The role as Second-Level Support

A customer service agent for customer service agents—how’s that for meta?

Zammad isn’t just a monthly-subscription SaaS product; as an open-source application, it’s available for free to anyone that wants to run it on their own hardware instead. That means customer questions can run the gamut, from “Where do I change my password?” to “How do I fix these unresolved package dependency errors on Debian when trying to install via apt?”

As a second-level support agent, you will:

• answer customer questions about usage, system configuration, and expansion options;
• advise on and facilitate customer migrations from other helpdesk systems; and
• advocate for customer and community needs to our product development team.

In short, your work will help customers get the most out of our product and provide the interface between our customers and the product development team.
