About the Role
Our healthcare platform handles member intake, provider consultations, prescription routing, pharmacy fulfilment, and shipment tracking in a single integrated system. When something does not work as expected, a member's treatment is delayed. The Technical Support (Application) agent is the first technical triage layer that stands between a confusing error and a clear, documented escalation.
What You'll Be Doing
First-Level Technical Triage
- Pick up support tickets flagged as technical issues by the CS team within SLA targets.
- Check member status in the admin portal – sync state, order status, treatment plan, payment history, and consultation log.
- Identify which stage of the member journey the issue is occurring: intake, payment, provider review, prescription transmission, pharmacy fulfilment, or shipment tracking.
- Classify payment errors: member-side card decline (guide member to update card – no Engineering escalation needed) vs. payment authentication failure (escalate to Senior Tech immediately – known platform gap).
- Check order state and confirm whether the current state matches the expected state at that point in the fulfilment journey.
- Look up shipment tracking using the carrier tracking reference from the order tracking view – confirm whether a delay is carrier-side or a platform integration issue.
Escalation to Senior Technical Support
- Attempt a single manual sync retry on lower-priority sync failures before escalating.
- When escalating, always include: member ID, support ticket reference, issue category, error message or sync state, relevant order or prescription ID, steps already tried, and your assessment of member impact.
- Escalate high-priority issues (member charged but no order created, all pharmacy transmissions failing, core authentication failure) to Senior Tech immediately – do not attempt troubleshooting first.
- Acknowledge high-priority alerts in the team channel promptly to signal you are investigating.
Documentation & Member Communication
- Document all diagnostic steps taken in the ticketing system before escalating or closing.
- Keep member communication clear and factual – do not overpromise on resolution timelines you cannot control (pharmacy dispatch, provider review SLA, Engineering fix timelines).
- Flag recurring issue patterns to the Senior Technical Support agent for potential SOP updates.
- Complete shift handoff notes before logging off – document all open tickets and any pending actions.
Platform Learning
- Build working knowledge of the admin portal – member search, treatment plan view, order detail, integration call logs, and payment history.
- Understand the escalation channel structure: team channel for general issues, vendor‑specific channels for partner escalations, and the Engineering channel for platform bugs.
- Stay current on known platform limitations and interim workarounds communicated by the Senior Technical Support team.
Common Issues You Will Triage
- Member cannot log in or is being routed to the wrong portal
- Order stuck in a pending or error state for longer than expected
- Payment failed at checkout – determining if it is a card decline or an authentication failure
- Intake form step not loading or failing on submission
- Prescription approved by provider but not received at the pharmacy
- Shipment tracking not updating in the platform or tracking integration
- Member frustrated by provider follow‑up requests (additional information, photo requirements)
- Refund or account credit not reflecting correctly in the member account
Skills You Should Have
- 1-3 years in technical support, application support, or a SaaS helpdesk environment.
- Able to read basic API error responses and data payloads – you do not write code but you need to understand what an error field or status code means.
- Experience with a support ticketing platform (Zendesk, Freshdesk, or similar).
- Clear, professional written communication in English.
- Able to follow step‑by‑step runbooks precisely and escalate correctly when steps are exhausted.
- Attention to detail – PHI handling errors in a healthcare platform have regulatory consequences.
- Availability for rotating 12‑hour shifts.
