- Communicating with leads/customers using our helpdesk (tickets, email, live chat, phone) to resolve technical issues and answer technical inquiries.
- Help customers install software on their own machines (Linux and Windows) and suggest improvements to our installer systems.
- Verify fixes and collaborate with the dev team on regressions and improvements. Take charge of ensuring the resolution of any issues.
- Manage the testing of our VMs, installers, integrations, updates etc.
