  • Typing speed of 40+ WPM (able to pass a typing speed test)
  • Comfortable handling high-volume support queues with multiple concurrent tickets
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to resolve issues end-to-end
  • Calm under pressure with strong problem-solving ability
  • Reliable, punctual, and consistent with attendance and comfortable working evening or overnight shifts aligned to U.S. hours
  • Experience with service management tools like Zendesk, Jira Service Management, or ServiceNow
  • Familiarity with websites, web applications, and mobile apps; API knowledge is a plus
  • A true team player who collaborates well and contributes proactively
  • A strong reference from your last manager demonstrating your ability to perform at KPIs and a record of strong attendance
