About the role

We are seeking a Technical Support Engineer to join our Support team. In this role, you will serve as the primary internal escalation point for Support's most complex, multi-part customer issues, owning them from investigation through resolution, and acting as the buffer between Support and Engineering so that only genuinely engineering-level problems consume engineering time.

  • networking, firewalls, and VPNs,
  • softphone or CCaaS integrations,
  • log/observability tooling (Datadog or equivalent),
  • basic code literacy (Python, JSON, HTML/CSS/JS) to understand integration behavior,
