Technical Services Specialist
"Technical Services is one of the most collaborative and energizing teams I’ve ever been part of. We balance deep technical problem-solving with meaningful client partnership, and no one does it alone. On any given day, someone is ready to jump in, share knowledge, or celebrate a win with you. It’s a team that genuinely cares about doing great work and about each other; and that’s why I love showing up every day." - Wyatt Hook - Director, Technical Services
As a Technical Services Specialist, you’ll take on a more advanced, consultative role supporting Absorb’s clients through technical integrations, data solutions, and cross-system automation. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys blending client engagement with hands-on technical execution; someone who thrives in complexity; someone who is as comfortable guiding a conversation as they are diagnosing an integration challenge.
You’ll lead technical projects from scoping to delivery, support more advanced integration use cases, and serve as a mentor and subject matter resource to our team. You’ll also help shape how our team works by contributing to process improvements, documentation, and new service offerings.
This role is well suited for someone ready to expand beyond typical support responsibilities and step into deeper ownership, influence, and autonomy.
