Role

Who you are

At least one year as a commercial drone pilot or a degree/certificate in GIS, Geomatics, or a closely related geospatial field
Strong troubleshooting instincts and structured thinking—you’re comfortable breaking problems into steps, testing hypotheses, and explaining what you did
Proven ability to manage a ticket queue: prioritize well, follow through, and keep customers and teammates in the loop without heavy day-to-day oversight
Excellent written and verbal communication; you can turn technical details into clear, straightforward guidance
Demonstrated empathy and composure in customer-facing roles, especially when users are frustrated or facing time-sensitive field conditions
Curiosity and a learning mindset—you like new tools, new workflows, and understanding how customers actually use the product
Ability to consistently work an early-day schedule aligned to Pacific or Mountain Time (for example, ~7:00 a.m–4:00 p.m. PT or 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. MT), Monday through Friday, plus occasional travel for events or training
Drone Certification: For this position, obtaining a USA–Part 107 license is essential within the first 90 days of employment and must be maintained for the entirety of tenure in the role
Nice to have (not required): experience in construction, surveying, agriculture, energy, or facilities; experience with 360 cameras, RTK/PPK, GIS/CAD/photogrammetry tools; familiarity with APIs/SSO/SQL, JIRA, Confluence, Zendesk, Google Workspace; fluency in another language (e.g., Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese); interest in photography or imaging
We champion diversity and encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply—even if they don't meet every listed qualification

What the job involves

As a Product Support Associate, you are a front-line technical expert for customers using DroneDeploy’s drone flight, 360 capture, and mapping tools
You’ll own issues from intake to resolution—troubleshooting across mobile, web, and field workflows, and surfacing patterns that point to product or process improvements
Reporting to the Manager of Product Support, your work keeps customers productive on high-stakes projects and feeds real customer signals back into how we build and support the platform
This role is expected to use AI tooling thoughtfully to improve research, troubleshooting, documentation, and response quality while maintaining accuracy and sound judgment in customer communications
Employees are expected to work from home with reliable internet and maintain availability during the team’s core business hours
Resolve customer tickets via email, chat, and phone in Zendesk, meeting SLAs while keeping responses crisp, accurate, and on-brand
Diagnose issues across flight planning, drone and 360 capture, uploads, processing, and visualization, using logs, screenshots, and context to get to root causes
Spot recurring themes and edge cases, and escalate clearly to Product, Engineering, or Technical Support with sharp summaries and reproduction steps
Write and update customer-facing help content and internal runbooks that make the next issue faster and easier to solve
Use AI-enabled and standard support tools to research issues, summarize threads, and draft strong responses, then refine them based on your own judgment and customer context
Handle tough conversations with calm, empathy, and de-escalation skills that keep relationships strong even when customers are under pressure
Contribute to small projects that sharpen team operations, from improving macros and workflows to refining how we measure and report support performance
