Lead and transform the US support function into a modern, AI-first customer experience organization, combining technical hands-on work and team leadership.
Responsibilities
- This is a technical role first. You must be able to write code, SQL, and data integrations yourself. Engineering ability is a hard requirement here, not a nice-to-have. If you would hand the technical work to someone else, this is not your role.
- You'll lead our US support function and transform it into a modern, AI-first customer experience organization. This is a player-coach role where you build the team while staying hands-on with the technical work they do. You own our AI support agent, write the SQL queries that drive decisions, and serve as the customer's advocate when something breaks.
- Your real mandate is transformation. Take our support team from where it is today and turn it into a smaller group of more capable people who earn respect from Product, Engineering, and Compliance. When a customer has an issue, you either resolve it directly or fix the process that caused it.
- Manage and grow the US support team through hiring, coaching, QA, and setting daily operational standards while introducing specialization and forward-deployed engineering practices
- Write and optimize SQL queries to analyze support patterns, measure AI agent performance, and turn data into decisions about what issues to prioritize fixing
- Own and tune our AI support agent hands-on by adjusting resolution rates, building automation workflows, creating custom responses, and setting up guardrails
- Lead incident response as the customer's point person during outages, managing engineering bridge calls, publishing status updates, and building repeatable playbooks
- Build technical integrations using REST APIs, webhooks, and Python automation that let the support team resolve issues without waiting for engineering
- Create white-glove experiences for high-value customers with named ownership, same-day follow-up, and proactive communication about platform changes
- Partner with Product and Engineering to push fixes that eliminate entire categories of support tickets and represent customer needs in technical discussions
Requirements
- 5+ years leading customer-facing teams with experience transforming support organizations, not just maintaining them
- Expert-level SQL skills including complex joins, CTEs, window functions, and aggregations against large data warehouses
- Hands-on AI/LLM support agent management with deep understanding of resolution metrics, automation workflows, and performance tuning
- Python programming experience for building automations, data analysis, and API integrations
- Technical troubleshooting ability to read logs, API responses, and traces well enough to root-cause issues alongside engineering teams
- Exceptional written communication that is firm, empathetic, and concise under pressure
- Availability for escalations within 30 minutes including nights and weekends
- (Plus) Experience with regulated trading platforms or financial services customer support
- (Plus) DeFi and crypto wallet knowledge including on-chain mechanics and wallet integrations
- (Plus) Trading platform outage remediation or "make-whole" program experience
- (Plus) Modern AI-first support stack familiarity with build, test, deploy cycles for AI agents
