Customer Support Representative (South Africa, Remote) at Maple Finance

<h1><strong>Hi 👋 I’m Aidan, founder of Maple.</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">At <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://maple.inc">Maple</a>, we’re building AI agents that work for restaurants. These agents answer calls, take orders, book appointments, and handle real customer interactions over natural voice.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>But our bigger mission goes deeper:</strong> we’re building <strong>automated ontologies</strong> that model how businesses <em>actually</em> operate — their services, workflows, constraints, and language — so our agents can adapt to them instantly. We meet businesses where they are, not where software wants them to be.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We have <strong>many customers, strong revenue growth, years of runway, and backing from world-class investors</strong>. I’ll share more once we meet.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>Why This Role Exists</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">When a business signs with Maple, two things must happen:</p><ol style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">They must get live quickly.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">They must feel like we have their back.</p></li></ol><p style="min-height:1.5em">This role sits at the intersection of onboarding and support.
