Job Description

Senior Technical Support Engineer at Zip ensuring fast and accurate customer support. Play a critical role connecting Support, Product, and Engineering teams to resolve complex technical issues.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the final technical escalation point for Support, unblocking TSEs, CSMs, and onboarding teams with expert-level troubleshooting.
  • Triage and validate bugs, perform deep-dive investigations, reproduce issues, and determine ownership before routing to Engineering with complete context.
  • Partner directly with Engineering to master Zip’s architecture, including workflow nodes, task engines, integrations, and API layers.
  • Identify, build, and maintain scalable escalation pathways from Customer → Product → Engineering.
  • Strengthen internal triage processes by closing knowledge gaps, improving documentation, and optimizing tooling and workflows.
  • Develop clear standards for debugging, ticket handoffs, reproduction steps, and prioritization signals to improve Engineering alignment and SLA predictability.
  • Collaborate with Product as the voice of the customer, influencing roadmap decisions through patterns surfaced in escalations.
  • Work directly with customers when highly technical or urgent issues require senior-level expertise.
  • Support Sales, CSM, Onboarding, and TAM functions as a subject-matter expert across procurement workflows, integrations, and system configurations.
  • Use internal tools, logs, and observability platforms (e.g., DataDog) to analyze customer configurations, trace failures, and understand system behavior.
  • Validate integration flows using REST/GraphQL payloads, webhooks, APIs, and third-party systems.
  • Drive improvements by identifying systemic issues from recurring case patterns.

Requirements:

  • 5–6 years in a technical, customer-facing role, with at least 2 years serving as an escalation point or senior technical leader within Support.
  • Proven experience partnering directly with Engineering teams as the conduit between customer-facing teams and R&D.
  • Demonstrated success supporting enterprise-scale customers across multiple industries.
  • Track record of owning complex problems end-to-end, especially in high-pressure scenarios or SLA-sensitive engagements.

Benefits:

  • 📈 Start-up equity
  • 🚠 Team building events
  • 🌴 Flexible PTO
  • 💻 Apple equipment plus home office budget
