Обязанности

Reporting to the Head of Care for Spend, you'll lead our Technical Support Specialists while acting as the technical bridge between Customer Care and Engineering. You'll be responsible for raising the technical maturity of the team, improving technical workflows and tooling, and enabling Customer Care to resolve increasingly complex issues independently.
This is a hands-on technical management role where you'll coach others, partner closely with Engineering, help shape the future of technical support at , and improve the L2/L3 collaboration model.
Lead L2 customer care: own the team responsible for the most complex, escalated customer issues that L1 support cannot resolve.
Manage hands-on technical support specialists: hire, coach, and grow a team of technically strong specialists; set expectations, review case quality, and provide technical mentorship (not just people management).
Debug alongside your team: get into the weeds on production issues yourself: read stack traces, review relevant code paths, query databases, and use observability tools to find root cause.
Deep-dive into logs: investigate application, API, and infrastructure logs to diagnose customer-reported issues, distinguishing product bugs from configuration, integration, or data issues.
Own technical escalations: act as the primary interface between customer care and engineering/product teams for issues requiring code changes, hotfixes, or architectural input.
Drive resolution, not just triage: ensure issues are actually solved and don't just get passed along; track time-to-resolution and repeat-issue rates.
Build tooling and process: identify recurring issues and work with engineering to fix them at the source; build internal runbooks, diagnostic tooling, and self-service resources for the team.
Report on health and trends: analyze ticket data, SLA/SLO performance, and escalation patterns; present insights to leadership on product quality and support health.
Coordinate incident response: represent customer care during major incidents, translating technical impact into customer communication and vice versa.

Требования

5+ years in Technical Support, Product Support, or Engineering-adjacent Customer Care within a SaaS or tech environment, with at least 2+ years managing a team of engineers or technical support staff.
Ability to read and reason about code (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or whatever your primary stack is) - you don't need to ship production code daily, but you should be comfortable tracing logic, spotting bugs, and having credible technical conversations with engineers.
Familiarity with REST/GraphQL APIs, and comfort troubleshooting with tools like Postman, curl, or browser dev tools.
Understanding of system architecture concepts (services, queues, caching, networking basics) sufficient to reason about where in a system a failure originates.
Experience with ticketing/support platforms (e.g. Zendesk, Jira Service Management, Intercom) and incident tools.
Track record of managing L2/L3 support functions, including escalation processes and SLA ownership.
Experience working directly with engineering teams - filing detailed bug reports, participating in triage, and influencing product roadmap based on support trends.
Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate deep technical detail into clear updates for both customers and executives.

AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled, so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.
We don't expect you to be an AI expert, but we do expect you to be curious and intentional about it. The bar is judgment: knowing when AI makes your work better, when to verify what it produces, and when to rely on your own expertise instead.
We'll ask about how you use AI in your interviews, not to test tool knowledge, but to understand how you think about it. That reflects how we work every day.
