Come help us make the Web a better place!

Update: Thank you to all who applied, this role has been filled. Keep an eye out for future opportunities at AdBlock!

AdBlock is a small team that serves more than 60 million people across the globe. Our mission is to ensure our users have a worry-free and distraction-free online browsing experience. Our main product is one of the most popular browser extensions worldwide and has been downloaded more than 250 million times. AdBlock works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, as well as on Apple macOS, iOS, and Android devices.

Our team is distributed across North America. While we have a small office in San Francisco, most of us work remotely. What unites us is a desire to make it easier and safer for users to browse the Web. And we’re on the lookout for our next awesome team member!

What We’re Looking For

As our Support Specialist, you’ll provide a valuable service to the millions of people that use AdBlock products daily. We strive to solve support issues in a friendly and compassionate way, and you will be our first line of communication with AdBlock users. You’ll engage with people via our help desk, product reviews, social media, and other channels. You’ll also have the opportunity to assist in knowledge base, blog, and other writing projects, so strong writing skills are a must.

We are looking for an empathetic support person who is excited to help AdBlock users solve a wide range of potential issues, from deeply technical problems to basic troubleshooting. Since our support team is small, our ideal candidate will also be comfortable wearing many hats.

You’ll report to our Director of Support and will have the opportunity to be involved in a variety of projects. This is a coverage position so while there is flexibility in the schedule, you’ll need to be available during general business hours.

You Will:

  • Be a critical member of the team responsible for addressing customer issues quickly via help desk tickets and other channels
  • Provide a voice for the user within AdBlock, alerting us to issues users are facing and features users are hoping for
  • Identify technical issues and collaborate with our quality assurance and engineering teams to ensure they get resolved for our users
  • Answer questions about AdBlock’s multiple products and provide user guidance around best practices in ad blocking and online privacy

You Have:

  • Experience providing customer support to a wide range of users
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • The ability to prioritize, organize, and complete tasks independently
  • A strong desire to deliver the best customer experience possible
  • An excellent attitude and sense of ownership over your work

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with Freshdesk
  • Experience providing technical support for browser-based products, such as extensions or apps
  • Knowledge of ad blocking, malware, and online privacy issues
  • Experience working on a remote team

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • 100% remote, flexible work: work in whatever way produces the best results
  • Regular compensation reviews: we reward great work
  • Medical and dental insurance
  • 401(k) + company match
  • Company investment in professional development and training
  • MacBook or Windows laptop and whatever equipment you need to work effectively

We’d Love to Work With You

We’re serious about our work, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We want AdBlock to be a place where people love their work, like their co-workers, and treat everyone with respect and empathy.

We are a small team, and we believe our strength comes from our diversity. We strive to create an inclusive environment where differences in race, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, political and religious affiliation, socioeconomic background, cultural background, geographic location, disabilities and abilities, relationship status, veteran status, and age only make us stronger.

  • The title of the position you’re applying for and your full name in the subject line
  • Your resume
  • A cover letter (feel free to include it in the body of your email)
