Canals is a fully remote, profitable startup transforming the industrial supply chain ($10T industry) with AI. Our platform seamlessly integrates with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe. We’re a 70‑person team (~45 in engineering), located across North and South America.

We’re hiring a Technical Support Agent to help distributors get fast, effective support as they scale on Canals. Our customers rely on our platform for mission‑critical workflows — and maintaining a 1‑minute average response time is part of what sets our team apart. You’ll troubleshoot technical issues, guide users through our tools, and collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure a seamless customer experience.

You’ll also gain exposure to the systems that power our platform — working with tools like Zendesk, Postman, Full Story, and SQL to diagnose and resolve issues. If you’re a sharp communicator with strong technical instincts and love solving problems quickly and clearly, this role is for you.

• Respond to customer inquiries via live chat and email, maintaining our 1‑minute average first response time.
• Troubleshoot product and integration issues, escalating when needed to Support Engineers or Product.
• Use Postman to test API endpoints and SQL to run basic queries for debugging or validation.
• Investigate customer behavior and issues using Full Story session data.
• Collaborate closely with CSMs and the Solutions team to ensure smooth onboarding and post‑launch support.
• Document resolutions and update internal Zendesk macros and knowledge base articles.
• Identify recurring issues and propose process or product improvements.

• Typically 1–3 years of experience in technical support for a SaaS product.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you explain technical issues clearly and concisely.
• Ability to translate complex topics for non‑technical users.
• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable in a fast‑moving startup environment.
• A genuine sense of urgency — you take pride in speed and quality.

• Experience with Postman, Zendesk, or Full Story to diagnose and resolve issues.
• Experience in a startup or early‑stage environment and helped shape support processes or playbooks.
• Experience supporting non‑technical customers in industrial, logistics, or distribution contexts.
• Built or refined internal support workflows, macros, or dashboards.

• We’re profitable: stability without the chaos of venture pivots.
• Real‑world impact: your work improves global supply chains, saving customers time and reducing waste.
• Strong engineering culture: we invest in quality and documentation to keep moving fast sustainably.
• Culture of ownership: moving fast while putting quality first.
• Remote‑first, flexible work environment across North and South America.
• Stellar product‑market fit with tons of customer love.
• All‑star team with diverse backgrounds to collaborate with and learn from.
