Preferred Experience:

• Experience with geolocation tools or Remote Command (RC) interfaces

As a Remote Assistance Operator, you'll:

• Actively monitor an assigned vehicle using the Remote Command (RC) interface and multiple camera feeds.
• Proactively intervene when necessary using system tools.
• Log all interventions and key observations in real time (Notion/Google Sheets).
• Conduct post-trip reviews and flag any anomalies.
• Participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) sessions and contribute to the edge-case knowledge base.
• Track and report operational metrics.
• Ensure a clean shift handoff by communicating key context to the incoming Shift Lead.

Working Conditions:

• On-site work from the Remote Operations Center in Austin, TX
• Rotating shifts, including weekends
• Availability for both morning and evening shifts required (schedule flexibility preferred)

• Pre-tax commuter benefits
