Copy of Customer Support Specialist

About us

Relay is a cross-chain payments protocol that provides instant, low-cost cross-chain bridging, swaps, and transactions. We're the fastest and cheapest way to bridge and transact across chains, serving over 5 million users who have completed 59+ million transactions with $6+ billion in volume across 85+ chains.

About the role

Relay's integrator base has roughly doubled in the last six months, and we're looking for Customer Support Specialists to help triage tickets, investigate issues, answer questions, and turn everyday support work into better systems for our customers and our team.

What you'll do

Own front-line support in specific time zone hours

• Provide reliable overlap with our existing support team for incoming customer issues during your time zone working hours. Right now we focusing on specialists who are in UTC-1 through UTC+4 timezones in Africa or Europe. (If you do not live within these time zones you are welcome to apply, but please note that you must be willing and able to work full-time in either of these.) This role includes weekend coverage and will be a Saturday to Wednesday schedule.

Triage and debug customer issues

• Respond to customer tickets with clarity and care, handling the ones you can resolve directly

• Investigate issues using Relay's backend logs, transaction records, and block explorers

• Build fluency with on-chain transaction flows for end users and integrators

• Escalate the right issues to engineering with enough context for them to move quickly

• Take on an increasing share of ticket volume and ownership so the team's capacity keeps pace with integrator growth

Translate support work into better systems

• Turn recurring customer issues into process improvements, internal documentation, and feedback for product and engineering

• Communicate technical context at the right level for customers and internal stakeholders

• Contribute to long-term project work such as automation, documentation, and self-serve tooling in the developer portal

• Build depth over time on Relay's protocol, integrations, and customer base

• You have a keen eye for detail and notice the little things
