest private software companies in the world with nearly 30,000 global businesses using our products to transform their customer support. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and relentlessly deliver incredible value to our customers.

What's the opportunity?

With the advent of AI, the nature of customer support has changed dramatically - as have the humans who provide it. Our next Technical Support Specialist will be someone who thrives in autonomy, is deeply curious, fluent in AI tools and holds an extremely high bar not just for themselves, but for their teammates.

As a Technical Support Specialist, you'll own complex technical queries around some of our most nuanced features, serve as a point of escalation for your colleagues for the most tricky investigations, consistently provide world class customer support, collaborate with our customers proactively to help them make the most of our platform and help drive improvements in product, processes, and peer development. You'll use AI tools alongside your own expertise to handle complex cases efficiently and play a role in shaping a culture of continuous improvement. We ship product updates consistently, so if constant learning excites and energises you, this environment will suit you well!

If this is the kind of role that excites you, then we want you as our next Technical Support Specialist.
