Lead, mentor, and develop a team of support engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and customer empathy.

Establish and own the playbook for support engineering — including bug triage, incident response, and postmortem processes.

Serve as the ultimate escalation point for high‑priority customer incidents, managing stakeholder communication and coordinating resolution efforts.

Handle Tier‑2/3 escalations for complex issues involving APIs, integrations, chat widgets, or front‑end behavior.

Diagnose and reproduce bugs across .NET APIs, Angular, CSS/JS, Redis, Azure SQL, and mobile apps, with strong attention to performance and resource utilization.

Monitor and tune dashboards and alerts in Grafana/Loki, minimizing noise while surfacing meaningful insights.

Lead incident response, run postmortems, and track follow‑through on reliability improvements.

Automate recovery where possible (webhook retries, token refreshers, auto‑healing scripts).

Support and optimize

AI‑prompt workflows

powering chat and automation features.

Build internal support tools — admin consoles, configuration linters, replay utilities, or data‑fix scripts.

Document recurring issues in runbooks or macros so Customer Support can self‑serve.

Track metrics such as

FRT, MTTR, deflection, and escalation rate , driving continuous improvement.

Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers as the team expands.

Requirements

Experience in a formal leadership role, managing and mentoring a team of technical engineers.

Proven experience building and refining support processes from the ground up, including incident management, escalation paths, and on‑call rotations.
