About the role

Own the front line of Profound's ticket queue: triage, investigate, and resolve customer issues across our ticketing system and Slack-based support channels Reproduce bugs, read logs, and write queries to get to root cause, and escalate code-level issues to Engineering with clean, well-documented repro steps

What they're looking for

  • Excellent written communicator who can explain technical issues clearly and empathetically to customers, and precisely to engineers

  • Fast, curious learner who thrives in ambiguity and a high-iteration environment where the category itself is still being defined
  • Willing to participate in on-call rotations as part of a 24/7 coverage model
