Overview

The customer support team is the heart of the Flywheel organization. At other companies, support is an afterthought – often a second class citizen – but not here. At Flywheel we live and breathe customer support, and are looking for some amazing people to help us continue to provide an exceptional experience to our customers.

Our support team (we call them Happiness Engineers), focuses on going the extra mile to make sure our customers are happy. They help with all types of issues ranging from servers down to recommending plugins.
