## About the role

Bug triage and diagnosis: Sitting closest to where things break. You'll be the first line of investigation when customers hit issues, combining sharp debugging instincts with a deep understanding of how the platform works end-to-end. Feedback loop to the team: Translating what you see in the field - friction, bugs, missing features, workarounds - into clear, actionable signal for the rest of the team.

## What they're looking for

- 1+ years software experience: You've built or maintained production software and are comfortable reading, debugging, and making changes to a live codebase
- Excellent debugging and empathy in equal measure: You can dig into a browser automation issue and explain what happened to a non-technical customer
- Strong customer instincts: You listen carefully, ask the right questions, and spot the real problem behind what someone is describing
- Bias for action: You don't wait for an approval. You identify something, fix it if you can, and escalate clearly if you can't
