Position Summary
As a Customer Support - Tier I team member, you will serve as the first point of contact for dealers experiencing POS hardware and software issues. Your primary focus will be diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving problems related to point-of-sale systems, payment terminals, and peripheral devices used in dealership environments.
