• Investigate issues using internal tools, system logs, and product knowledge to identify solutions or workarounds
• Diagnose and troubleshoot issues, escalating deeper or ambiguous investigations
• Reproduce bugs, gather supporting evidence, and escalate issues to Product and Engineering teams (e.g., via Jira), ensuring clear documentation, alignment, and follow-through to resolution
• Communicate directly with customers to resolve technical issues, ensuring timely updates and a high-quality support experience
• Translate technical findings into clear, user-friendly explanations for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Participate in customer calls (Zoom, screen shares) to troubleshoot issues in real time and support resolution
• Serve as a liaison between Support and Product & Engineering teams, meeting regularly to drive issue resolution, align on prioritization, and communicate clear expectations to customers
• Partner with internal teams to support investigation and resolution of technical issues
• Coach and mentor team members on troubleshooting approaches and technical problem-solving to help them effectively investigate and resolve complex customer issues.
• Participate in an on-call rotation to support incident response, which may require availability outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed
• Contribute to knowledge base content and internal documentation to improve team efficiency and consistency
• Support updates to technical documentation, including content within the Developer Portal related to integrations and APIs
• Document troubleshooting steps, known issues, and solutions to support future case resolution
• Identify recurring issues and trends and provide feedback to Product and Engineering teams to support product, process, and tooling improvements
• Stay up to date on product changes, releases, and technical updates to maintain strong product knowledge
• Provide support coverage during company-observed holidays as needed to ensure continuity of service for customers
• Work assigned schedules that support coverage across established support hours, which may change based on business needs

You Have:

• 3+ years of experience in a technical support or customer support role, preferably in a SaaS or FinTech environment
• Experience troubleshooting complex technical issues involving APIs, SFTP, SSO/SAML, integrations, or backend systems
• Familiarity with tools such as HubSpot (or similar CRM), Jira, SQL, logging tools (e.g., DataDog), and browser developer tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose issues and determine next steps
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tickets in a fast-paced environment
