Working Student - Technical Customer Support

Your Role

Our customers run 24/7 operations across multiple countries. When support is needed on a Sunday or early hours on weekdays, you are the crucial first line of defense.

As part of a dedicated 4-person Working Student cohort in Technical Customer Support, your team will fully own the 24-hour Sunday support cycle on a rotational basis. You will monitor system health, check critical alerts, respond to customer inquiries, and coordinate with our Field Engineers and Integration teams to prevent worst-case scenarios and keep our scanning solutions running.

This is not just logging tickets. You will be actively fault-finding, interacting directly with customers, and taking on massive ownership in a fast-paced corporate environment. If you want a role where your weekend work makes a highly visible, critical difference to global operations, this is it.
