About the Role

We’re looking for a patient, detail-oriented full-time Help Desk Specialist to be the first point of contact for end users of our software and grow into leading our support function as it scales. You’ll start hands-on: triaging and resolving 1st-level issues, routing what you can’t fix to the right team, and building the self-service content that keeps repeat questions from piling up. This is a brand-new function at Collaboration.Ai, so you’ll have real influence over how support is run as we grow it — the tools, the process, and the standards. Because much of our work touches government customers, this role also carries real responsibility for handling customer data and access carefully and securely.

This is a remote, work from home position. Preferred candidates are located in Eastern Standard Time. 

What You’ll Do

1st-Level Support

  • Provide 1st level support to end users of our software over the channels we agree on, mostly email.
  • Log, triage, and track issues in HubSpot, creating clear internal tickets so the right team picks them up quickly.

Ticketing, Tools & Workflow

  • Own day-to-day use of HubSpot for ticketing and customer email correspondence.
  • Create and track Jira tickets to hand off issues that need engineering, written clearly enough that engineering can act without a lot of back-and-forth.
  • Maintain our Confluence space as the source of truth for support process documentation.

Knowledge Base & Self-Service

  • Build and maintain self-service material for our help center: articles, FAQs, short how-to guides that cut repeat questions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with our product, engineering, and customer success teams to escalate what you can’t resolve and feed back what customers keep asking about.

Security & Data Handling

  • Handle customer data and access carefully, following security and privacy practices appropriate to a government context.

Process & Function Building

  • Help define the support process itself as the function grows.

What We’re Looking For

Required

  • 5-6 years in a help desk, IT support, or SaaS/technical support role.
  • U.S. citizenship required due to Federal Contract Requirements.
  • Familiarity with HubSpot (or a similar ticketing/CRM platform), Jira (or a similar engineering issue tracker), and Confluence (or a similar wiki/knowledge base tool).
  • Clear written and spoken English — able to explain a technical fix to a non-technical person without making them feel small.
  • Comfortable with ticketing systems and a habit of documenting as you go.
  • Based on the U.S. East Coast, able to work East Coast business hours.
  • Strong communication skills, adjusting tone to whoever you’re helping.
  • Patience: repeat questions and frustrated users don’t rattle you.
  • Problem-solving: you dig for the root cause instead of just closing the ticket.
  • Security awareness: you understand why careful handling of access and data matters, especially for government customers.

Preferred

  • Hands-on experience specifically with HubSpot Service Hub, Jira, or Confluence (rather than just equivalent tools).
  • Experience supporting software used by public-sector or government customers.
  • Familiarity with writing knowledge base or help center content.

What We Offer

  • The chance to shape a brand-new function from day one, with real influence over tools and process.
  • Work that matters. We build AI-powered solutions for defense, public sector, and regulated industries — SOC 2 and NIST compliance, FedRAMP readiness, and customers whose missions demand the most trustworthy software.
  • AI-native by default. We build with AI, not just for AI. Agentic coding tools (Claude Code/Codex/etc.), agent SDKs and harnesses, MCP servers, and Agent Skills standards are how we work daily. You’ll push the boundaries of what AI tooling can do across the full stack.
  • Real ownership. High-autonomy culture. You’ll own outcomes end-to-end — and your work will be seen, used, and valued.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
