What's the opportunity?

The Technical Support Engineer team is looking for an individual with engineering and or web development experience that wants to be a part of creating truly exceptional customer experiences as well as educating and supporting our customers on a global level. This is a very hands-on, technical role, that is much broader than a typical ticket-based support position.

This opportunity is for folks who truly love problem-solving and troubleshooting, with the end goal of empowering our customers’ to reach their objectives and address any challenges with our product. This is not a springboard into other areas or jobs at Fin, but this is a great role for those who are looking to be part of our support team for a while and who are excited about growing alongside Fin. We also want people that have an eye for improvement and efficiency, someone who wants to work at a place where they’re encouraged to bring ideas and feedback to the table on how things could be better for our team and/or our customers.

This position will be hybrid with the expectation to work from the office 3 days a week and work from home the remaining 2 days of the week. You are welcome to work from the office full-time if that is preferred.
