Product Support Engineer

Sourgum•Jersey City, NJ

About The Position

Sourgum is transforming the $100B+ waste and recycling industry through cutting-edge technology that makes waste removal simpler, smarter, and more cost-effective. Our innovative haulsourcing platform powers high-quality waste and recycling services for businesses at significantly lower costs—saving our customers an average of 20%. Leveraging proprietary datasets, an advanced operating system, and a carefully curated network of 5,000+ trusted vendors, we help companies of all shapes and sizes streamline their operations while advancing sustainability efforts. We’re a fast-growing, venture-backed company (just closed our Series A!) on a mission to modernize an outdated industry — and we’re just getting started. Our investors include Spark Capital, Founder Collective, Suffolk Technologies, 186 Ventures, and River Park Ventures, the same funds that backed category-defining companies like Slack, Anthropic, Uber, Venmo, and Amazon Pharmacy. If you’re driven by the opportunity to build something groundbreaking, we’d love to meet you. The Role: We’re looking for a Product Support Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and improving the stability of our platform. This role is focused on debugging, maintaining, and improving our existing codebase — not testing or identifying bugs, but actually fixing them. You’ll work closely with QA, and the Engineering team to ensure issues are resolved quickly and permanently, helping deliver a more stable and reliable experience for our users.

Requirements

3+ years of professional software engineering experience (or strong equivalent skills).
Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node, Go, C#).
Strong debugging skills — comfortable reading unfamiliar code, logs, and stack traces.
Understanding of software lifecycle, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).
Experience working with QA or support teams on issue resolution.
Curiosity and persistence in root-cause analysis — you like “making things right” more than “starting from scratch.”

Write high-quality, maintainable code that improves stability and performance.
Contribute automated tests or monitoring to ensure long-term reliability.
Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving overall code quality and technical debt reduction.
Document bug patterns, fixes, and debugging techniques for internal knowledge sharing.
Occasionally support production hotfixes or emergency patch releases in coordination with DevOps or SRE.
