Backed by top‑tier investors and trusted by engineering teams at leading tech companies, Augment Code is redefining how modern software is built.

About the Team You’ll be joining the founding support team at a pivotal moment in Augment Code’s growth. This is a unique opportunity to help build the industry’s most trusted and relied‑on success and support organization for AI‑assisted coding. We’re establishing 24/5 follow‑the‑sun coverage across three global regions, and you’ll work closely with GTM (Solutions Architects, Account Executives), Engineering, and Product teams to ensure no Augment user—whether using an IDE plug‑in, the Auggie CLI, or remote agents— "walks alone."

About the Role As a Senior Support Engineer, you’ll be among the foremost technical experts for Augment Code’s platform. You’ll tackle the most complex customer challenges, design scalable support processes, mentor the team, and serve as a critical bridge between customers and engineering. This is a high‑impact role where you’ll shape the future of technical success/support in the AI era, working on low‑volume, high‑difficulty problems that require deep technical expertise and creative problem‑solving.

Partner with Engineering to contribute to reliability reviews and preparedness for new features, launches, or strategic customer requirement updates

Mentor and develop Support Engineers and Associate Support Engineers, establishing best practices and raising the technical bar

Have 6‑8+ years of experience in technical support, SRE/NOC, software engineering, or related technical roles

Possess a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience)—a strong software engineering foundation is important for this role’s success

Can work cross‑functionally in a high‑trust environment, coordinating efforts across teams during incidents

Have passion for AI and developer tools, with hands‑on experience using or supporting AI/ML platforms
