Job description

At Framework, we believe the time has come for products that are designed to last. Founded in San Francisco in 2020, our mission is to remake Consumer Electronics to respect people and the planet.

We've started with two award-winning products, the Framework Laptop 13 and 16. Our laptops are thin, light, high-performance notebooks that can be upgraded, customized, and repaired in ways that no other notebook can. Alongside this, we've launched the Framework Marketplace to enable an ecosystem of parts and modules.

In 2025, we added two new products to our lineup: The Framework Laptop 12, a 2-in-1 convertible with a 12.2" touchscreen and stylus support, and our first non-laptop product, the highly customizable and powerful Framework Desktop, a compact system for gamers and ML enthusiasts.

We come from successful consumer electronics startups including the founding team of Oculus, and have closed multiple rounds of funding to fuel our roadmap. Even better (and maybe unusually for an early stage startup), we're in a financially healthy position going forward off of our product revenue. We care deeply about building a diverse and inclusive team, and we hope you do too!

The Position

We’re looking for a Community Escalations Specialist with community support expertise to help deliver an excellent experience for our growing customer base, managing and streamlining community escalations, end-to-end. This role has two primary areas of focus, first aiding our Escalation Support Specialist in providing responses and solutions to cases escalated past Tier 3, and secondly working alongside our Community Marketing Manager as a point of escalation for customer support issues arising in our community platforms online. This role involves providing “one to many” support responses in a public forum, as well as de-escalation and moderation of escalated customers.

This is a remote position open to anywhere within the US. #LI-Remote

What You'll Do

• Identify cases requiring escalation in our community platforms (Reddit, Discord, Discourse, etc) and follow these cases through to resolution.
• Communicate important updates to and act as point person supporting our volunteer moderators.
• Triage technical customer ticket escalations from our Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 BPO support teams alongside our Escalations Support Specialist.
• Proactively identify and escalate gaps in the customer experience.
• Provide the “Voice of the Customer” around trending technical issues to internal stakeholders through reporting shared on a regular cadence.
• Collaborate with e-commerce, supply chain, logistics, and engineering teams to deliver best-in-class consumer experiences.
• Help define our community support strategy and process flows as we continue to scale our efforts in Framework.

What You Need

• 3+ years of experience in technical support and escalation management.
• Experience providing support or moderation in a community setting.
• Technical proficiency in Windows and Linux Operating Systems.
• Hands-on experience building PCs from components and troubleshooting hardware/software issues.
• Proficiency in Jira or similar issue-tracking software.
• Proficiency in help desk or customer ticketing software systems (Zendesk, Jira Service Desk, Kustomer, etc.).
• Ability to quickly organize and prioritize issues based on severity and communicate findings cross-functionally in a clear and effective manner.
• A desire and ability to wear multiple hats in the early stages of a company, including taking on slices of project management and community support.
• Inventiveness, curiosity, and a passion for building and supporting products that people love.

What's Nice to Have

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in engineering, computer science, or another technical field.
• Previous experience in an early-stage startup.
• Interest in tinkering with consumer electronics to see how they function or to replace/repair faulty components.
• Familiarity with supporting international customer bases and working in multinational teams.

What You'll Love

• Competitive salary, equity, and health benefits
• Paid company holidays plus 20 PTO days per year
• Flexible work hours and locations, including every other Friday off!
• 401K with matching for US employees
• The chance to work at a startup that is making a positive social and environmental impact
