Remote Tech Support Consultant - Work From Anywhere — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-Friendly & Async-Leaning Role
This Technical Support Consultant position is fully remote with a flexible schedule and explicitly no time-tracking requirements — a strong signal for async-friendly operations. However, customer support roles typically require coverage during certain business hours, so expect some schedule alignment with client time zones. Confirm shift windows during the interview process.
Location & Visa Considerations
The role is hinted for South Africa and Madagascar, but SupportYourApp operates globally and pays in USD. If you're a nomad in Southern Africa or the Indian Ocean region, this works well locally. Beyond those, digital nomad visa options in popular destinations include:
- Portugal (Lisbon): D8 Digital Nomad Visa available; USD pay stretches well outside Lisbon city center (~$1,500–2,000/mo living costs).
- Thailand (Bangkok/Chiang Mai): LTR Visa or tourist visa + border runs; very affordable at ~$800–1,200/mo, ideal for USD earners.
- Colombia (Medellín): Digital Nomad Visa (up to 2 years); costs ~$900–1,400/mo, strong co-working scene.
Tech Requirements to Note
You'll need a personal computer (8GB+ RAM) and a stable broadband connection (50 Mbps down / 40 Mbps up). In co-working spaces across Lisbon, Bangkok, or Medellín this is standard — but verify upload speeds specifically, as 40 Mbps upload can be trickier in budget spots.
SupportYourApp is a global Intelligent Support-as-a-Service leader, partnering with tech companies and industry leaders like MasterCard, Calm and MacPaw in 30+ countries since 2010 to deliver secure customer and technical support. We operate globally, supporting clients in 60 languages across diverse industries. So what if you had a chance to be a part of the world's leading SaaS, software, or hardware solutions?
Join our community as a Technical Support Consultant on a short-term basis, with the potential to continue into a long-term collaboration. Unlock your potential by mastering new skills and achieving challenging goals in cooperation with our People First management approach.
