Hi, we're The Browser Company 👋 and we're building a better way to use the internet.
Browsers are unique in that they are one of the only pieces of software that you share with your parents as well as your kids. Which makes sense, they're our doorway to the most important things — through them we socialize with loved ones, work on our passion projects, and explore our curiosities. But on their own, they don’t actually do a whole lot, they’re kind of just there. They don’t help us organize our messy lives or make it easier to compose our ideas. We believe that the browser could do so much more — it can empower and support the amazing things we do on the internet. That’s why we’re building one: a browser that can help us grow, create, and stay curious.
To accomplish this lofty task, we’re building a diverse team of people from different backgrounds and experiences. This isn’t optional, it’s crucial to our mission, as we need a wide range of perspectives to challenge our assumptions and shape our browser through a bold, creative lens. With that in mind, we especially encourage women, people of color, and others from historically marginalized groups to apply.

About The Role

As a Technical Product Specialist (contract) at The Browser Company, you’ll help us deliver a seamless, high-quality experience for our members by surfacing and resolving the most important technical issues. Working closely with the Membership, Engineering, and QA teams, you’ll triage technical problems, escalate launch-blocking bugs, and ensure our software meets the high standards expected by hundreds of thousands of users. Your expertise will directly contribute to making Dia more stable and delightful for our community.

Overall you will…
  • Lead technical issue triage, moving issues from “speculative” to “real” and partner with engineers to resolve urgent tickets and incidents.

  • Write clear, actionable bug reports with thorough repro steps to accelerate engineering resolution for member-reported issues.

  • Test pre-release features to ensure quality and escalate any launch-blocking problems

  • Drive high-priority issues to resolution through strong collaboration with Membership, Engineering, and QA. You’ll ensure seamless communication and alignment between teams being the bridge between Membership and Engineering.

  • Continuously improve internal processes that push the team toward faster, smoother issue resolution while maintaining a high bar for interactions with Members. Share thought processes, knowledge and experience with the Membership team.

  • Provide technical insights and support for escalated cases, leveraging coding and browser technology knowledge. Work closely with the Membership team on escalations, providing troubleshooting and information gathering guidance on cases.

Qualifications
  • 4+ years in a technical support or product specialist role, ideally focused on MacOS and troubleshooting desktop applications.

  • Strong understanding of software development processes; coding/scripting experience is a plus

  • Proven ability to triage, investigate, escalate, and resolve technical issues, working closely with engineering, QA, and support teams.

  • Expert troubleshooter, skilled at diagnosing complex technical issues and is technically curious when investigating bugs/regressions to go deeper in understanding the root causes.

  • Experience analyzing system logs, console logs, crash dumps and performance metrics to identify and resolve issues; familiarity with tools we use like Zendesk, Slack, Linear, Datadog, Postman, Github, Notion, Sentry or Charles Proxy is a plus.

  • You’re pragmatic, motivated by nebulous problems, and excited to work in a startup environment with quick product validation cycles.

  • We’re primarily focused on hiring in North American time zones and require that folks have 4+ hours of overlap time with team members in Eastern Time Zone.

Compensation

This is a full-time independent contractor (1099) position. Compensation for this role is $43–$58 /hr dependent on experience.

The Browser Company is a well-funded, ambitious startup of close to 100 people (and growing!) who are passionate about building great products. We are a remote-first, distributed team, with the option to work from office in Brooklyn, New York. We strongly support diversity and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
