About Sitebulb

Sitebulb is an award‑winning SEO auditing tool trusted by thousands of professionals across the world. We’re a small, agile, and passionate team who believe that hard work, curiosity, and continuous self‑improvement lead to extraordinary results. Our mission is to help SEOs and digital marketers make better technical decisions with data‑driven insights.

As our customer base grows, we’re expanding our support function to strengthen how we triage, investigate, and resolve technical issues quickly and effectively. We’re looking for someone who thrives on problem‑solving, loves diving into technical details, and is passionate about providing world‑class customer support.

Role overview

This is a hands‑on technical support role providing support to Sitebulb customers. You’ll handle incoming issues from the support queue, diagnose and resolve straightforward problems, and reproduce and investigate more complex cases. Where issues are systemic or require code changes, you’ll escalate to the development team with high‑quality evidence, then stay involved through verification and customer communication.

You’ll also spot recurring trends, improve documentation, and capture knowledge so more customers can self‑serve. Over time, you’ll become an expert in Sitebulb’s platform and common technical SEO use‑cases.

Key responsibilities

  • Front‑line triage: Be the first point of contact via email, chat, or ticketing. Diagnose and resolve straightforward queries (licensing, billing, account, basic “how do I…?”) with clear steps and links to self‑serve content.
  • Deep investigation: Reproduce customer‑reported issues in controlled environments; analyse logs; isolate root causes (website vs. product) before escalation.
  • Evidence‑rich bugs: Create clear Jira tickets with: customer summary, steps to reproduce, environment details (OS/version, app version, proxies/VPN, project settings), expected vs. actual, screenshots/logs, and initial hypothesis.
  • Fix verification: Partner with developers to validate fixes, run targeted regression checks, and close the loop with the customer (plain‑English explanation and next steps).
  • Documentation & deflection: Create/maintain help articles, troubleshooting trees, and macros; measure impact on deflection and repeat‑contact rates.
  • Pattern reporting: Track recurring themes and edge cases; brief Product/Engineering on volume, severity, and proposed mitigations (doc change, UX tweak, or bug).
  • Release support & QA: Smoke‑test new builds; exercise high‑risk areas and top customer workflows; flag regressions early.
  • Voice of customer: Represent customer pain points internally; propose pragmatic fixes (copy, validation, in‑product tips) alongside bug reports.

Tech you will touch

  • Helpdesk & issue tracking: Intercom, Jira
  • Diagnostics: Grafana (internal logs/monitoring), browser DevTools, Google Analytics and Google Search Console
  • Collaboration: Slack, Confluence, Dropbox, Google Drive, internal dashboards

Required skills & experience

  • Working knowledge of HTML and JavaScript. Experience of using Chrome DevTools (will be used to explore page rendering issues and diagnose problems).
  • Strong problem‑solving and analytical approach; comfortable reproducing issues and isolating variables.
  • Excellent written communication - you will need to communicate complex issues to non-technical users: concise, structured tickets and clear customer updates.
  • Self‑motivated, organised, able to manage multiple threads and prioritise under time pressure.
  • Nice to have: proven experience in technical support / customer support engineering / IT helpdesk for a SaaS or software product.
  • Nice to have: knowledge of or interest in SEO/technical SEO (crawling, redirects, robots.txt, sitemaps, canonicalisation, JS rendering).
