Founded in 2016, Rhombus is on a mission to make the world a safer place with an intelligent platform that combines cameras, sensors, and AI analytics to help organizations improve safety and operations at scale.

About You

As a Technical Support Engineer, you will develop solutions to customer specifications, provide hands‑on support, and collaborate with Sales, Engineering, and Product teams to deliver systems that truly meet customer needs.

What You’ll Do

• Implement new feature requests for customers by configuring cameras, sensors, and access‑control hardware.
• Collaborate with clients and the Rhombus Engineering team to resolve product or system issues, including network connectivity, firmware, and integrations.
• Provide regular issue and trend reporting to help internal teams understand recurring customer challenges and drive product improvements.
• Analyze support processes and recommend strategies to reduce common issues, improve installation success rates, and streamline customer onboarding.
• Troubleshoot system and customer issues to validate product or service defects by reproducing behavior to isolate root causes.
• Support new product launches by tracking early bugs and providing detailed feedback to Product Management.
• Develop support‑tracking metrics to demonstrate common customer challenges and strengthen feedback loops between internal teams.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of technical or IT support experience, ideally with hardware, IoT, or security products.
• Experience with ticketing systems (e.g., Zendesk) and managing a high volume of technical inquiries.
• Previous experience working with or supporting SaaS products, especially with device‑management platforms.
• Comfortable learning new tools and configuring cloud‑managed devices or systems.
• Strong networking fundamentals: VLANs, PoE, firewall rules, and basic troubleshooting.
• Excellent communication skills with customers via phone, email, and remote support.
• Familiarity with access‑control is preferred — door controllers, readers, wiring, relays, and basic locking device behavior.
• Knowledge of RESTful web services (Postman) for debugging or automation tasks.
• Experience with Python, HTML/JavaScript is a plus.

What We Value

• Customers Come First: We’re obsessed with improving our users’ lives and constantly question how we can improve upon what already exists.
• One Team: Innovation in the physical‑security industry can’t be accomplished by a single person; we collaborate with exceptional individuals to inspire our best work.
• Think Greater: We believe the best ideas can come from anywhere and strive to create an open environment where individuals can contribute and make an impact.
• Act with Integrity: Honest communication is key to success. We conduct business the way it should be — with high ethical standards and to do what’s right.
