JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Technical Support Specialist (L1/L2) to become the first point of contact for FCE clients and bridge customer issues with Product, Engineering, and Compliance teams.

The key objective of the role is to resolve customer issues quickly, identify technical problems, and turn complex cases into clear, actionable tickets for engineers.

You will work directly with customers through Intercom and email, supporting them across the full client journey - from registration and KYC to deposits, trading, and withdrawals.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Handle L1/L2 customer requests via Intercom and email, maintaining SLA and high-quality communication.

Troubleshoot issues across KYC, fiat transfers, crypto deposits/withdrawals, OTC trades and account access.

Analyze admin-panel statuses and logs to identify whether an issue is related to the client, platform, or external provider.

Create clear, reproducible bug reports in Linear with steps, environment details, screenshots, and relevant evidence.

Coordinate complex cases with Engineering, Product, and Compliance.

Support clients during the migration from Crassula to FinCore, including increased support volume during the cutover period.

Follow compliance and data-protection procedures, including customer verification and account-recovery processes.

Maintain and improve support macros, FAQs, and knowledge-base content.

Use AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude for response drafting, log analysis, knowledge-base maintenance, and initial ticket classification.

QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS

2+ years of experience in customer or technical support for a fintech, crypto, exchange, broker, neobank, or payment product.

Strong understanding of the customer lifecycle: registration → KYC → deposit → exchange → withdrawal.

Practical crypto knowledge: ERC-20, TRC-20, BTC networks and addresses, transaction confirmations, network fees, wrong-network transfers, and transaction statuses.

Understanding of fiat payments, including bank transfers, IBAN, rejected payments, and settlement timelines.

Strong technical troubleshooting skills and ability to read logs and admin-panel statuses.

Experience with Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, or similar support platforms.

Experience managing queues, tags, macros, SLAs, email support, and knowledge bases.

Ability to write structured, reproducible technical tickets for engineers.

Strong English - written communication is essential.
