About Securly

Securly is the K–12 market leader in AI-powered student safety and wellness solutions, protecting more than 20 million students across 20,000+ schools. Our mission is to create safer, more supportive learning environments by detecting potential harm, supporting student mental health, and empowering educators with actionable insights that help students thrive.

By turning data into meaningful, actionable intelligence, Securly enables schools to identify risk earlier, reduce harmful incidents, and strengthen student support—driving measurable improvements in safety and wellbeing. We are proud to be recognized as a Top Place to Work, a Top 40 Most Used EdTech, and one of the 150 most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills, as recognized by GSV.

Role Overview

As a Technical Support Specialist, you are the frontline support partner for schools using Securly’s platform. You support both technical and non-technical users—primarily K–12 IT administrators, educators, and school staff—via phone, chat, email, and web-based support requests.

This role blends world-class customer service with technical problem-solving. You own customer issues end-to-end, from initial intake through final resolution or escalation, ensuring customers are never dropped between handoffs. You independently resolve Common and more complex issues, progressively build product expertise across assigned solutions, and escalate complex cases with clear, decision-ready documentation.

Success in this role is measured by resolution quality, customer satisfaction, operational reliability, and continuous learning—not just ticket volume.

Securly embarked on its journey in 2013, born from the vision of two network security veterans, Vinay Mahadik and Bharath Madhusudan, who collectively possessed over two decades of experience in the security realm. What began as a focused mission to provide cloud-based web filtering for K-12 schools soon blossomed into a comprehensive student safety platform. The company recognized the evolving digital landscape and the inherent risks and opportunities it presented to young learners. This understanding fueled their drive to create solutions that not only protected students online but also fostered a positive and productive digital environment.

Over the years, Securly has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in the EdTech space. They pioneered the use of artificial intelligence and sentiment analysis to detect signs of cyberbullying, self-harm, and violence, moving beyond simple content filtering to a more nuanced understanding of student well-being. This commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to address critical student safety concerns has been a hallmark of their growth. The company expanded its offerings to include tools for classroom management, parental engagement, and 24/7 monitoring by trained safety experts, creating an end-to-end solution for schools. This holistic approach, which they term '360 Cloud', aims to keep students safe, secure, and productive across all devices and locations. Securly's dedication to its mission has resonated within the education community, leading to its adoption by thousands of schools and the protection of millions of students globally.
