Use active listening and structured diagnostic questions to understand symptoms, recent

Reproduce and simulate reported issues using office-based test systems; collect and analyze system data and logs to isolate software, configuration, connectivity, or hardware causes.
Guide customers with varying technical knowledge through approved troubleshooting steps, explain instructions clearly, and verify that functionality has been restored.
Maintain ownership of customer cases through resolution, including accurate ticket documentation, timely follow-up, and clear communication of progress and next steps.
Escalate issues beyond first-line support to Tier II technical support in Israel or coordinate onsite service as appropriate; provide complete diagnostic findings and remain engaged in customer follow-up.
Perform approved software upgrades and support system configuration and implementation activities within the role’s training and authorization.
Coordinate product returns through the return merchandise authorization (RMA) process when required.
Deliver customer training and develop knowledge-based articles, troubleshooting procedures, and how-to guides.
Identify recurring issues, share findings with technical and product teams, and contribute to service and product improvements.
Take initiative during periods of lower support volume to improve processes, develop support materials, and contribute to cross-functional projects as the business grows.
Follow applicable service documentation, complaint-handling, customer-site safety, and data-security procedures.
Required Qualifications
At least three years of experience in technical support, software troubleshooting, systems implementation, or a related role supporting technology products that combine hardware and software.
Demonstrated ability to investigate software and system issues, reproduce reported problems, review diagnostic information, and work methodically toward resolution.
Working knowledge of operating systems, software configuration, connectivity, and remote troubleshooting tools, with the ability to learn product-specific systems.
Strong customer-service skills, including active listening, effective diagnostic questioning,
patience, and the ability to communicate technical instructions clearly to nontechnical users.
Excellent verbal and written English communication skills, strong attention to detail, and accurate case documentation.
Ability to manage multiple customer issues, exercise sound judgment, work independently, and collaborate with a global technical team.
Comfort working in a growing business, taking ownership, and contributing to projects and process improvements beyond routine support.

Experience with networking diagnostics, databases, scripting, or software testing relevant to troubleshooting connected systems.
