  • 60 Day:

    • Own front-line enterprise ticket triage with a focus on resolving most tickets within 30 minutes.

    • Contribute to SLA automation initiatives (Tasker, Slack bots, routing improvements).

    • Strengthen documentation to reduce repeat issues and increase team velocity.

Who You Are:

  • 4+ years in technical support, support engineering, or customer-facing technical roles at a SaaS or API-first company.
