We're hiring a Support Engineer to strengthen our customer support coverage as WP Umbrella scales. This is a hands-on, technical, customer-facing role focused on solving real problems, not just closing tickets.
You will be entrusted with the most important mission we have: making our users happy.
You'll work independently after onboarding, handle live conversations, troubleshoot WordPress and hosting issues, and own customer issues from first response to resolution or escalation.
We're a small and growing startup, which means your impact will be real and visible. You'll report directly to our Head of Support and work closely with Product and Engineering.
Working Hours
Typical working hours are 09:00-17:00 ET, Monday to Friday, working closely with our EU-based team through documented hand-offs and async communication. As a distributed team, we occasionally align across time zones. This includes one scheduled weekly team meeting held at 09:00 or 8:00 MET.
Your Mission
Your Hard & Soft Skills
Must-Have
WP Umbrella is the infrastructure for your WordPress care business.
We help freelancers and agencies manage and protect all their WordPress sites from one simple, reliable dashboard—without juggling tools or worrying about silent failures.
WP Umbrella is built for professionals who sell maintenance plans and need stability, clear client reporting, and long-term trust in their tools.
Our Values & Working Principles
Kindness, goodwill, collaboration, and ownership are at the core of how we work.
We care about the quality of your work, not about how many hours you sit at your desk. We encourage balance, autonomy, and long-term sustainability.
Our human philosophy can be summed up in Toltec's words of wisdom.
