Apify is a web scraping and browser automation platform - with the mission to help anyone get more value from the web - so that they can focus on what matters.Thousands of developers worldwide build and run web scrapers using our cloud. Many developers later publish and monetize their tools on Apify Store. Solopreneurs, startups, and Fortune 500 companies all use Apify to extract data from billions of web pages and automate millions of manual tasks every month.To support this mission, Apify is looking for a Night Shift Support Engineer to handle customer inquiries from 5 PM to 2 AM CET. You'll solve both business and technical issues via chat and email, while mastering our web scraping platform. If you have programming knowledge, strong communication skills, and prefer evening hours, join our team in Prague, Brno, or remotely in Czech republic.What you'll be working on:Our Support team processes customer questions and other internal notifications every day. Besides Apify Console, our main tools are Intercom for external tickets and Slack for internal notifications and discussions.The conversations cover a wide range of both business and technical topics, for example:What we consider business:Choosing the right subscription planHelp with invoices and billingHelp to understand Apify featuresProcessing user compensationWhat we consider technical:Help with integrationsCoding help with Apify API/SDKHelp with Apify-maintained ActorsWhen our AI bot processes the external conversations, it divides them into different priorities based on various criteria. Our team then holds different SLAs based on the priority levels. Our main goals concern customer experience. It's namely the customer satisfaction and response timeliness. Apify's customers can be both businesses and end-users, but we're generally used to a B2C setup, with a larger volume of shorter engagements.From internal notifications, we have a set of topics that are challenging to automate because they need human insight, but need to be processed in a timely manner. They typically are related to processing certain billing issues or preventing fraudsters from exploiting the platform.We always provide only written support, either via chat or email. Our Support team doesn't provide phone support or on-site visits.Besides providing support, we also get our feet wet with other projects. For example, we're really into automation and simplification of processes, AI in Support, building knowledge in Help Center, and also expanding our technical insights.As Apify grows, we'd like to expand to cover American timezones. At the same time, we'd like to keep our multicultural and multilingual but Czech-based culture. That's why we're looking for a night owl. The office time will typically be from 5 PM to 2 AM CET on workdays. You can do that from one of our offices in Prague, Brno, or fully remotely.
