Hours: 7am-4pm / 8am-5pm / 9am-6pm US CT

About This Opportunity

SSL is seeking ambitious customer support professionals who view a Tier 1 role as a launchpad, not a landing spot. This is a growth-oriented position designed for individuals who want to rapidly develop expertise in PKI, cybersecurity, and digital trust solutions.

If you're eager to master complex technical concepts, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are committed to becoming a subject matter expert in SSL/TLS certificates and digital security, this role offers the mentorship, training, and clear progression path you're looking for.

Role Details

Employment Type: Independent Contractor

Location: Remote (must have reliable, high-speed internet with backup connectivity)

Schedule Flexibility Required: We're hiring for 7am-4pm / 8am-5pm / 9am-6pm US CT

What You'll Do

Customer Interaction & Problem Resolution

Serve as the first point of contact via chat, email, and video conferencing, delivering expert, courteous support across SSL's product portfolio

Provide step-by-step guidance for SSL/TLS certificates (DV, OV, EV), code signing certificates (standard and EV), document signing certificates, S/MIME email certificates, C2PA content credentials, and client authentication certificates

Diagnose and resolve technical issues including installation across web servers (Apache, Nginx, IIS), validation challenges, CSR generation, certificate deployment, and account management

Guide customers through the complete certificate lifecycle: application, domain/organization validation, issuance, installation, renewal, and revocation

Technical Documentation & Collaboration

Use Intercom (our ticketing platform) to meticulously document all interactions, troubleshooting steps, and resolutions

Escalate complex issues to Tier 2 with comprehensive case notes that prevent duplicate effort and accelerate resolution

Collaborate with validation, operations, and development teams to resolve cross-functional issues

Contribute to our knowledge base by identifying gaps and drafting clear, technical FAQs and troubleshooting guides

Continuous Learning & Skill Development (This is where you separate yourself from candidates just looking for any support job)

Proactively master SSL 's expanding product portfolio and stay current with PKI industry standards

Develop deep technical knowledge of networking fundamentals (DNS, HTTPS, TLS protocols, certificate chains, firewalls, port configurations)

Build expertise in public key infrastructure concepts: certificate authorities, validation types, trust chains, revocation (CRL/OCSP), cryptographic algorithms

Participate actively in training sessions, team meetings, and feedback discussions, applying insights to improve your performance

Quality & Performance Excellence

Maintain professional, empathetic communication that adapts to technical and non-technical audiences

Follow SLAs and best practices for ticket handling, prioritization, and resolution confirmation

Contribute customer feedback and identify recurring technical challenges that drive process improvements

Demonstrate problem-solving initiative and analytical thinking before escalating issues

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

Growth mindset: You're intellectually curious, embrace challenges, and see feedback as fuel for improvement

Technical aptitude: Comfortable learning complex technical concepts; prior experience with web technologies, DNS, or basic networking is a plus

Communication excellence: Outstanding written and verbal skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly

Schedule flexibility: Available for EU/Asia or Americas/EU shift coverage

Self-motivation: Thrives in remote environments with minimal supervision

Customer-first attitude: Patient, adaptable, and genuinely invested in customer success

Ideal Candidate Profile

2-3 years customer support experience, preferably in SaaS, cybersecurity, or technical environments

Familiarity with SSL/TLS certificates, PKI, or information security concepts

Experience with ticketing systems (Intercom, Zendesk, etc.)

Basic understanding of web servers, certificate installation, or system administration

Passion for cybersecurity and digital trust technologies

Track record of exceeding performance metrics and receiving positive customer feedback

Bonus Points

Exposure to code signing, document signing, or digital certificate technologies

Understanding of C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) or content authentication

Experience supporting B2B/enterprise customers

Multilingual capabilities

We're looking for someone who sees this role as the beginning of a cybersecurity career, not just another support job.
