Our main customers are analysts and data teams in Mexico and Colombia.
In this role, you will become the first point of contact for the platform’s internal users and take ownership of identifying, initiating, and implementing automation improvements.

- Responding to and investigating user questions in the team’s Slack channels, including data load statuses and delays, routing requests for new source connections, handling access requests, and troubleshooting common platform errors
- Contributing to the automation of the team’s on-call processes, including routing and processing incoming requests and collecting and analysing statistics on incidents, user questions, and common issues
- Turning resolved cases and frequently asked questions into structured documentation
- Creating and maintaining user guides, FAQs, and internal runbooks

- Strong written communication skills and the ability to provide clear, calm, and structured answers to users
- Ability to handle routine technical operations, including access requests, standard configuration tasks, and running predefined scripts
- A proactive, independent, and structured approach to troubleshooting: you can clarify unclear requests, involve the right team members when needed, resolve or redirect issues, and document the outcome
- B1 or higher English level for effective communication with international users and team members
Nice to have:
- Experience with Jira, Confluence, Git, or Slack workflows
- Experience with the Onyx AI platform or similar knowledge management tools
