• Act as a technical and strategic partner to key enterprise customers, helping resolve escalations and provide proactive guidance.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to surface customer feedback, resolve issues quickly, and improve customer relationships.
• Build tooling and internal processes to increase support efficiency, quality, and scalability.

• Establish and monitor support KPIs (e.g. CSAT, time to resolution, backlog health) and drive continuous improvement.
• Contribute to the knowledge base, support documentation, and technical resources to build leverage by empowering customers and internal teams.

What You’ll Need

• 3–5 years of people management experience in technical support or a similar customer-facing engineering role.

• Track record of implementing and improving support processes, SLAs, and escalation protocols in a high-growth or high-availability environment.
• Strong leadership, mentoring, and team-building skills, with a focus on performance management and career development.
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, product, and customer success teams to drive issue resolution and customer satisfaction.
• Experience with Zendesk administration, Jira, and Salesforce.
• Familiarity with scripting languages like Python or Bash, working knowledge of SQL, and experience interacting with a variety of APIs.
• Functional understanding of data integration tools, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), and modern DevOps tooling (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
