You will troubleshoot technical issues, debug errors, and work with developer tools to support customers. With a user-first mindset, strong communication skills, and experience in e-commerce or B2B SaaS, you will effectively communicate with customers, guide merchants through the setup process, and contribute to help center articles and internal resources. This is a fully remote role, and candidates must be based in Brazil or Mexico.

About the Role
As a Technical Customer Success Specialist, you will be wearing multiple hats, playing a crucial role in providing technical support, assisting sales teams with technical expertise, and supporting new customer onboarding through Shopify theme customization. This is not a traditional account management or customer relationship role; this is a technical role with more development and systems responsibilities rather than frontline support (see more in the Requirements section).
At Relay we provide you with a support structure and set clear goals, and how you achieve them is up to you. A typical day could consist of replying to technical support tickets on the intercom, creating escalations, working with other departments and brands within the portfolio, hosting product demos for potential customers, and working on personal or assigned projects. You will frequently troubleshoot technical issues, debug errors, assist with Shopify app installations, and use developer tools to support customers.
This role is fully remote, and candidates must be based in Brazil or Mexico. You should have a reliable internet connection and a workspace that allows you to collaborate effectively with teams across different time zones.
