Form of workOur Mission at Scythe
Humanity has lost touch with nature - we've traded dirt and trees for asphalt, and we rely on loud, polluting, gas-powered machines to care for our limited natural spaces.
Scythe is forging a new future by building intelligent, all-electric machines that unlock a new superpower: the ability to care for the outdoors pollution-free at enormous scale. From today's first steps in landscape maintenance to full-fledged re-terraforming in the future, Scythe is pioneering autonomous machinery that supports the ingenuity of humans, multiplying our power to nurture our planet.
At Scythe, you'll work with a team of world-class experts in everything from computer vision to mechanical engineering, pushing the limits of possibility and growing by overcoming hurdles along the way.
The world needs what we're building-come join us in making it a reality.
Customer Support Representative at Scythe
Scythe is looking for a Customer Support Representative to be front-line support for our landscapers operating M.52 in the field. Customer Support at Scythe facilitates the next chapter in Scythe's journey: ramping from dozens of units to tens of thousands. We've developed an industry-changing machine and have customers knocking down our door for units, so we're looking to scale by adding a dynamic and flexible team member to help us help our customers change how they care for outdoor spaces.
In this role you will triage, troubleshoot, and resolve customer issues as they come in through multiple channels. Additionally, you will work with internal tools to proactively resolve any machine issues before they impact our customer's operation. You'll be expected to work closely with our engineers, manufacturing teams, and customer success groups to ensure we are maintaining an acceptable level of Customer Support across the fleet.
Our customers operate in multiple U.S time zones, and our Customer Support operations run from 6am - 8pm Eastern, Monday through Friday. Please note in your application if your preference is for working hours in the earlier or later portion of the day, or if you have flexibility within that time range.

Working Environment
This is a hybrid role. Initial training will involve time in the field observing and learning to use M.52 so that you innately understand machine operation and operator behaviors. Initial and ongoing field time may be spent at our Vero Beach FL, Austin TX, or Longmont, CO locations.
Once training and onboarding is complete, the majority of working hours can be done from one of our locations, or remotely, provided that you can confirm reliable, secure, hard wired internet speeds of at least 100Mbs down and 30Mbs up and have a quiet working environment to take calls (i.e. a coffee shop is not an acceptable location for this work, nor is satellite or cellular or satellite provided internet).
