About Blue Robotics

At Blue Robotics, we enable the field of marine robotics with affordable components and systems. What does this really mean? We design cool tech for use underwater that enables tons of people and organizations to pursue their audacious dreams of exploring and learning about our oceans and waterways. Our community is out there doin’ things – they’re mapping Hawaii’s sickest surf breaks, exploring shipwrecks that have long been forgotten, and building bots that are solving complex world problems.

About the Role

We're looking for a human to help on the front lines of our Customer Success team. Nearly all of our communications with our community happen over email, and we pride ourselves on fast, friendly, and thoughtful service. We're looking for someone who is a quick learner and excited about the future of ocean tech - this is a great opportunity to build a career in marine robotics. Do you know what a thruster is? Do you know what fair trade agreements are? If not, that's okay - we'll teach you ALL the things!

We hire people for their potential - not just the job they're doing today. Customer Success is one of the best places to learn our business. You'll work with customers from around the world, collaborate with nearly every team at Blue Robotics, and gain a deep understanding of our products, community, and mission. We believe in hiring great people for their potential, and many teammates have grown into new opportunities across the company as their interests and skills evolved.

You should be a skilled multitasker with strong attention to detail. Our customers are integrating our products into end uses around the world, and it will be your job to make sure those products make it to their final destination. That could mean battling the DHL gods to get something pushed through customs, or it could mean being a detective and tracking down when a certain screw with a specific thread size will be back in stock.

We use AI as part of our workflow, and you should be comfortable using it, but our correspondences need to feel human. We’re not looking for someone who relies on AI to do the writing, you should be able to create clear, well-structured emails on your own.

We are seeking a smart, stoked, and hungry human to join our team and help get our technology out into the wild. The ideal candidate will have an interest in the ocean and/or technology, have experience working with remote teams, and have some customer service experience. We are so excited to meet you!!

Growth at Blue Robotics

We believe that understanding our customers is one of the best foundations for a career at Blue Robotics.

Customer Success teammates regularly collaborate with Operations, Partnerships, Sales, and Technical Support making this an ideal role for someone who loves learning, solving problems, and discovering where they can make the biggest impact.
