Investigate and resolve highly complex technical issues requiring code-level understanding, performing in-depth analysis of product architecture, APIs, databases, and integration points
Create and maintain technical documentation focused on system architecture, integration patterns, and advanced troubleshooting methodologies
Develop custom scripts, tools, and utilities to diagnose issues, automate troubleshooting processes, and implement workarounds when needed
Participate in product development cycles, conduct code reviews, and contribute fixes for customer-impacting issues in collaboration with the engineering team
Design and implement data migration strategies, analyze system performance issues, and provide optimization recommendations for complex customer configurations
Lead technical discovery sessions with customers to understand requirements and provide implementation guidance for enterprise-level solutions
Create and deliver advanced technical training for internal teams and key customers while contributing to on-call rotations during critical incidents
What We Need From You
5+ years of experience in technical support or software engineering, preferably in the SaaS industry
Proficiency in at least one programming language relevant to the product stack (e.g., JavaScript, Python, Java, C#) and strong understanding of databases, SQL, API design, and integration patterns
Experience with software development methodologies, version control systems (Git), web technologies, frameworks, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Understanding of networking concepts, security principles, and authentication protocols with the ability to read and understand code bases to determine root causes of issues
Experience with performance tuning, debugging, and optimization techniques paired with strong analytical skills to break down complex technical problems systematically
Excellence in technical documentation with ability to explain complex concepts clearly while maintaining a customer-focused mindset balanced with engineering discipline
Demonstrated success in cross-functional collaboration between support, product, and engineering teams while managing multiple high-complexity cases simultaneously
Ability to speak and write English for customer communications in addition to the primary language for the product(s) being supported (May be one of English, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish)
