Virtual Script Reader Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

Are you tired of support roles where you just follow scripts and never touch real code? As a Junior Support Engineer at BodySpec, you'll troubleshoot actual technical problems, write scripts to solve them, and work directly with our engineering team. You won't be stuck in a call center—you'll be the technical bridge between our users and our dev team, with a clear path to move into full-time engineering as you grow.
First-year Junior Support Engineers in Austin can expect to earn up to $70,170 in total cash compensation, plus equity.
You'll Love This Job If You Have:
•    Technical Curiosity: You want to understand how systems actually work, not just restart them when they break. You dig into logs, trace errors, and don't stop until you find the root cause.
•    Communication Clarity: You can explain technical problems to non-technical people without being condescending, and you can document issues for engineers without wasting their time. Your Slack messages are clear, concise, and actionable.
•    Coding Fundamentals: You have solid programming foundations and can pick up new languages as needed. You're comfortable writing scripts, querying databases, and reading code you didn't write.
•    Judgment on Escalation: You know when to solve something yourself and when to pull in engineering. You don't escalate everything, but you also don't sit on critical issues trying to be a hero.
•    Patience Without Passivity: You stay calm with frustrated users and stakeholders, but you're not a pushover. You advocate for real fixes, not just band-aids.
What Will You Do?
•    Troubleshoot technical issues across our website, admin systems, and internal tools—primarily via Slack with both internal teams and external stakeholders
•    Write scripts and queries to diagnose problems, pull data, and automate repetitive fixes
•    File detailed bug reports for engineering with reproduction steps, logs, and your initial diagnosis
•    Work directly with our engineering team to understand our tech stack and contribute to solutions
•    Provide weekend tech and dev support on a rotating schedule managed by the team
•    Document solutions and build internal knowledge bases so problems get solved faster over time
•    Grow your technical skills with the goal of transitioning into a full engineering role
Requirements
•    Based in Austin, TX and able to work in-person at our offices
•    0–2 years of experience in a technical support, dev support, or engineering-adjacent role (flexible if you can demonstrate the skills)
•    Strong programming fundamentals—comfortable in at least one language with ability to learn others
•    Experience with databases and writing queries (SQL or similar)
•    Excellent written communication—you'll live in Slack and email
•    Ability to thrive with direct, unfiltered feedback—we'll tell you exactly what you need to improve
•    Availability for rotating weekend support coverage
