Are you the type of person who loves to help people solve problems with exceptional attention to detail? Are you a positive person who communicates well in writing and seeks to understand? Do you have experience in working on or building websites?

MODX is looking for a remote Technical Support Specialist to join our growing team. We help growing businesses all over the world succeed with a better website platform that’s especially well suited for our open-source CMS, MODX Revolution. We’re a fully remote organization and have been for more than a decade. Our customers are at the core of our business and we take every opportunity to help them win. As such, we are growing and taking on new challenges every day.

We’re currently seeking someone to cover our North American support hours from 10 AM to 6 PM US Central Time. You’re welcome to apply if this is not your daytime, however, this position requires your full attention during these hours. We’re incredibly proud of the work we do to help our customers—here are some recent examples of what they say about our support team:

“MODX support always goes over and above the expected whenever I need help. Probably the best support I have come across in my 25-year IT career.” Kevin Spice, Dawsongroup, Plc.

“Quick response, professional advise & helpful suggestions to get the issue resolved!” Cynthia Blackburn, Blackburn Photography.

“The help we received was above and beyond. Very specific to our issues, very thorough, and expert. Thank you so much!” Melanie Knapp, George Mason University.

Other responsibilities and activities of this role as you progress:

We work remotely and embrace Slack, video conferencing, and asynchronous communication to foster positive working relationships with our colleagues around the globe. We also highly recommend pants.

We work in small, highly effective teams, and every person is vital to the success of MODX. Our company is made of thoughtful, creative, problem-solvers who love their craft. We think surrounding ourselves with self-managed people who consistently do good work and positively inspire their co-workers is the greatest work environment. We believe in work-life balance, too.

At MODX, you will have many opportunities to not only do great work but also to impact the company and the team. You will not only improve our products and customer experiences, but you’ll also have a voice in shaping the company culture.

We offer above-average competitive pay and benefits based on your location. Folks in the US are hired as full-time W-2 employees and international team members are engaged as full-time contractors. Everyone who works at MODX has opportunities for professional development, and the ability to impact a growing team. MODX is still small enough that your actions will help drive our success.

Email the address below your cover letter and a PDF copy of your CV/Résumé. Use the subject line: “<First Name> is Your Next MODX Support Specialist”.

We will collect and review applications over the next few weeks. For applicants that look like they’d be exceptional team members, we will have you take some assessments (like personality/culture fit and English proficiency). Depending on those results, we’ll ask that you send us a 90-second video introducing yourself about a time you were involved with a great customer experience. After that, then Zoom interviews will happen for the top applicants.

Initial training for this role typically takes ~6 weeks depending on your past experience, after which time we expect you to be actively working with customers and helping them succeed. As you gain experience and proficiency in this role, you will have the opportunity to become a support leader, with higher compensation, or possibly to move into another role within MODX.

The mission of MODX is to create the best tools for growing organizations to build and maintain amazing, secure, high-performance websites that crush SEO and conversion. We think it’s important to make exceptionally powerful and flexible solutions that are affordable for everyone, not just large enterprises. We call this our “fortuneless 5-million” mostly in the SMB and mid-market space.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value respect, trust, collaboration, and fun. Diverse experiences, backgrounds, viewpoints, and outlooks on life are celebrated and respected—this is a place where everybody belongs.
