About the job
We are a fast-growing startup and are looking for a highly motivated Customer Support Engineer.

This is a unique opportunity to work at a fast-growing startup, while directly improving lives.
Trexo's work doesn’t stop with children. We are working towards building mobility solutions for all. At Trexo Robotics, you will find a flat organization where you can work with highly optimistic, low ego, and exceptionally talented individuals who look forward to solving hard problems.
