Softdocs is not your typical software company. We’re a fully remote, people-first company with employees across the United States, and our mission is to remove the burden of manual processes for the institutions that power everyday life: schools, universities, and government agencies.

We’re looking for a Client Support Technician who brings both technical curiosity and genuine empathy to every interaction. You’ll be the first person our clients talk to when something isn’t working as expected, and you’ll play a key role in helping institutions keep operations running smoothly for the communities they serve.
