Job Title: Technical Customer Support Specialist
Reporting To: Director of Customer Experience
Location: Remote
Salary: $45,000-$55,000 annually

Overview

We're a small team with big ideas. Sky Castle Studios (creator of Hero Forge) is a fully remote company. We're a group of talented artists, developers, character riggers, marketers, customer service agents, and gamers and nerds of all stripes. When we're not brainstorming and building new platforms, we're a group of friends sharing the latest in geek culture, exploring new technologies, and celebrating each other's creative pursuits.

Great work happens when people feel supported, so we offer flexible hours, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, and two company-wide one-week breaks each year on top of PTO and holidays. We also provide a home office equipment reimbursement, education and professional development reimbursement, and of course, free Hero Forge minis.

You should be a self-starter with initiative. We won't be looking over your shoulder, unless you're showing us the cool new thing you just designed.
