Customer Support

HotplateSan Francisco, CA

About The Position

As the second member of Hotplate's support team, you will be charged with tackling tickets and helping to build out our support systems as we grow from 5,000 to 50,000 chefs. You are the person that chefs will talk to when it matters most, and you both enjoy and are energized by turning around a chef's experience when something goes wrong. You'll proactively tackle tickets over phone, SMS, and email, while still thinking about how you scale yourself and Hotplate's support functions. That could look like building out macros and documentation, leveraging AI tools to help you move faster, or even thinking about how the product can be improved to better support our chefs.

Requirements

  • 6 months of customer support experience in tech, ideally early to midstage startup.
  • Strong customer obsession and excitement to help small business owners succeed.
  • Comfort with technical troubleshooting, and the ability to clearly explain product behavior to both customers and internal teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication across email, SMS, and phone.
  • Experience with support tools like Intercom, Zendesk, Front, or similar.
  • Experience using AI tools in your work, whether for drafting, summarizing, researching, or improving your own workflows.
  • Strong judgment, ownership, and follow-through: you prioritize well, stay calm under pressure, and make customers feel taken care of.
