Support Tech WORLDWIDE SUPPORT FULL-TIME Who we are npm is the world’s largest software repository, with more than 10 million users. Their use-cases are incredibly diverse: from systems administrators writing automation tools, to hobbyists building robots, to back-end engineers building mobile app APIs, to millions of front-end developers. Our mission at npm is to reduce developer friction. We do it by building tools that make JavaScript developers’ lives easier, by maintaining a registry with fantastic uptime, and by answering the tweets, emails, and posts at npm.community that our users send us every day. npm has been successful because we care about our users. “npm loves you” is not just marketing; it’s a core company value. Users frequently report our responsive and friendly support team as a key reason why they love our products. What you’ll do The right people for this job combine empathy and communication skills with a passion for solving technical problems. Experience with Open Source and customer service are beneficial, but not required. Much more critical is a friendly, positive attitude and finding joy in helping people. You will be the first line of support, fielding common questions, building up FAQs, on-boarding new customers, and solving the unusual or complicated cases yourself, with the help of the support and engineering team. By directly helping our users and customers, and interacting with every member of the npm team, you’ll gain the kind of cross-company insight that is so valuable to a career in technology. Our code of conduct Sometimes, this job is hard, because people frustrated by technical problems are not always polite. You’ll be helping to keep the npm community a safe and friendly place, with the technical and emotional support of the entire company, and the gratitude of millions of developers who participate in the npm ecosystem. We believe that our mission is best served in an environment that is friendly, safe, and accepting; free from intimidation or harassment. We do not tolerate abusive behavior.
