We look for people who are dedicated to enhancing the customer service experience for everyone involved, as it's the core of what we do. We're growing our business with no plans of slowing down. We actively seek individuals who want to learn and be challenged every day.

We believe in togetherness to help foster strong relationships, collaboration and communication, and our Krew gets together for both KKO and Kamp Kustomer each year.
About the Role
The Kustomer TechOps team is a little different — and we like it that way. We’re not just here to fix things (though we’re great at that, too); we own much of Kustomer’s internal tech stack, help connect and streamline systems, and work closely with teams across the company to automate and improve the way our Krew works. Whether it’s solving a problem, rolling out a new tool, or proactively building self-service solutions, we make tech easier, smarter, and more empowering for the Krew.
Eventually you'll have the freedom to explore beyond your lane — whether that means prototyping internal tools such as the Kustomer app, contributing to cross-functional projects, or diving into new technologies. We believe the best ideas come from curiosity, not job titles. If you’re someone who enjoys solving problems no matter how difficult, wants to own tools and processes, and wants to work at the intersection of support, systems, and strategy — you’ll thrive here.
