Must‑have
Support Engineering experience:
You have hands‑on experience in a technical support or support engineering role in a SaaS environment
Technical depth (APIs / workflows):
You are comfortable debugging integrations, APIs, or workflow‑based systems
Operational ownership:
You are used to owning queues, metrics, and day‑to‑day operations with a strong sense of accountability
Escalation ownership:
You know when and how to elevate. You write escalations that lead with customer name, ARR, business impact, and data — not vague summaries. When a bug is confirmed, you open the ticket immediately and communicate that to the customer. You do not sit on it.
Problem‑solving mindset:
You are known for quickly identifying root causes and unblocking complex situations
Team leadership:
You have experience managing or mentoring engineers and running effective team rituals
Execution & organization:
You thrive in fast‑paced environments and bring structure, clarity, and follow‑through
Tone & communication intelligence:
You understand the difference between collaborative investigation and adversarial questioning. You know how to ask for evidence in a way that signals partnership, not skepticism, and you coach your team to do the same.
Proactive communication discipline:
You follow up before customers ask. You send updates even when there’s nothing new to report. You treat a customer having to chase you as a failure, and you hold your team to the same standard.
Empathetic leadership:
You are used to working with low ego, pushing the team forward with your strategic knowledge and are an avid listener to their needs in order to empower them
Nice‑to‑have
Automation & AI mindset:
You have experience building automations or using AI to scale support operations
Documentation & knowledge sharing:
You enjoy creating playbooks, improving KBs, and scaling knowledge across teams
Data‑driven approach:
You are comfortable using metrics like CSAT, SLA, and backlog trends to drive decisions
Remote‑first experience:
You have worked in distributed teams and know how to maintain alignment and communication
Enterprise account experience:
You have worked with high‑ARR, enterprise‑tier customers where the stakes of every interaction extend beyond the ticket itself to renewal, expansion, and trust.
Emotional intelligence in customer threads:
You can read the temperature of a conversation and recognize when frustration is building before it becomes explicit. You adjust approach accordingly and help your team develop the same awareness.
