Technical curiosity: comfortable digging into SaaS products, APIs, logs, or data. Clear, calm communicator, especially when customers are stuck or frustrated. Strong prioritization instincts; able to separate urgent from non-urgent quickly. Process-minded: improve workflows and leave things better than you found them. Nice to Have Experience with ticketing systems (Zendesk, Intercom, Linear, or similar). Technical writing skills (guides, FAQs, troubleshooting docs). Familiarity with SaaS product development lifecycles. Scripting or automation experience (Python, Bash, SQL). How We Work This is an in-person role based in Palo Alto. We work in-office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesdays are remote. We prize speed, reliability, and strong cross-functional collaboration. Why Join You’ll be joining Distro at a formative stage with real traction, real customers, and a massive industry to transform.
