German-Speaking Technical Support / SaaS Support Specialist

About the Role

Technical support specialists help customers diagnose and resolve problems with software, devices, networks or business systems. A German-speaking support professional may assist users and administrators across Germany, Austria and Switzerland while working with international engineering and service teams in Ireland. The role calls for methodical troubleshooting, clear written records and the ability to explain technical concepts to people with different levels of expertise. German proficiency is valuable when guiding customers through steps or discussing incidents; English is commonly used for internal escalations, documentation and training. Depending on the product, support may cover access issues, configuration, integrations, performance or service incidents. Some teams work standard business hours, while others operate shifts or on-call schedules; these arrangements must be confirmed for each vacancy. Technical support can develop into senior support, solutions engineering, implementation, cloud operations or product-specialist roles. The precise technical stack and level of complexity depend on the employer.

• Follow security procedures when handling access and account issues.
• Contribute to knowledge articles and recurring-incident analysis.
• Collaborate with product and service teams on customer-impacting issues.

Essential Requirements

• Professional German fluency and clear English communication.
• Strong analytical thinking and patient troubleshooting habits.
• Practical familiarity with software, operating systems or network concepts.
• Ability to document technical findings accurately.
• Awareness of information security and safe handling of customer data.

Desirable Qualifications

• Experience in helpdesk, SaaS support, IT administration or technical service.
• Familiarity with APIs, SQL, cloud services or ticketing systems.

• Competitive base salary depending on employer and experience
