• Document troubleshooting steps, known issues, and best practices to contribute to internal knowledge bases.
  
  
• Partner with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) and Enterprise Account Managers (EAMs) to ensure customer satisfaction and retention.
  
  
• Monitor trends, proactively flag emerging issues, and suggest product or process improvements.
  
  
• Participate in on-call rotations or special projects as needed to support enterprise uptime and availability.
  
  

What We’re Looking For: 

• 2- 3+ years in a technical support, systems engineering, or similar role, preferably supporting SaaS or IoT products.
  
  
• Strong troubleshooting skills in one or more of the following areas: Networking, APIs, Linux systems, mobile platforms (iOS/Android), or hardware devices.
  
  
• Experience working with enterprise customers and managing escalations with professionalism and urgency.
  
  
• Familiarity with tools such as Salesforce, Zendesk, Jira, Kibana, or equivalent CRM/log analysis platforms.
  
  
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to simplify technical concepts for non-technical users.
  
  
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with shifting priorities.
  
  
• Bonus: Knowledge of transportation, fleet management, telematics, or logistics operations.

Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
