- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather product information and develop new support content that meets customer needs.
- Contribute to technical and strategic initiatives, including Help Center coding (JavaScript, HTML, CSS), SEO optimization, data analysis, chatbot flows, and industry research.
- Identify content gaps, implement process improvements, and own projects that enhance the Help Center and overall customer experience.
What We’re Looking For:
- Degree in Communications, Writing, Media, Computer Science, Engineering or similar degrees
- Technical experience with SaaS and/or Hardware products
- Experience with Google product suite (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, etc)

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
