The Opportunity

* Communicating with customers via live chat or email, and resolving any problems they may have in a timely and professional manner
* Continuously learning about the features of our app and the broader Shopify ecosystem to better understand our customers' needs and provide more effective support
* Summarizing product feedback from merchants and suggesting new ways to improve our product
* Completing non-CS related tasks, such as researching tools, writing blog posts, and creating mockups, based on your natural abilities and interests

* Proficiency in discussing technical concepts at a high level, with a willingness to learn more about CSS, JS, and other technical topics as needed
* The ability to write technical documentation and articles, with a willingness to learn more about content creation and marketing
* A willingness to perform non-CS related tasks, as we're a small startup and everyone wears multiple hats
* A minimum of 4 hours of overlap with GMT+7 (9am-6pm) to ensure seamless communication with our global team
Nice to Have
While not essential, the following qualifications would be a bonus:
* Experience working with Shopify, especially in theme development or customization
