Senior Support Engineer
Town Web · HeyGov · ClerkMinutes. Remote, Central US hours. $85,000 to $105,000 a year. Open to candidates in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
About us
We make municipal software built for clerks: websites residents can use, forms and payments that replace stacks of paper, and meeting minutes drafted after every meeting. More than 1,300 local governments rely on us, from counties and cities to villages and towns. We have local government clients in almost every state in the U.S.
Our clients are municipal clerks and the government teams around them. They keep city hall running and rarely get thanked for it. Your job is to make working with us the easy part of their week.
The role
This is the senior seat on our Client Success team. We are hiring you to raise the standard of our support: fix what is broken, write down how it should work, and show what great looks like.
Our AI agent now answers repeatable, well-documented questions. What is left is the work that only a person can do: own a client's problem from the first message to the confirmed fix, build a relationship a clerk trusts, and turn what you learn into better documentation and a better product.
This is not a ticket-closing job. Think of a great 5-star hotel that puts slippers by the bed before you ask. We want a clerk to finish a conversation with you and tell the clerk in the next town about the great experience they had. If that takes three calls, take three calls.
It is also a technical job. You will work with our developers every day. When something breaks, you work out where it lives before anyone else has to. Is the problem on the events calendar on the client's homepage, or in the calendar widget embedded on a department page? Is the wrong speaker name only in the transcript, or is it also in the finished minutes? You reproduce it, write it up so a developer can act without a follow-up question, stay on it until it ships, and tell the client yourself.
You need both halves. A brilliant troubleshooter who is short with a clerk will not work here. Neither will a lovely person who forwards every problem to a developer.
