About the Role

As a Technical Support Analyst, you will work with the Engineering, Operations, and Support Teams to help our customers have a seamless and enjoyable experience with our company -- from ordering a Tovala Smart Oven, to cooking a delicious Tovala Meal in their home, educating and troubleshooting anything in between. You will triage, assess, fix, or escalate technical platform issues from customer inquiries and ensure they are addressed in a timely, appropriate, and accurate manner. You will also provide vital insights to the engineering, product, and operations team to help improve our products and services. You will work heavily with the Engineering Team to understand how the technology at Tovala works and work closely with them to resolve customer issues big and small.

We continue to shape our service and build our brand, and customer support is an essential piece of that. As a Technical Support Analyst, you will have the option of working remotely and also the chance to come into the office to collaborate with the team. You will provide support during typical M-F business hours, but may also be needed on the occasional evening or weekend. (Note: During Covid-19, this role has transitioned entirely to a remote, online position, including training. We hope, when appropriate, to move back to the optional remote position, but for the foreseeable future this position will remain entirely remote.)
