We use cutting-edge AI to match experts to paid opportunities at scale, from AI model training, investment research to full-time roles. We now pay out more than $1M/day to experts globally.

The role

We're looking for a Customer Support Associate to be the first point of contact for our experts, the specialists whose work helps leading AI labs and other frontier clients build better models. You'll own their support cases from first message to final fix, and make sure every expert who gets in touch leaves with their problem solved and their trust in us intact. You'll work closely with teams across the business to get to the bottom of each issue. You'll work with our AI agent to draft the first reply, making sure it's accurate, complete and sound like it comes from a person who cares. How experts feel about working with us depends on you.

This is a high volume inbox and cases come in quickly. Some are quick fixes, and some are tricky ones like a paused account or a disputed payment. We need someone who enjoys getting stuck in. You won't pass problems on; you'll chase them down, know when to escalate and to whom, and spot the patterns that point to a bigger fix.

What you'll do

Own and resolve expert support cases from first message to final fix

Not just replying to emails, but working with other internal teams to resolve cases, knowing when to escalate and to whom

Review and refine AI-drafted replies before they go out, making sure every response is accurate, complete and written in a warm, human tone

Spot recurring issues in the inbox, flag the root cause to the right team

Who you are

You've resolved complex customer issues at scale, for example in complex case handling or billing resolution

A natural investigator: you connect with who you need to to be able to resolve a case

Proactive and independent: you take initiative, and can be handed something urgent and just get it done

A warm, clear writer who can give difficult news, such as a paused account or a disputed payment, with empathy

Exceptional attention to detail

Comfortable with pace and ambiguity in a fast-moving tech startup, and happy to ask rather than guess

Curious about technology and quick to learn new tools - technical skills are a plus
